LF2 GM Progress Thread

[A-Man]

I liked that syntax! Would be really legit if you can have "if" and "for" looping in the frames! As for the functions, I have no idea how stuff works for GM, but try looking into Named Parameters. Here is an example of that with Python:

Code:

def itr( **args):
    if args.has_key( "x:" ):
        assignto_x(args["x:"])
    else:
        assignto_x(defaultxvalue)
    if args.has_key( "y:" ):
        assignto_y(args["y:"])
    else:
        assignto_y(defaultyvalue)
    if args.has_key( "w:" ):
        assignto_w(args["w:"])
    else:
        assignto_w(defaultwvalue)
    if args.has_key( "h:" ):
        assignto_h(args["h:"])
    else:
        assignto_h(defaulthvalue)
    return

then you can do:

Code:

itr(y=10, x=3, w=30, h=20)

That will not only make it more flexible for coders to give the paras in any order, but will also allow them to leave out the unnecessary tags as well. In your case, the coder will have to fill everything and with order; which won't be very efficient when you come to add your own tags.
Edit: No one line code tag O:
