Rated H for Hats

Also we all get new features.

I don't think the devs are up to redo all their years of work.

Of course. But GML is horrible

minus beta testing, map making, tweaks, bugfixes and fapping, it wouldn't take more than a week.

Why is gml so horrible? It's easy to understand, almost as reading a normal text.

Sure, so are other languages.

But its scoping is silly, it doesn't have integers, the Game Maker runtime is dubm, and it has horrible string manipulation

[Vindicator]

I guess it depends where we would like to go with it.

I feel like Java would be our best bet, since we can easily port it to other platforms, but C++ probably has good points.

[AcidLead]

I'll get right on this

it might take me 15 years though

C#. Or Python. Or Java. Or Ruby or Lua or something. But NOT C++. No.

You can't just ask everyone to PLZ REWRITE GAME TO BE BETTER, KTHXBAI, most of the developers have lives of their own and development is compulsive

What's wrong with a C++ port?

I'm not asking. I want to do it, meh.

What's wrong with a C++ port? Too much work, horrible language.

If we used something like Python, it is very flexible and would, for example, let us create a "with" statement to replace that in GML.

[NAGN]

You're thinking with too direct of a port, we don't need to create specific functions to mirror the convenience of GML.

You're welcome to try, you don't need permission, if you get a good project going, other people may be able to hop on board and help

I know I don't need to create GML analogous functions. But it might help.

Yeah, I'll probably try when I get home from school (lol)

[NAGN]

Most people on the development team (read: not me) have experience in other programming languages, as for the community---


That does sound interesting and useful, don't know a thing about python syntax though
