Is there a way to execute code dynamically from a string within AGK2?

This is a contrived example, but in JavaScript I could do something like this.



In GLBasic I could use CALLBYNAME

Some equivalent of this in AppGameKit is what I'm looking for.

I like that idea too.
Recently I asked for something like this in the v2 Feature Requests Thread.

But it is unlikely that we get it because you can bypass AppGameKit with it, not?

Until we get that feature, you must stay with Markus's suggestion.
Or #constants if you just need shortcuts for functions.

I think a true eval would be difficult since AppGameKit is compiled and eval must be interpreted, but something like GLBasic's
works for most of the things I would want and should be doable. I'm trying to avoid huge select statements like Markus suggests as they just muddy the code IMHO.

but agree this call by name will be a good feature.
