Prologue

What is ObjectOrientedScripting (OOS)?

OOS is a new script language that will be translated to native SQF meaning that it is 100% compatible with SQF.

It makes it possible to develop modifications in an ObjectOriented way (thats why it is callen ObjectOrientedScripting ... ok i admit ... that was too obvious :P)

Why would we want to stop using SQF?

well ... its a quite complex thematic where most of it is personal choice thus i cant rly help you with this questions

there is just one thing i can tell you:

ObjectOriented Programming (in this case Scripting) has the benefit that youre (in theory) faster in developing scripts

for some comparison, please read this: http://vbsoftwaredeveloper.blogspot.de/2012/05/procedual-programming-vs-object.html

How does it look like?

more or less like so (begging for a better example here, so if you just learned how to write in OOS please provide a better one due to the fact that im a horrible example provider as author of the lang):

namespace X39

    namespace testNamespace
    {
        class cFoo
        {
            public void foobar(string _someRandomArg)

I want to try it! So where is the link?

Just scroll a lil further and you will see the download section, from there just download the setup.exe and execute the Wrapper.exe application using the command line.

A good thing to start with would be to use the -help param to check the available param list of your Wrapper.exe

Never trusted executables out of unknown sources ... any way to get the source so i can compile it by myself?

Yes you can! The Entire project is OpenSource and thus anybody can contribute to the developement.

What you need is a simple installation of VisualStudio and youre good to go (if you got further questions please either ask here or create a new ticket in the github repository)

Hi,

As someone who is looking to get into programming scripting this sounds like a great opportunity. Currently I have good HTML and CSS knowledge but a lot of motivation.I also do understand languages like js and php I'm just no good at them. Can I help you because this sounds like a great project with good intentions and I am very keen to help you?

i appreciate every help i can get :P

just try to get into the code and finish a few of those dozend open tasks its "just string handling" so nothing rly hard (tbh ... string handling can be one of the most hardest shit in the universe)

feel free to add me in steam or skype if you got questions in regards of the code

greets

Alright will do. I'll get back to you when I can do those tasks then I'll look into more complicated things. Would you recommend C++ or C#? Can you recommend any tutorials?(video or writing doesn't bother me).

the tool itself is written in c# thus for this project i would recommend c# (which is in general a better language to start with then c++ due to the fact that c# leaves out a lot of the pointer arithmetic and is "truely" object oriented unlike c++)

Some info update:

threw out pretty much the entire handmade parsing and replacing it by coco/r ...

should make parsing way faster (and sooner done)

for this i am also rewriting the entire EBNF file

COMPILER OOS
CHARACTERS
 DIGIT = "0123456789".

   UDOUBLE = INTEGER '.' INTEGER.
   INTEGER = ['-' | '+'] UINTEGER.
   DOUBLE = ['-' | '+'] UDOUBLE.

   BOOL = 'true' | 'false'.
   VALUE = SCALAR | ARRAY | BOOL;
   ARRAY = '[' VALUE | ']'

thanks but funny that you released V0.3.0-ALPHA before i could :P (you got the version number wrong ^^)

here it comes btw:

Release 0.3.0-ALPHA

https://github.com/X39/ObjectOrientedScripting/releases/tag/v0.3.0-ALPHA

Version 0.3.0-ALPHA
   |- Compiler: changed block native code from:
   |                native <instructions> endnative
   |            to:
   |                startnative <instructions> endnative
   |- Compiler: Added "native(<instructions>)" specially for expressions
   |            (will be merged at some point with the block native again)
   |- Compiler: Added SQF Call instruction:
   |                SQF [ (<arg1>, <argN>) ] <instruction> [ (<arg1>, <argN>) ]
   |- Compiler: Added missing detection for
   |            unsigned integer/double values in VALUE
   |- Compiler: Added missing detection for
   |            >, >=, <, <= operations in EXPRESSION
   |- Compiler: Added missing LOCALVARIABLE alternative for FORLOOP
   |- Compiler: Fixed FORLOOP
   |- Compiler: PrettyPrint sqf output improved

with a new kind of instruction to call SQF commands:

SQF [ (<arg1>, <arg2>, <argN>) ] <instruction> [ (<arg1>, <arg2>, <argN>) ]

and a change to the native command (now needs "startnative [...] endnative" or "native(...)" inside of expressions)

also, we reached a point where you can start using the project "productive" (not recommended but you could do thought, there still should be plenty of bugs)

Opa, interesting. I'm new to ObjectOrientedScripting, could someone please bring a comparison between this and .sqf.

here you can see how it looks like in OOS:

https://github.com/X39/ObjectOrientedScripting/tree/master/TestProject

for the SQF translation, please use the compiler :P

the output structure looks like so:

(just that the config.cpp file is missing in that image)

Yep, sometimes I am to quick for my own good :D

I have fixed the Armaholic mirror with the proper 0.3.0 alpha version.

you should look at this place, a tech already exists to build sqf++ without external content (since 2013)

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?167980-Object-Oriented-SQF-Scripting-and-Compiling

That project seems to be going for something very different. While the example you linked is technically implementing OO features into SQF, it's severely limited in the fact that it's based solely on the weak preprocessor system of SQF. Since the preprocessor is incredibly simple this means that the 'compilation' is essentially just a series of syntax transforms. It's insane that somebody managed to actually pull it off but it won't help with issues like static analysis (type checking?) or optimization.

hi :)

Another breaking the wheel :)

so much good energy spend on tech that are used by nobody make me feel sick.

There is also the carma project

but all of them share one thing in common

They extend sqf

Oos reforms sqf by providing a new language

It s nice that you believe in your project. There is a many coding langage since years that happens in global range (out of arma). But after all, must of them, don't really make a difference versus main stream langage as C# or java did.

A langage is a langage, and the main reason to use it, is the way to achieve a goal. In A3, the OO langage should be a feature since a while (for technical reason cause we use objects and simple type variablen and could be a salvation for the script engine), but BIS certainly for compatibility reason, and community reason didn't do it. The sqf is currently in the same way of what was PHP3.

Hope your project will be a success , and i will follow your thread to look how things happen :)

for what i hope: more people join the project

its open source thus everybody can contribute so that the lang. growth with time to something even more better then now

Help Wanted

OOS currently has quite some big task going on that brings type safety into OOS to remove the currently quite significant performance overhead

so i please you to help developing the EBNF and judging it so that it improoves and gets to the best EBNF possible

This looks like it has a good bit of potential. It reminds me of when I first began scripting for ArmA and you spent over an hour explaining to me that SQF has absolutely no qualities of an OOP language. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can cook up with this tomorrow. 

 

the tool itself is written in c# thus for this project i would recommend c# (which is in general a better language to start with then c++ due to the fact that c# leaves out a lot of the pointer arithmetic and is "truely" object oriented unlike c++)

 

Not to derail the thread or anything, but I do not necessarily agree that C sharp is a better language to begin programming in (at least not for OOP). Not that C# isn't a wonderful language, but it makes certain things too easy to understand (such as pointer arithmetic). Understanding pointers and memory management is a key computer science concept and it shouldn't be simply omitted out of ease. Not every language you will work with in the future is going to handle things like your garbage collection for you. I'm probably making a death wish by saying this, but Java is probably the best OOP language for a beginner to learn. Only because C++ relies far more on abstraction than Java and it only creates learning curves down the road. Also, could you clarify what makes C++ an untrue OOP language? Last time I checked it meets all four characteristics of one.

C++ is more or less like this project

it does has the concepts in but the end result is not created with objects in mind and everything is fiddled around the non-objectoriented environment

it is just "a better c" with object oriented stuff in it

whilst java (as example) does do that stuff

BTW. right now there is a bug in the OOS project which causes naming of object functions to be wrong in the config.cpp

will be fixed till monday i think
