Datatype declaration
Definition
Type <name>
- <variables>
End
Creates a new datatype. It's handled as if it were a struct, so the declared variables are members of the struct.
While it's a convention to use a '_' as first character in the name of a datatype, it's not mandatory.
When used as an argument in a function or process, the parameter is not a copy, but the variable itself, as shown in the first example, and any change made to the parameter is also changed in the argument.
Example
A file with name and path. Note that the assignment myFile2 = myFile;
makes a copy of myFile and throws it into myFile2, which is normal. But when it's used as an argument in a function, the parameter is not a copy but the _file itself.
Type _file String path; String name; End Process Main() Private _file myFile; _file myFile2; Begin myFile.path = "C:\"; myFile.name = "autoexec.bat"; say("1: " + myFile.path + myFile.name); myFile2 = myFile; myFile2.name = "config"; say("1: " + myFile.path + myFile.name); say("2: " + myFile2.path + myFile2.name); setName(myFile,"pagefile"); say("1: " + myFile.path + myFile.name); Repeat frame; Until(key(_ESC)) End Function setName(_file f, string name) Begin f.name = name; End
A point with x and y.
// Declare the type _point Type _point float x; float y; End // Declare the function distance(), because the function returns a datatype // other than int, so it needs to be declared before usage. Declare float distance(_point a,_point b) End Process Main() Private _point p1,p2; Begin p1.x = 15.3; p1.y = 34.9; p2.x = 165.4; p2.y = 137.2; write(0,0,0,0,"Distance: " + distance(p1,p2)); drw_line(p1,p2); Repeat frame; Until(key(_ESC)) End Function float distance(_point a, _point b) Begin return sqrt( (a.x-b.x)*(a.x-b.x) + (a.y-b.y)*(a.y-b.y) ); End Function int drw_line(_point a, _point b) Begin return draw_line( a.x , a.y , b.x , b.y ); End
Used in example: write(), key(), draw_line()
This will result in something like:

ProcessType
Definition
Type <processname>
Acquires the processTypeID of a processType or function. This can be useful for example with the functions get_id() and signal().
Example
Program example; Private proc proc_id; //int could be used too Begin // Start 2 proc's proc(); proc(); proc(); // Display all alive proc's y = 0; while( (proc_id=get_id(type proc)) ) write(0,0,(y++)*10,0,"proc: " + proc_id); end // Wait for key ESC Repeat frame; Until(key(_ESC)) End Process proc() Begin Loop frame; End End
Used in example: write(), key()
This will result in something like:
