I think my open sauce is cute and i hope people make funny faces while looking at it

Thank you for trying the game ^_^

Hello again my iguana friend

dang i didnt know sylvie also made her own scripting language that is sick.

I wouldn't even know where to begin in creating a DSL.  Making me feel inadequate over here ducko.

tbf this is what i was in grad school for so i ought to be good at it. it's not really very marketable either, am currently looking for a cs job (in a specific region) and uhhh not a lot of places are looking for that specific skillset.

Good job.

Also can you post the source? I'm really curious what your abstractions over typescript are! I'm also interested in this lexer.js file??!?! And the wmap.png is cool!!!!!!

Yeeeee, the source for this game is on github here - https://github.com/dcco/save_spark . To be honest, the abstraction is really just an entirely different language, which I compile into Javascript and then run using eval :U  The lexer is defined in oth_lite/_flex/ts.jacoblex and compiled using something called "jacoblex". The parse is defined in oth_lite/src/z/parse/parser.ts tho, and I think you can get a better feel for what the syntax is like by looking at the types there.

wmap.png was my jank way of avoiding having to actually find a level editor - all the level data in the game is read from that and emap.png + emap2.png . was definitely starting to run out of usable colors tho lmao.

i think maybe the only thing that bugged me was

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the little flame enemies that bounce around forever. when you boomerang them, they make a sound like the other enemies that indicates theyre taking damage, but i dont think they are!
