GMLux

A GMLux to GML transpiler that adds support for lightweight objects in the form of arrays

GMLux Language

GMLux stands for GameMaker L(anguage)uxury, where the luxury is the ability to use lightweight objects in GM!

Example:

#define main
object oPlayer = {
    x: 32,
    y: 32,
    speed: 8
};

#define step
if (keyboard_check(vk_left) == true) {
    oPlayer.x -= oPlayer.speed;
} else if (keyboard_check(vk_right) == true) {
    oPlayer.x += oPlayer.speed;
}

if (keyboard_check(vk_up) == true) {
    oPlayer.y -= oPlayer.speed;
} else if (keyboard_check(vk_down) == true) {
    oPlayer.y += oPlayer.speed;
}

#define draw
draw_rectangle(oPlayer.x - 8, oPlayer.y - 8, oPlayer.x + 8, oPlayer.y + 8, false);

transpiles into:

#define main
/*GMLuxCreate*/ oPlayer = [/*x*/32, /*y*/32, /*speed*/8];

#define step
if (keyboard_check(vk_left) == true) {
    oPlayer[/*x*/0] -= oPlayer[/*speed*/2];
} else if (keyboard_check(vk_right) == true) {
    oPlayer[/*x*/0] += oPlayer[/*speed*/2];
}

if (keyboard_check(vk_up) == true) {
    oPlayer[/*y*/1] -= oPlayer[/*speed*/2];
} else if (keyboard_check(vk_down) == true) {
    oPlayer[/*y*/1] += oPlayer[/*speed*/2];
}

#define draw
draw_rectangle(oPlayer[/*x*/0] - 8, oPlayer[/*y*/1] - 8, oPlayer[/*x*/0] + 8, oPlayer[/*y*/1] + 8, false);
