Proposed New OxygenSyntax
OOP is renowned for being clunky & long-winded. But this compact syntax will I hope make objects really easy to build:
Note the single line type definitions and the constructor prototype. Simple methods can also be done on a single line. ![Smile](images/smilies/_smile.gif)
Oxygen source code
type vector single x,y,z
type color single r,g,b,a
class body
vector position,size,orientation,velocity,spin
color ambient,diffuse,specular
single density
method mass() as single {return density * size.x * size.y * size.z}
method constructor ( single* x,y,z) { size=>x,y,z : density=1 }
method destructor () {}
end class
new body rock 1,2,3
'putfile "t.txt", recordof rock
print "mass of rock is " rock.mass
del rock
Internally the structure is flattened out snd the compiler sees it like this:
