MindustryCompiler

a langage that compile to mindustry asm code,

What's mindustry asm ? Here is a nice starting guide with in game screenshots: How To Use Procesors in 6.0

The language created here is a superset of mindustry code

here's the website to show features in actions and compile your code

features

• all mindustry asm code are valide as it

• jump to a reference:

  ...
  jump bottom always true true  <--- jump to #ref bottom
  ...
  #ref bottom  <--- set ref anywhere
  ...
  

• comments:

  // this is a comment
  
  #ref loop // another comment after some blank lines
  

• improve jump conition:

  jump loop  // <--- jump loop always true true
  jump inf 2 < 4  // <--- jump inf lowerThan 2 4
  
  // ==, ===, !=, >, >=, <, <=, ---> equal, notEqual, greaterThan, ...
  

You could check files here to see the difference from the same programme that compile to the same mindustry asm

• if else, else if condition:

  if 2 < 4
      print "2 < 4"
  else if 2 == 1
      print "2 == 1"
  
  elif 2 === 2  // "elif" is equivalent to "else if"
      print "2 === 2"
  
  else
      print "else"
  

• function:

  add(a, b)
      add result a b
      return result
  
  x = 0
  x = add(x, 2)
  

• module:

  import time
  
  time.wait(2)  // wait 2 secondes
  

• static for loop:

  import msg
  
  set message message1
  
  for x, y in [(1, 2), (4, 3)]
      if x > y
          print "x : "
          print x
          print " higher than: "
          msg.printAndWait(y, message)
  

• look files here for some code exemple that I use

coming soon

• afectation a = 1 and simple operation +, -, /, *, ...

• operation += -=

• improve if, if var, if not var, and / or

• fill empty args of ASM lines (ucontrol itemDrop store 800 0 0 0 -> ucontrol itemDrop store 800)

current usage

• compile a file :

  mindc fileName
  

  exemple, in this folder:

  mindc tests/identicalCode/4-improveJump.code
  

• get the result in clipboard to just past it in mindustry :

  mindc tests/identicalCode/4-improveJump.code --ctrlC
  

• run interactive to play with it :

  mindc --interactive
  

Installation

you need python to run this software

• check that you have it

  type in your shell/terminal :

  python3 --version
  

  must give you something like: Python 3._._

• if you don't have it, install it :

  you could dowload python from here

install mindustry compiler

python3 -m pip install MindustryCompiler

run it

mindc
