Yes, that's right. My parser gets to be released for an alpha alpha, because I need data from various tests.

Basically, it's a console window. It'll walk you through what to do.

The requirement is that you have notepad in your system32 folder, or somewhere Windows can find it quickly.

Download it here.

Old one for historical reasons.

Please hammer it with all sorts of code, and do not hesitate at all to report anything questionable. Especially the syntax checker.

I worked a couple weeks on that checker, as I underestimated the challenge it'd present.

However, being coded by a human, it should hopefully prove specific enough to have been worth my time.

So yeah. It displays all the info you'll need on it at startup.

So I'll copy it here to take up words.

In summary, it's just a syntax check and parse.

Tell me if it even looks upsetting to you, though two things to keep in mind are that var[1,2] becomes var(1,2), and that lol.blah becomes int2obj(lol)->blah.

Questionable syntax includes C++ mixes, though casts and names should work. Please don't avoid it just because it seems to be a sore spot.

The point of this test is to be 100% positive there's nothing big I'm missing before the ENIGMA Alpha, R3.

Also in R3, you'll find a way to override some more restrictive GM syntax by switching to C++, though EDL offers most features of C++ anyway. This feature does not come with this alpha, but rest assured it will be in R3.

So, if you intend to compile a game, why don't you run all its code by this parser for me? It'll help us both be sure it'll work in R3, so long as the code to back it up holds. ;)

Thanks much,

Josh
