Scriptile development thread

I'm curious about the guts of the tool itself. What language is it developed in? Is there a GitHub repo or something to look at?

Either way, the actual core is rather small and is mainly about the parsers and the way editors and units are initialized. By far the biggest part of the source is the actual effects. So, imagine you have a 2d array, how would you fill that with a rect, a line, a circle, a gradient? How would you rotate that unit, how would you fill it with noise? As pointed out by the LEGO bricks reference: the basics are really simple, anyone can do that.

There are only few somewhat larger functions, usually these are commands that have several sub methods within a large switch statement. Most commands are just a few lines of code, really.

Killing some time during tv for an hour.... add code, add music, done!

Does it work on Linux using Wine?

It opens on Wine after I installed the 32bit mesa-dri drivers on Fedora, but it is unstable and crashes frequently. I couldn't get past TXT import every time.
