btw error handling sucks right now so expect it to spew Python code on a line you didn't make
wait till v4.00 that update will focus primarily on errors

Keylang is a simple, game oriented programming language that puts emphasis on built in functions and KEYwords.

It uses a preprocessor with Python (specifically PyPy)
It can also embed Lua :D (specifically LuaJIT)

If you’re coming from Python:

If not -> Get Started

def is replaced with func for simplicity
: is replaced with opening ‘{‘ and closing ‘}’
() is optional for functions that don’t have arguments. However, calling them you still use () haha
Tabs and spaces are optional. Put them anyways they’re helpful
Variables are defined using the var keyword
's is an alias for the . accessor for better grammar, it may have a few bugs though
Yep you know Keylang now (ish)

If you’re coming from Lua:

Setting up (Windows only until v4.0.0)

1. Download

2. Extract files

Right click on the zip folder and press "Extract All..." or something else if you're not on Windows idk

3. Run the batch file called keylang.bat

Open keylang-x.x.x -> keylang_files -> runner
Right click keylang.bat and press "Run as administrator"
It does cool stuff and sets up your .kl files

4. You're basically done

Preview of valid Keylang

Helpful new functions and KEYwords:

Variable keywords	What it does
var	Defines a variable
array()	Creates a LIST not array
dict()	Creates a dictionary
the_array_name[index]	Access one of an LIST’s value
dictionary_array_name[key]	Access one of a dictionaries value
random(n, n)	Picks one of the numbers provided
random_range(from, to)	Picks one of the numbers in the range of the numbers provided
keyword	Makes a custom keyword that compiles into the EXACT code it was assigned

Loop functions	What it does
loop(n) {}	Loops the code in the block an amount of times
loop {}	Infinite loop
looprate	Gets the rate of the last time it was called. Still may be buggy but should work for now
once {}	Won’t repeat code in the block after running it once

Wait functions	What it does
wait() Variants: wait~async() - Async version wait~until() - Waits until a condition is met wait~thread() {} - Waits to run the code in the block without blocking	Waits an amount of time

Background functions	What it does
spawn func_name()	Calls a function… but it runs in the background
when Variants: when~once - Stops checking after true once	Runs the code in the block WHEN an event occurs (non blocking)
when() Variants: when~once() - Stops checking after true once	Same thing as when, but the number in the parentheses state how frequent it checks

print keywords	What it does
print_vars	Prints all variables and their values
print_nones	Prints all variables with a value of None
print_all	Prints a LOT of stuff basically
print_python	Prints the unpreprocessed Python

Miscellaneous	What it does
's	Keyword alias of the . accessor, useful when you're fed up with . and want good grammar
embed_lua {}	Runs Lua code
python {}	Runs Python code
private func_name()	Alias of 2 underscores (name mangling)
protected func_name()	Alias of 1 underscore (useless)
if key() {}	Runs the code inside the block if the key inside the parentheses was pressed
do	Alias of {
end	Alias of }

Some shortcuts you should know when using the editor:

Shortcut	What it does
Ctrl K or Ctrl /	Comment out or uncomment out
Ctrl Shift K or Ctrl Shift /	Uncomment out
Ctrl F	Find
Ctrl D	Select word
Ctrl Shift D	Duplicate line
Alt ↑ / Alt ↓	Move line up or down
Ctrl L	Select line
Tab and Shift+Tab	Indent or unindent selection

Keylang!!!

This key lime pie is almost perfectly baked :| ↓
