Well, I finally figured out something that you guys could actuially use (though I suppose its already been done....). Well I'll start with the screeny:



I am porting the python scripting engine over to DarkBasic. Its something I could use, and I figure others could too. The screenshot shows me testing File I/O. But I will soon re-direct the standard I/O so you can trap messages directly from python. Of course all python-related imports will work, like WxPython and PyGame ^_^.

*Edit
Don't worry, I'll also add the ability to execute files (and most likely a good number of other things)

*Edit2
And i'll find a way to get and set variables between darkbasic and python.

*Edit3
File execution in ^_^

Python is a very very nice scripting language.

Python looks like this:

If you can get variables passed to and from python/DBPro, it could be useful, especially if the script could run co-currently to DBPro as well...

Well I know python itself has threading support. I can write a python script to execute threaded tasks. But I think i will try to add threading DLL-side, that way maby I can create the "ThreadExecuteString" and "ThreadExecuteFile" which will do their perspective tasks in an async threaded fassion

Forget about variable passing for the moment.

I did manage to get integers/dwords/floats/strings all working at one point, but it was a real hack (as in trying to work out the addresses from the executable code as it was executing) and didn't work a lot of the time.

When/if pass-by-reference is built into the compiler things may change.

Ok, one more for the record before I have to go to work..



By the time i'm done, the whole memblock thing will be transparent

* Edit
I'll eventuially release this with an external "dbfuncs.pyc" which you'll "from dbfuncs import *". I'll make the darkbasic-side functions in the DLL. I plan to do something like this:

DB Pro Code:


The package will make all memory allocation, movement, etc, transparent. I know how i'll do it, but I've gotta leave for work in 40 minutes.. This is gonna take a great deal of time to finish

Someone could have a lot of fun with this. One of my favorite Python applications is OpenRPG, a client/server 2D chat and mapping program.

This looks really good. Especially useful for times when you might want scripting in your game, or even for solving equations on the fly!

Yeah, if you don't know how python works. You edit python scripts and save them as .py. When they are first executed, they are compiled on thef ly as .pyc. When you distribute your game, you can just release the .pyc files, which contains aonly bytecode which cannot be read by humans! That means you can easily update small parts of your program without having to send the hwole thing again. (Not to mention giving yoru application its own plug-in support. Online games really accell with scripting languages like this ^_^

Thanks. This is good. Really good.
I spent all of last spring in (North) Charleston, SC.
Interesting place, with the spanish moss and all.
I hope that you can finish this project before it gets too hot.
Python rules.

Peace, the anti-Bush.
