LoafScript | A programming language made entirely within RetroStudio! [1163915202_50]

[hollow jetty]

i think ive heard of it?

[pine fable]

templeOS is an OS made by some christian dude

it has a custom programming language named holyC

also a terminal

[hollow jetty]

AHA

YES

I HAVE HEARD OF IT BEFORE

searching it up jogged my memory

too complicated

lowk

BUT

an entire like OS in retrostudio could be fun to make

like a fake computer

AND

I can add loafscript support to it

[pine fable]

tbh make a really really lite version of linux that supports loafscript

[hollow jetty]

so you can code loafscript INSIDE THE OS

[hollow jetty]

nah ill just do my own thing

[pine fable]

Retrbuntu

[hollow jetty]

similar to how instead of recreating how real programming languages work, loafscript is extremely simplified with a lot of workarounds

i mean after a programming language it makes sense to make an OS

imagine like LoafOS, login, password, desktop, different apps, a fake internet, etc etc

tbh sounds too complicated

i want to make it possible to make 2d games with loafscript one day

[pine fable]

is loafscript's whole thing like

[hollow jetty]

like in the menu, a new button to make a game with loafscript

instead of just a script

[pine fable]

ui a interpreter and smth

[hollow jetty]

?

[hollow jetty]

it splits each line individually with the separator being a space

and then it loops through all lines

executes a run code function

where it does all the checks on the separated string

[pine fable]

oh so it like checks the syntax

[hollow jetty]

yr

yea

basically

theres a lot more to it but thats the very basics

[pine fable]

this genuinely amazes me

[hollow jetty]

also the variables you make are stored in a CreatedVariables table

when i make functions ill make a CreatedFunctions table as well

[pine fable]

loafstar if you make this a more advanced scripting language could you make a version of loafscript that is like roblox script editor but it gets turned into visual source inside retrostudio using plugins

[hollow jetty]

I just figured out how to make if statements

Like in my head

Basically I can make the code runners ignore lines that start with ">" or "else"

This would mean the syntax would be:

> print String: yo,_its_0
else
> print String: oh_no_its_not_0```

THEN to make it run the code when the if statement is true I use the same block code from the "execute from line" except change the from and to values accordingly by adding or subtracting from the current line (current line would be the if statement line)

or maybe run the code if the statement is true in a different way idk yet

[wispy galleon]

YO if statements?!?!

and looping?

if statements are still missing tho...

[hollow jetty]

ye we now have looping

but i will still add functions

when functions get added, execute from line will become useless

[hollow jetty]

i figured out a better way to do if statements

im gonna do this in like an hour from now

[hollow jetty]

print string: eee
else
print string: noo
end```

this is how the syntax will be like

im gonna make if statements right now

[hollow jetty]

@brisk hull in the next update the output text will be smaller

much nicer

and more consisten with text size

[hollow jetty]

sneak peek

[grizzled plaza]

try make a documentation for this custom language

[hollow jetty]

i wanted to make the wiki page serve as the documentation, but i cant make the wiki page yet cuz the game doesnt have 1k visits

another sneak peek

[grizzled plaza]

ah ok

[pine fable]

like a script editor like the loafscript game in retro studio but its a plugin that can be used to make visual source with text

[brisk hull]

Wowwww

Thats cool

[hollow jetty]

Yes it is

Currently, this fucking works

BUT

It can get censored :(

[brisk hull]

a

[hollow jetty]

and also I haven't made it save when you leave yet.

[brisk hull]

Sad

[hollow jetty]

yea

im not releasing it till i fix the censoring issues

[brisk hull]

is it published?

oh

i dont think u can really fix it though

[hollow jetty]

theres a way i think

[forest tapir]

add the ability to split strings and table support

[hollow jetty]

splitting a string in a language thats based around splitting a string

sure

but tables.

i havent made tbales yetr

so wait

[forest tapir]

so someone can make LoafScript inside of LoafScript

[hollow jetty]

im currently working on this

current progress:

chat this took me way too long to make

[forest tapir]

does it save

[hollow jetty]

yes it saves

vro watch the video

pay attention to the video

[forest tapir]

bro I mean when you leave and rejoin

[hollow jetty]

oh

not yet

im focusing on trying to stop it getting tagged

i have no clue how to do this

i tried combine string with number

idk if i did it right

[forest tapir]

you basically can't

[hollow jetty]

??!?

this is completely local

why is it getting tagged

[forest tapir]

you load variable from a script (not local), right?

[hollow jetty]

no

every script in this game is local

as of now

[forest tapir]

you can make it not tag

[hollow jetty]

how

[forest tapir]

you just have to save the string somewhere, in a script or even in the game.

as a stringvalue or smth

[hollow jetty]

so i should put it in a string value object

???

[wispy galleon]

that would still get filtered

[hollow jetty]

the code?

[forest tapir]

get object property doesn't tag, and locally saving in the same script won't tag either.

[hollow jetty]

alr let me try it

[forest tapir]

you can set object property locally without filtering

not really a bypass if you can't broadcast it to everyone forcefully

[hollow jetty]

what sets the string value?

the code editor?

[forest tapir]

I guess?
the one that has the script. (LoafScript)

[hollow jetty]

alr

only set the value when its saved?

duh

but hold on

[forest tapir]

yeah

[hollow jetty]

this is ONE string value.

for all code.

is that ok?

[forest tapir]

yes

[hollow jetty]

like its one string value obj

Ok

got it

[forest tapir]

new lines work with stringvalues

[hollow jetty]

WAIT

[signal fulcrum]

why does print Number: math 20 * 20 output "Hello, world!"

[hollow jetty]

its already getting object property

[hollow jetty]

what

oh its cause thats wrong syntax

you cant print math

make it a variable first

then print the variable

[signal fulcrum]

oh alr

[hollow jetty]

var number: myvar = math 20 * 20
print variable: myvar

[wispy galleon]

why does print default to hello world tho

[hollow jetty]

no clue

[hollow jetty]

why was this tagged

[forest tapir]

when you click save, Get Object Property (Text of TextBox) and Set Object Property (Value of StringValue)

[hollow jetty]

this is how it works already

[hollow jetty]

okayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[forest tapir]

creating a new script will make a new stringvalue with the default code

[hollow jetty]

do i still need the stupid combine string with number

someone said that that stops it from filtering but it didnt work for me

[forest tapir]

no, you don't need any combine block.

just set the textbox's text to the value of the stringvalue

[hollow jetty]

ok

[hollow jetty]

you just said the opposite of that

[hollow jetty]

which is it

set the value to the textbox text or the other way round???

[forest tapir]

this is for loading

opening a script

[forest tapir]

this for saving a script

[hollow jetty]

alr

[hollow jetty]

wait, currently it loads by getting the code from a table

what do i do with the table

[forest tapir]

that's also a way.
either stringvalue or table.
You can keep table, it's easier to work with.
instead of Get Object Property and Set Object Property do Get Table Value and Set Table Value.

wait

Get Object Property still for TextBox tho

Code = Get Object Property(Textbox, "Text")
Set Table Value(Table, CodeName, Code)

load/open:
Code = Get Table Value(Table, CodeName)
Set Object Property(Textbox, "Text", Code)```

[hollow jetty]

uh

[hollow jetty]

i dunno if i can do this with the way it works

[forest tapir]

how does your table work right now

[hollow jetty]

see, its like, 2 local scripts communicating with eachothr

the table is in the myscripts localscript

[forest tapir]

and you receive a BindableEvent/Function?

[hollow jetty]

yea

to save iut

[forest tapir]

yeah that filters

[hollow jetty]

from the code editor

hold on

let me show you my code

[forest tapir]

you could rescript the myscripts localscript to be a modulescript probably

[empty jackal]

I may sleep now. Thank you

[hollow jetty]

it doesnt matter cuz execute from line is a new thing that is intended for loops

so yes loops are possible now

just no way to end the fucking loooop

[empty jackal]

How will you add if statements?

Like

Do you have a plan or na

[hollow jetty]

i have a plan

guaranteed to work in my head

i know how to make it execute if its true in my head
and how to make it ignore stuff inside if statements so it only happens when its true

i just gotta put those two together

havent gotten around to it yet

[empty jackal]

Nice

[night mortar]

bro, this is insane

[hollow jetty]

ty

[night mortar]

gonna test it

you are so good at scripting

but making your own language inside of RetroStudio

wow

[hollow jetty]

@brisk hull I stole your script and saved it to my scripts

[brisk hull]

ok

[hollow jetty]

vro didd you not realize

I GOT SAVING SCRIPTS WORKING

IT DOESNT TAG

but because it doesnt tag, no datastores

so yeah fuck

[brisk hull]

is it like the default script you get

[hollow jetty]

but oh well what can you do

[hollow jetty]

no

i will be publishing the save code update soon

[night mortar]

Very cool

I'm testing and it's fire

[brisk hull]

do you mean like the names or the scripts that tag

[hollow jetty]

the scripts

[brisk hull]

oh

sad

[hollow jetty]

wym sad

the scripts got tagged and that was an issue

also the names of the scripts cant get tagged

[hollow jetty]

thanks! :D

Vro was one of the first loafscripters

[brisk hull]

im a og

[night mortar]

I did a script to test the language, not hard to learn how it works

[hollow jetty]

send it here

i want this forum to be a place to share scripts

[night mortar]

ok

I can't record with roblox, maybe a memory issue

so instead here are a before and after images

yeah it prints the variable "ez"

which is a string

then it waits a few seconds

then it creates new variables but with Numbers this time

2 var called "num1" and "num2"

[hollow jetty]

vro

just copy paste here

[night mortar]

then it do some maths and boom

[night mortar]

ok

lazy

[hollow jetty]

son

also cool

ty for playing!

i will be adding if statements and saving scripts soon

[brisk hull]

var Number: maxValue = 10

// loop

print Variable: currentValue

var Number: currentValue = math currentValue + 1
wait Number: 1

execute from line 6```
reposting this

[night mortar]

hello miguel

[night mortar]

nice

[night mortar]

W

[brisk hull]

hi

[hollow jetty]

noice

[night mortar]

print Variable: ez
wait Number: 3
var Number: num1 = 1
var Number: num2 = 2
var Number: Answer = math num1 - num2
print Variable: Answer```

how do I make it copy and pasteable?

[hollow jetty]

put this: ` three times at the start and end

[night mortar]

ok ty

[hollow jetty]

there ya go

[night mortar]

W

[night mortar]

bro this is so cool

gonna make one from yours

[hollow jetty]

make what

[night mortar]

oohhhh I understand the "maxValue"

[hollow jetty]

from whos

oh

[night mortar]

the script from miguel

he made the value "maxValue" when the "if" statement will come

I actually tryed to make his thing to work even if the if statement isn't here yet

but my wifi went down

sadly

yeah nah my thing doesn't work

because execute from line or execute line just skip all the code until the given line

Here is a more complex script I've just made:

var Bool: Bvar1 = true
var Bool: Bvar2 = false

// script itself:

wait Variable: Nvar1
print Variable: Bvar1
wait Variable: Nvar1
var Variable: Bvar1 = Bvar2
print Variable: Bvar1

execute from line 2```

It turns false and then true

in loop

[hollow jetty]

sweet

[night mortar]

you could just do:

print String: true
wait Number: 1
print String: false
execute from line 1

but idk

I changed the script a bit

if you watch

I edited

[night mortar]

here

I changed the place of the var Nvar1 to the first line

just to avoid a reset of the variable just incase (which is useless)

[hollow jetty]

HUGE UPDATE

• replaced New script button in the menu with My scripts
• new menu to see all your scripts and save them and delete them and stuff yayay
• this took so many hours

[night mortar]

BRO TYSM

YES SIRRRRR

[spark wraith]

wowie

[hollow jetty]

yes indeed ❤️

watch the whole vid pls

this took me way too long

[night mortar]

you can't publish yet but wow

[hollow jetty]

publishing will never be possible due to tags

[night mortar]

let me rejoin

[night mortar]

oh ok

[hollow jetty]

when i get to it, ill change the publish button to an export button

itll give you a json to copy paste

and therell also be an import button

[night mortar]

nice

um

I clicked delete button

but I can't remove it

I don't want to delete one of my scripts

or rejoin

you should add a button to delete script

to remove the "page" to delete a cript if you don't want to delete a script.

[hollow jetty]

I made it suffer eternally as revenge for the pain I had to go through for the fucking save script system

[hollow jetty]

dont worry ill add a way to cancel deleting a button

next time dont press it if you wasnt planning to delete something vro

[night mortar]

yay

[night mortar]

yeah, just wanted to see how it looks like

[hollow jetty]

print string: OH_DEAR_GOD_IT_BURNS
print string: AAAAGH
print string: PLEASE_HELP_ME
execute from line 1```

[night mortar]

lol

[night mortar]

YOUR GAME DOESN'T SAVE BRUH BRUH

I SAVED MY SCRIPT BRRUHHHHH

IT DOESN'T SAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

BRBUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBYECZkgq

yeah save button doesn't save

because I had 2 scripts

now I rejoined

and I have 0 script

[forest tapir]

saving is sadly not possible, it would get filtered and be full of hashtags when you rejoin. technically it is still saving, just only temporarly.

[night mortar]

bruh

then there is no point adding a save button for nothing

[forest tapir]

just like, copy the script to a textfile on your computer.
that's basically the same.

[forest tapir]

it does save ||temporarily||

[night mortar]

no because when I rejoined, I didn't saw anything

[forest tapir]

that's where the temporarily part comes in.
it doesn't save to datastore, but instead to the client.

if you leave all your data will be GONE

so just copy the script to a textfile on your computer.

[night mortar]

ok

[hollow jetty]

intentional, datastores will censor it

[rough tendon]

Can you add ifs

[hollow jetty]

Longest LoafScript script ever made so far!

[spark wraith]

the numbers being used on the operations are the numbers at the top

so if you want to do addition for example you just change the numbers you want and set the rest you arent gonna use to 0

same goes for subtraction

now if youre gonna do division or multiplication you set the unused numbers to 1 instead of 0

[hollow jetty]

wowie

[spark wraith]

to execute the operations change the execute line command to the line which the operation is located

[hollow jetty]

so poweredbread, hows it like coding with loafscript for the first time

[spark wraith]

theres already comments for each operation

[hollow jetty]

is the syntax easy to understand

[spark wraith]

theres no numbers for each line so execute line is a bit hard to use

[spark wraith]

i really miss colors :(

[hollow jetty]

me toooo

[hollow jetty]

ill try to add that tomorrow

[hollow jetty]

theres no way to make colors unless i make a completely custom textbox display

which would take so long

which is why i suggested richtext for potatomod

[brisk hull]

oh wait

crazy

wow

Cool! Id?

[hidden sandal]

88

[hollow jetty]

just paste it in loafscript

[hollow jetty]

UPDATE

IF STATEMENTS ARE HEREEEEE!!!!!!!

SYNTAX:

// do stuff
end```

GO HAVE FUN ITS PUBLISHED YAYAYAYAAYYAYAYA

[brisk hull]

@hollow jetty can u compare variables with if?

[hollow jetty]

theres too much stuff that loafscript can do now

we need documentation

[brisk hull]

u should add documentation on the game

as a button

[hollow jetty]

roblox filtering:

[hollow jetty]

btw if any of yall need to know how to nest if statements, ask me, i found a way

yessssss it works

[brisk hull]

var Number: NumberResult = 10 // while we dont have random numbers lets use this

if NumberGambled == NumberResult
print string: You got it!!
print Variable: NumberResult
print Variable: NumberGambled
end

if NumberGambled ~= NumberResult
print string: Awww dang it!
print Variable: NumberResult
print Variable: NumberGambled
end```

@hollow jetty

Try this

Made it on mobile not sure if its working

[hollow jetty]

mobile

[brisk hull]

idk uhhhh

cell phone

phone

[hollow jetty]

vro this does nothing

no prints nothing

it ends instantly

[brisk hull]

does variable if work

[rough tendon]

Oh wait I need variables for everything?

[grizzled plaza]

this is supporting instances properties?

[hollow jetty]

it doess

[rough tendon]

No

[brisk hull]

hmmmm idk whats wrong then

[grizzled plaza]

oh

[hollow jetty]

whats weird is this runs for like 0 seconds

this shit genuinely, like doesnt even show "running"

[brisk hull]

var Number: NumberResult = 10 // while we dont have random numbers lets use this

if NumberGambled == NumberResult
print String: You got it!!
print Variable: NumberResult
print Variable: NumberGambled
end

if NumberGambled ~= NumberResult
print String: Awww dang it!
print Variable: NumberResult
print Variable: NumberGambled
end```

@hollow jetty

[hollow jetty]

it plays the "the code is done" sound immediately

[brisk hull]

try this maybe

[hollow jetty]

same issue

idk if this is ur code or loafscript

[brisk hull]

prob my code

[hollow jetty]

ITS YOUR CODE

YOU FORGOT THE DATA TYPES

FOR BOTH VALUES

IN THE IF STATMENT

[brisk hull]

lol

[brisk hull]

does it work then?

now

[hollow jetty]

well fix it first lmao

here ill fix it for you

var Number: NumberResult = 10 // while we dont have random numbers lets use this

if variable: NumberGambled == variable: NumberResult
print String: You got it!!
print Variable: NumberResult
print Variable: NumberGambled
end

if variable: NumberGambled ~= variable: NumberResult
print String: Awww dang it!
print Variable: NumberResult
print Variable: NumberGambled
end```

@brisk hull

this is the fixed code i think

[wispy galleon]

when tables

[slim zodiac]

Wait this is so cool

[night mortar]

Brother ty for adding IF statement

now PLEEAASASSEEEEEEE add random number thing

RandomNumber (0; 10)

so it takes a random number from 0 to 10 for exemple

.

[flat haven]

Imma try this game soon

Rn I can't

[night mortar]

test it, it's cool

I hope my suggestion will be added

Add Random Number type plsss

like make it like this:
var RandomNumber: randomNumberValue = (0; 10)
and then we can do things like:
print Variable: randomNumberValue
or this:
print RandomNumber: (0; 10)

[brisk hull]

it could be
var Number: numberRandom = math 10; 50

[night mortar]

yeah

"numberRandom" is the variable name of the answer of math 10; 50

cool

my suggestion attracts lol

adding random number will allow much more scripts with IF statement

[hollow jetty]

Thats terrible syntax

"RandomNumber" is not a data type broski

[hollow jetty]

i like this syntax better

[hollow jetty]

also this is very inconsistent with loafscript syntax

[forest tapir]

random [number 1] [number 2]

[hollow jetty]

why does NOBODY understand how loafscript syntax works

I cant put () or [] around things that you change, like the number 1 and number 2

and also that's inconsistent

[forest tapir]

dumbass that's where the fucking numbers go

[hollow jetty]

no square brackets??

[forest tapir]

random 1 2

random -10 10

[hollow jetty]

it looks like 12

also its still inconsistent

why does random exist separately from math

i like miguel's idea

[forest tapir]

readability I guess

[hollow jetty]

already planned

[hollow jetty]

ty

:D

[hollow jetty]

gonna be super hard to add

but sure someday

[slim zodiac]

you should add music playlist

that can turned on or turned down

[hollow jetty]

i was planning to add background music

maybe ill finally get around to it today

[slim zodiac]

[hollow jetty]

we lowk need a wiki page

the "How to write LoafScript" section of this forum post is getting huge

I need to make official documentationnnnn :(

[night mortar]

yes his thing is better

mine was a suggestion

[night mortar]

but that's cool to know that it is already planned

[hollow jetty]

if you scrolled up to old messages you wouldve known someone already suggested random

multiple people asked i think

[night mortar]

ok

I didn't see

[hollow jetty]

the cycle of loafscript is

people ask for something to be added -> i add it -> everyone happy -> people ask for something to be added

as soon as i add one requested feature another feature is asked for

[night mortar]

this is exactly it

[hollow jetty]

😭

[night mortar]

this is called listening to community

and that's cool for us

but if it's too hard for you

[hollow jetty]

i was gonna add if statements anyways lmao

[night mortar]

don't do it

[hollow jetty]

nah im pro coder fr

also math random would be SO easy to add

[night mortar]

ok do it then

[hollow jetty]

its like a break from complicated stuff like if statement and script saving

[night mortar]

please

[hollow jetty]

yup im on it

right after i brush my teeth lowk

[night mortar]

of course you are

[night mortar]

ok

[hollow jetty]

im gonna add play sound rbxassetid://12345678

would be cool

imagine a gamble machine that does a victory sound when you win

[rough tendon]

This is bullshit syntax

[hollow jetty]

will be publishing this update soon 👀

[hollow jetty]

UPDATE

• Added a way to make random numbers with math
  var number: VariableName = math 1 , 10

• Added a way to play sound effects
  play sound rbxassetid://123456789

[night mortar]

nah not this

[night mortar]

ty bro

[hollow jetty]

my very awesome gambling script

print string: Rolling...
var number: RolledNumber = math 1 , 10
wait number: 1

if variable: RolledNumber == number: 1
play sound rbxassetid://115570527328265
print string: You_win
end

if variable: RolledNumber ~= number: 1
play sound rbxassetid://116672405522828
print string: Aw_dang_it!
end

// Super cool gamble machine by lifestar999```

[fathom axle]

what about containers

in order to have any real system you need some way of storing a list

[hollow jetty]

why

i mean

ok

like do you mean like

[fathom axle]

tables

[hollow jetty]

oh

okay

first everyone asks for if statements now tables

i hope ts wont be complicated to make

[fathom axle]

it's like the basic things of a programming language

i dont think you have loops either

[hollow jetty]

i do

execute from line lets you do loops

[fathom axle]

proper loops

[hollow jetty]

:(

fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ill add loop while and for loop

wait hwy do i need loop while

just do

wait number: 1
execute from line 1
end```
with line 1 being the if statement

theres a while loop

boom

it loops as long as number 1 is number 1

[fathom axle]

why dont we just use goto for all our loops

in lua

or c

there's only one language that uses gotos to make loops

and that is assembly

do you want to make assembly

[hollow jetty]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAuhg

[fathom axle]

also what if you want to add a few more lines of code

above that loop

suddenly you have to change every line number below that

[hollow jetty]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[fathom axle]

many languages (assembly included) dont actually use line numbers

one reason is because line numbers dont mean anything when its compiled

the second is for that

they use labels instead

[hollow jetty]

infinite gambling loop

wait number: 1.5

play sound rbxassetid://18796775087
wait number: 1.3
execute from line 4```

[fathom axle]

infinite gambling loop but with no... gambling...

also you're making a system heavily dependent on line numbers

and your code editor doesnt even have line numbers

does execute from line support a variable

[hollow jetty]

ye just sound

[hollow jetty]

ill add that soon

[hollow jetty]

nope

[fathom axle]

why does it not

[hollow jetty]

cuz i couldnt think of any reasons someone would want it

[fathom axle]

subroutines

[hollow jetty]

/??

[fathom axle]

subroutines are basically simplified functions

instead of making a function call

you set a few variables and jump to the subroutine

the subroutine does stuf with the variables and jumps back to the caller

the problem: if execute from line only takes static numbers then you cant jump back

i wanted to make a subroutine and then realized there is no way to return execution

[wispy galleon]

cant you do it with variables?

[fathom axle]

well excecute from line does not take variables

also the stop button appears to not reset the variables

very reliable

[hollow jetty]

it does

i swear it does

[fathom axle]

alright why does it produce different results on different runs

[hollow jetty]

it deletes all variables when you stop AND when you run

[fathom axle]

the first run printed out the correct answer

the subsequent ones print 1 (wrong answer)

[hollow jetty]

i dont know, maybe because it runs so fast

add a wait at the start

[hollow jetty]

like it literally clears the table

ive tested this so long ago

maybe the wait will fix it

[fathom axle]

had to rewrite the code because the scripts dont save

[hollow jetty]

ye, if they did save when you left itd get filtered

[fathom axle]

now it prints nothing

[brisk hull]

loaf u added random numbers?

if yes can i gamlble

yay

[hollow jetty]

whqa

[brisk hull]

oh theres sound effects too cool

[hollow jetty]

is it because its waiting 0

make it wait 1 sec

[brisk hull]

u should add a way to clean the output

like

[hollow jetty]

stop button clears the output

[brisk hull]

clean

[fathom axle]

i removed the wait and made the script the exact same as before

[hollow jetty]

nice idea

[fathom axle]

and now it still doesnt print anything

[hollow jetty]

wtf

WAIT

i know

I KNOW WHY

did you paste the code from notepad?

[fathom axle]

i did not

typed it entirely

[hollow jetty]

wha

paste the code here

[fathom axle]

var number: n = 15
var number: p = 1
if variable: n <= number: 1
execute from line 9
end
var number: p = math p * n
var number: n = math n - 1
execute from line 3
print variable: p

the first iteration of the code included a tab character on line 4 for indentation but it doesnt recognize it

[hollow jetty]

lmao

indentation doesnt exist

in loafscript

[fathom axle]

it appears my output was scrolled down

anyway its now complaining n doesnt exist

[hollow jetty]

lmao

[hollow jetty]

this error happens when the var is nil

[fathom axle]

line 1 defines n to be 15

[hollow jetty]

thats weird

[fathom axle]

i pasted the code i posted above and it also complains line 5 has an invalid function/keyword

alongside n not existing

why does it matter that code was pasted instead of typed or whatever

the same text should give the same result

[hollow jetty]

make sure theres no weird space at the start or end of each line

line 5 is "end", theres no way it doesnt work

[fathom axle]

well doing something resolved the line 5 error

but the line 3 error still stands

printing n does not seem to print anything

[hollow jetty]

gimme ur code

[fathom axle]

i already did

[hollow jetty]

the current ver

[fathom axle]

var number: n = 15
var number: p = 1
print variable: n
if variable: n <= number: 1
execute from line 10
end
var number: p = math p * n
var number: n = math n - 1
execute from line 4
print variable: p
stop

in case you havent figured it out this code calculates the factorial of n (15! = 1307674368000)

[hollow jetty]

whats the point of the stop

its at the end

why

it stops anyways

[fleet skiff]

make so lines have line number next to them like any law abiding programming language would

[fathom axle]

sometimes the code just loops on itself and prints indefinitely

[fleet skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omniman-omniman-invincible-invincible-flaxans-gif-16787665448190347442

[hollow jetty]

i knowwwwwww

[hollow jetty]

weird

you do know how execute from line works right

it keeps going until the end of the script

but it starts from that line

maybe its stacking

[fathom axle]

define stacking

count the lines and line 10 prints p

[hollow jetty]

execute from line 4 is probably executing from line 10 as well

[fathom axle]

this code doesnt print indefinitely if it runs

it just prints once

but another code i have does do that

[hollow jetty]

ye see

this loops

because executing from line 1 will also hit execute from line 3 because it passes it

[fathom axle]

please count the lines

line 10 is print variable: p

[hollow jetty]

but it doesnt print e

because it stops when encountering an execute from line

[fathom axle]

because it errors

[hollow jetty]

which is good to know

ok rq im gonna add line numbers now

ts is annoying me

how should i go about doing this?

[fathom axle]

this code prints indefinitely

or just simply

if number: 4 > number: 5
execute line 3
print string: hello
end
execute line 2

execute line 2 executes execute line 3 which executes line 3 which finishes so execute line 3 finishes so execute line 2 finishes

it should terminate

and yet it does not

[hollow jetty]

what the fuck am i looking at

[fathom axle]

something tells me you did not consider if anyone would use execute line to execute execute line
and so the return line gets overwritten by execute line 3

and so it finishes and goes to line 4 and reaches execute line 2 again

[hollow jetty]

what

[fathom axle]

refer to the simplified code

how execute line should work is that it will return after the line in question finishes executing

[hollow jetty]

alr

[fathom axle]

in the simplified code execute line 2 will return after execute line 3 finishes
and execute line 3 finishes when line 3 finishes

so in total it should only run line 3 once

and yet it runs infinitely

my hypothesis is that you only have a single number to store what line to return to

when execute line 2 is ran it would be 6 (the line after execute line 2)

but when execute line 3 is ran it overwrites that and its now 4

so it jumps to 4, slides to 5 and runs execute line 2 again

[hollow jetty]

i dont

i just make it do the function that runs the code

it executes the line while it keeps going through the code

[fathom axle]

but what if the line it executes is also an execute line

[hollow jetty]

starting to get bored of working on this

should i make it open source

and then just do something else

like a fake computer

thatd be so cool to mak

so fun

i can imagine coding the apps to open in a little window

maybe even add a loafscript app

[fathom axle]

record breaking time from creation to discontinuation

[hollow jetty]

well the only reason i made loafscript was cuz i was bored and wanted to see if a sort of text based coding was possible

it was very very fun

[fathom axle]

i think the problem with this is that if the executed line is also an execute line then it also does the "keeps going through the code" part

also what would execute line -> execute from line do

[hollow jetty]

what would the line numbers be

[fathom axle]

how is execute from line implemented

[hollow jetty]

do you wanna see t

i can make the game uncopylocked lowk

i kinda wanna now

[fathom axle]

in an abstract way

does it set the program counter (current line) to that line

[hollow jetty]

would be cool to let people make their own versions and use it as a basis for better coding languages

[hollow jetty]

Yes

[fathom axle]

the main question would be how execute line works

to see what would happen if an execute line goes into an execute from line

would execute from line override the current line so execute line continues somewhere else

[hollow jetty]

LEAKED code

[brisk hull]

@hollow jetty i will try to make a music maker herw

not sure

if i did it would be a simple loop but it works i guess

[brisk hull]

@hollow jetty can u add so you can use variables to play sounds?

[hollow jetty]

??? why

[brisk hull]

music maker

[hollow jetty]

LoafScript is now uncopylocked!

1163915202_50

Please read the description if you want to copy it

[forest tapir]

im gonna steal it and name it BaconScript and give no credit because Im just that evil.

[brisk hull]

i dont think thats a good idea but yeah

[hollow jetty]

its a good idea trust

[night mortar]

brooooo

does it means that you stop working on it?

is it a troll?

gonna see by myself

[hollow jetty]

yes

im bored of it

i only worked on it for fun

and now im bored

so

fuck it

do your own updates

lmao

[night mortar]

ok

I don't understand anything in your scripts but why not

maybe a day I will decode that for myself

[hollow jetty]

noob coder

[night mortar]

bruh, I actually starter scripting on retrostudio on december

I'm pretty new to scripts

[hollow jetty]

Newgen 🆘

[hollow jetty]

cool

[night mortar]

I still learn what block do what

And I do random stuff

yeah

I hope someone will take your job and work instead of you on this

to replace you

it's sad that it lasts not that much time

[brisk hull]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa noooooooooooooooo

https://klipy.com/gifs/pleading-172--k01KQDT9THBKJ3ZXEW7PK4R25XR

[hollow jetty]

gng

loafscript's code is not that confusing

make your own language or make like loafscript+

idfk

have fun

im gonna make a computer now

in retrostudio

like a fake OS

will be fun

btye

[empty jackal]

now you like the idea???

[rough tendon]

I'm going to make a language in RetroStudio more friendly for scripters

will allow to use tables, math library and more

[rough tendon]

Someday

no 3d stuff

[brisk hull]

rip loaf script

we'll miss you

[hollow jetty]

youd say rip if i privated it

its uncopylocked now

if anything its less dead

plus i had to stop working on it because i have a REAL game to work on in Godot

cant waste time on RetroStudio

[pine fable]

didnt json encoding use to stop filtering or smth

[pine fable]

make strings use "word" instead of just plain text would be bad to work with tbf

[hollow jetty]

what do you mean

[hollow jetty]

oh i see what you mean

no

its not possible

the games uncopylocked go try do it yourself

best youre gonna get is:
print " hello "
and thatll overcomplicate everything

the language already runs slow enough

[pine fable]

ok then how do you use the strings and could you add documentation

use github or add it to a discord channel in the LS discord if you have it

[hollow jetty]

i dont need to change the syntax
print string: hello
IS FINE

[hollow jetty]

No my discord is only for my REAL GAME

not for some lame retrostudio thing

[hollow jetty]

like have you never heard of static typing

its not abnormal

[fathom axle]

static typing is a thing but even in those languages you dont have to specify the type for everything

you only use them to declare variables and functions

[hollow jetty]

alr i know but here its everywhere to make the blockcode less complicated

do you realize how much slower loafscript would run if it had to check for quotes at the start and end and all that detecting stuff

to figure out your stupid little type

this is just the simpler way

thats the design philosophy

no updates

[hollow jetty]

you can literally still make stuff

and also you can make your own updates
