/prog/ - Learning symta

Name: Anonymous 2013-03-10 23:12

I'm trying to learn symta by reading the WCII implementation but the syntax is nonsensical and unintuitive.

Try reading



doEffect U

 = A:U.with = T:A.dst = D:Units,T = N:A.effect

 = {N |a D,targetable?

     = E:U.damage

     = N,<\hit = !E+A.damage = {U.effects.bloodlust,pos? = !E*2}

         ;[\heal X] = !N:\hit

                    = {MC:A.uCost.mana

                         = S:X,sign = V:X*S = H:{S≤0=D.hp-D.hits; D.hits}

                         = X:(H+V-1)%V = C: min U.mana+MC MC*X = V:(C+MC)%MC*V*S

                         = !U.mana+(MC-C) = !E:[0 ~V-1]

                      ;√ = !E:[0 ~X-1]}

         ;[A B] = !N:A = !E:B>

     = M: u A dst:D.id src:U.id qualia:N effect:E ttl:A.cycles

     = S:{A.shards;1} = MS:16M.size = DC:D,centerDisp = WH:A.area = O:A.offset

     = rng S | e <I = Dst:{WH = WH|m:X randRng ~X X | 32?+DC

                          ;√ = DC}

                    = Src:O,<n = U,centerDisp

                            ;\circle = X:I*2PI/S = !M.angle:X = angled D 32 X

                            ;O = Dst+O>

                    = spawnMissile M U.owner Src-MS Dst-MS Sound:I≤1 Delay:S,rand>}

 = U

without a syntax highlighting and making sense of it.

Also, am I to understand that symta files cannot be ASCII encoded because of a couple of Unicode characters Nikita wanted to use in the language?

You need to apply APL syntax highlighting to it.

Is there a download link for symta? The blogspot link is dead.

That is a very old version. The language has completely changed since then to use message-passing style with no global variables.

New Symta with macros may look like:
| int N: 100 | int I: 0 | while (I lt N) ( | say doing I | if (I mod 2 ;eq 0) say I is even | !I+1 )

so that C/C++ code could be directly translated. This should save time stealing open source code for the Symtera OS project, because from the beginning I had building-an-OS as the main goal.

Although I do prefer shorter syntax, like <I mod 2 ;eq 0 = say I is even> in place of (if (I mod 2 ;eq 0) say I is even)

While Nikita is an idiot with his political believes, he actually produced a language, which has a real world application and seems to have some interesting properties.

I would like to see some documentation, maybe Nikita could focus less on his crusade and more on documenting what he had done. A positive side-effect of this would be that he stop spamming shalom hymnie or other bullshit. I don't mind it that much, but it clutters up threads.

Functions are global variables.

Did Nikita hard code each effect in the effect function?

No. But they require calling eval at runtime for every effect file.
