Introduction
Welcome to the third part of this series of articles
about what should be recognized as one of the most
important pieces of game programming: the addition
of a simple scripting lanugage. In this part the
focus will be on the implementation of control
structures into your language. They will all be
coded as regular commands, written in the same
way as you would implement any other custom commands
for your language. A reminder that, as usual,
the actual implementation of all of these things
was done to maintain the ability to be understood
by you people easily. Therefore, I admittedly
have made the functions somewhat 'klunky' and not
necessarily the best they can be. A bigger
explanation of what can be done about this is in
the conclusion... But, remember, these examples
are designed to be learned from, not copied,
because they will not work very well in practical
uses.
But, anyways, enough chatter, let's
get on with it!!
