LANGUAGE FEATURES



SYNTAX

Squirrel uses a C-like syntax

Factorial in Squirrel:

function factorial(x)
{
if (x == 0) {
return 1;
}
else {
  • factorial(x-1);

    • }

}

Random numbers using generators:

function gen_random(max) {
local last=42
local IM = 139968;
local IA = 3877;
local IC = 29573;
for(;;) { //loops forever
  • (last = (last --- IA + IC) % IM) / IM);

    • }

}

local randtor = gen_random(100);

for(local i = 0; i < 10; i += 1)
print(">"+resume randtor+"
");

classes and inheritance:

class BaseVector {
constructor(...)
{
if(vargc >= 3) {
x = vargv {Link without Title} ;
y = vargv {Link without Title} ;
z = vargv {Link without Title} ;
}
}


x = 0;
y = 0;
z = 0;
}

class Vector3 extends BaseVector {
function _add(other)
{
if(other instanceof this.getclass())
return ::Vector3(x+other.x,y+other.y,z+other.z);
else
throw "wrong parameter";
}
function Print()
{
::print(x+","+y+","+z+"
");
}
}

local v0 = Vector3(1,2,3)
local v1 = Vector3(11,12,13)
local v2 = v0 + v1;
v2.Print();



HISTORY

The language was made public in 2003 under zlib/libpng licence is developed and maintained by Alberto Demichelis .
