But how do you make a scripting language?
OMG wow you looked so hard.

At the top of the page on google its not hard to miss

this page doesn't really contain anything, but it does have a link to this article which is pretty good. its about how to make a language using javacc, which is a parser generator. it has a good overview about what you need to do to create a language. while its specific to java and javacc, you don't need to be familiar with either to understand most of the article.

don't bother reading this article. it doesn't explain what you need to do to create a language, it explains one specific way of creating a language. many of the points are stupid, wrong, or obvious.

Yes but if this guy is to lazy to even look on google i'm not going to waste my time so i thought i would just give him the two top links that google gives me.

LilMain did say that he searched google but it seems not hard enough if he can't look up the top of the page.

if you have a question and you're looking for an answer, but you only find wrong answers, you could say that you found nothing. its a figure of speech. its assumed that you were looking for correct answers. under that assumption, to say that you found nothing would mean that you found no correct answers.

lilmain most likely found something from his google searches, but he didn't find anything helpful. its very likely that he came across those two pages that you linked, but since they weren't helpful he still had found "nothing".

I actually looked at those pages, just like what that otehr guy said, it was a waste too read.. So I actually did look..

A few years ago I was also interested in the same thing. Fortunately at that time a good website called flipcode was up and running and I found my answers there. The website has been taken down since then, but the links to their articles are still good.

That's part 1 of their Scripting Engine series. I personally think it's a lot of work to implement your own scripting language. After working with a functional programming language called OCaml and making a small interpreter, I've been cured of that desire haha. Of course..., functional programming languages may one day rule the world, I just hope it's not any time soon. Anyways, enough of my ranting and I hope you have good success!

I thought you made your own game engine, why are you having trouble with scripting?

It's not very hard at all. I'm currently in the process of making my own in DM.

Yeah, but a rendering engine isn't really a simple task.

Nope, not very simple, but it's the first system I wanted too work on.. Just didn't finish the other systems.. I'll do it later.. It's a lot of work.
