MDSCode

A compiler from simple code to mindustry code

Disclaimer

This project is still in development and far from finished. So if you really need all the functionallity of mindustry this won't cut it yet.

Getting started

The file extension of code files should be '.mdsc' (short for mindustry code)

Each line should end with a ; (Comming in languages as Java, JS, CSS, C, C# and the list goes on)

from // and further the line is a comment so everything after // to the end of the line is ignored

Defining

At the top of your script define all the blocks for easy acces and changing in the future:

%DEFINE msg_block = message1;
%DEFINE memory = cell1;
%DEFINE core = nucleus1;

Variables

Variable setting is very straight forward.

var = 1;
one_plus_two = 1 + 2;

!! Warning. Please don't use variables starting with mdsc_ those are reserved for the compiler.

Print

Printing is a function of the "class" msg_block.

msg_block.print("print_value");
// prints (and flushes) the value to message1

Memory

Writing and reading is also a function of a memory "class".

Write

memory.write(100, 0); // write the value 100 to location 0

Read

memory.read(0); // read the value at position 0

Sensor

You can get information of any block as if it is a variable of the class.

amount_of_copper_in_nucleus = core.copper;
nucleus_item_cap = core.itemCapacity;

Defining custom functions

Comming soon

If statements

Comming soon

Native Mindustry code

If you for some reason especially need to write in standard mindustry code you can by calling the exec function.

exec("set x 10"); // will set the variable x to the value 10

Roadmap

If I have enough motivation this will be the order in which I will add functionality. If I don't have enough motivation this project will prob come to a halt, before the all the items have been added.
