BOSL is a Blueprint Oriented Scripting Language, designed for java games.
its still in early development.
the idea behind it is that you can program functionality into game objects.
so the Blueprint File -> becomes a Blueprint -> the 'shell' object gets asigned to the Blueprint = MAGIC!
the 'shell' object is basicly just a object with no functionality else than being able to get functionality asign to it through a blueprint.

What does it look like?
well for the first 'generation' im focusing on it getting to work.
so i'll save the syntactic sugar for later
but it look something like this:

Code:

setField myGlobalVariable "hello world!"
useWorld myWorld

World MyWorld
disableEL Tick
onEvent Init
print myGlobalVariable
add 5 7
addString "5 + 7 = " pop
print(pop)
end
end

really simple(kindy )
its also semi stack based(there is no return value or user defined method arguments, you use the stack for that)

What I've Done So Far:
- added stack commands
- added print command
- added variable definition and declaration(only global so far)
- added comments
- added basic math commands(add,sub,mul,div,mod,pow)
- added objects and classes

hello i do have a little dilemma:
if you want to do math with a variable and store the result in the used variable it looks like this:

Code:

add myNumber 10 // push(myNumber + 10)
setField myNumber pop // myNumber = pop()

now that kinda sucks to pop the value back in to the variable.
but if i add a 'destination' argument(optinal) i well lose the 'multi add' feature:

Code:

add 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 // push(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8)

so should i make variable math easier or keep the 'multi add' feature?

methinks keep multiadd
