PlaywrightLang - a scripting language for theatre kids

Playwright is a work-in-progress A Level EPQ project. Updates are frequent, but don't expect too much!

Goals:

1: Create an embeddable scripting language (in the same vein as Lua)

2: Showcase it in a game context

3: Have its syntax be as human-readable and close to a real play script as possible

Features:

• Close integration with C#
  • Class members in C# can be annotated with PwItemAttribute to register them with the given name inside of Playwright.
  • These classes can be registered as types by the state as long as they inherit from PwObjectClass
• First-class functions
• Dynamic types

Notable flaws:

• Extremely slow due to the tree-walking implementation
  • Version 2, which will be a bytecode interpreter, is planned to solve this.
• Limited type system
  • Only one numeric type (may change in future)
  • Automatic conversions are not supported.
