Join For FreeThe version 0.1.1 of EDDI is now available.
This new version introduce the feature to put variable on the code. You can now write things like that :
a = "Variable a"; b = "Variable b"; Print(a); Print(b);
And you can also reassign value to a variable and assign the value of a variable to another :
a = b; b = "New variable b";
Nothing extraordinary, but it’s a start. The variable name are compiled into integers and a table of variable has been made on the virtual machine.
The last step will be to
introduce a new type : the integers. But for this integration, I’m not
exactly sure on how to do that. I will certainly create a string pool
and put only references to the strings on the stack, but it’s not
clearly defined. Don’t hesitate if you have any comment
