So legitimately accidentally started building a compiler... Don't ask how because I don't know...

(No it's not a 'true' compiler that will create executables, it just a compiler to make some data easier for my runtime to read it)

    So lexical scanner, parser... hows it going? Are you using lex and yacc or are you rolling your own? Rob Pike has a fun talk on lexical scanning in Go.

    @xzvf ah... Feck haha, didn't know there was an actual term for it...

    @crhntr it's a passer mostly but takes my proprietary data formats and converts to a sort of json structure that my engines runtime can read without having to lex and parse everything at run or load in...

    Building it in C# and a port to GML seeing I'm using GameMaker as the engine but the most dedicated version is the C# :-3
