A huge extension to microscript, bringing some common (and some not-so-common) helper functions and variables, plus lots of interesting classes! https://microstudio.dev/i/JmeJuniper/msplus/

Changelog:

v2.1

3/31/2023

New

  • Functions
    • updmsplus()

Updated

  • Functions
    • map2d
      • Now uses low-high values, like the regular map function, instead of defining a center and a size.
  • Classes
    • vec
      • added .normalize()

Renamed

  • Functions
    • roundPlace -> roundTo
    • rgbStr -> rgb
    • rgbaStr -> rgba
    • dist2d -> dist
    • dirTo -> dir
  • Classes
    • vec2d -> vec

Deleted

  • Functions
    • numberfy (bad practice & useless, use Number.parse())
    • stringify (bad practice & useless, use .toString())
    • arrayify (bad practice, useless, poorly implimented, and there's another much more versatile method. (string).split(","))
    • dist3d (I decided I'm not going to make a 3d library. Overally my knowledge of 3d is rudimentry at best, so I'm getting rid of this & vec3d.)
    • contencate (Just... why did I make this? Same problems as arrayify. Just use (list).join(", "))

Bugfixes

  • Functions
    • median
      • Works properly now (broke v1.5.1)

v2 hotfix 1

2/1/2023

Bugfixes

  • Variables
    • allX

    • allY
      • Now returns the y value, not x value (broke v2)

v2

12/22/2022

This is... a huge update. I haven't worked on microscript+ very much, but I added a few features every once in a while and it built up to this. Well, it doesn't look that big, since the place where most of the content is and the place that looks the most underwhelming happen to be the same place: New.

8/31/2022

Microscript's back! I was waiting to release this because one of the features doesn't work due to a microscript bug, but I figured it's been long enough and I might as well just publish this and add a note saying it won't work until it's fixed. Anyways, because of that, it's a pretty big update :D

v1.3.2

6/13/2022

New

  • Functions
    • map

Updated

  • Variables
    • All dynamic variables are now updated every millisecond, as opposed to every frame
  • Classes
    • Optimized scrollbar and slider, removing a lot of mathematical operations in update and draw (however, it does require a bit more computing when initiating a new instance). Not anything you would notice normally, but if you for some reason need a ton of scrollbars, or have a really really weak machine, it might help.
    • Scrollbar and slider now have a progress variable you can access, mapping the pure x/y position of the slider/scrollbar to a 0-1 range showing the progress from the starting position

Bugfixes

  • Variables
    • milliseconds and seconds are back inside the msplus object, like they're supposed to be (Broke v1.2.2)
  • Classes
    • Scrollbar and slider now actually scroll with the mouse wheel (Broke v1.3.1)

v1.3.1

6/11/2022

Updated

  • Classes
    • Scrollbar & slider now can adjust when you scroll with a mouse wheel, with a new variable scrollSpeed (If scrollSpeed is negative, it will go in reverse, if scrollSpeed is 0 or not defined, it won't react at all to mouse wheel events.)
    • Separated scrollbar's, slider's, and button's draw() into both draw() and update() in case you want to do something like stop the button/scrollbar/slider from updating (i.e. if you are in a pause menu, and don't want to let the user press the button, but still want to draw it to the screen)

v1.3 - "UI" update

6/10/2022

New

  • Functions
    • fillScreen
  • Classes
    • uiButton
    • scrollbar

Bugfixes

  • Functions
    • Numberfy

New

  • Classes
    • vec3d

Updated

  • Classes
    • Vec2d
      • Revamped, renaming .getAttr() to .attr(), massively improving + and -, fixing * to be mathematically correct, and removing / and &

In stringify you could replace the error message with

str = "object: "
for property in a.class
  str = str + property + "=" + a[property] + ", "
end
return str

to handle unknown types.

Also, not sure what you're trying to do with operators "/" for the vector?

(edit: corrected typo in the code - now uses correct a variable name)

@Sebastian I tried to do that with the objects, but it didn't work, didn't think to do it with classes though, thank you! As for the /, it's just division, I figured there might be a rare case where someone might want it, so I added it :p

1
Sebastian

Ok, but I think you made a mistake in definition?

"/" = function(a, b)
      return new Vec2d(a.x*b.x, a.y*b.y)
    end

And beside that - division of a vector by another vector is not defined in mathematics, so if someone needs it, then they have a bigger problem ;)

JmeJuniper

Oops, thanks for catching that! Honestly, Vec2d was kinda rushed, I'm going to redo it soon

TinkerSmith

Dang, this is growing quickly :)

P.S. are you planning on releasing some demo to show the use of some of your extensions? Especially looking at your dynamics and walls :)

Live Long and Tinker

JmeJuniper

Thank you :D I'm really excited for dynamics, so expect some more updates to that! And yeah I better start work on a demo, I have procrastinated that long enough XD

Edit: Aaand... Done! Nothing much, but I think it helps show the usefulness of dynamics and some other things

1
TinkerSmith

Aaaaaah, that makes much more sense right away :) So basically by assigning walls to a dynamic object it creates kind of collision groups, or so.

Thanks a lot for the example :)

1
JmeJuniper

@TinkerSmith Yeah, pretty much. I was thinking of having them a separate class, but then you would need to call something like sprite.updWallPos(wall) and it would be annoying :/ Glad you enjoyed! (P.S. I'm almost done with a new update that adds keybinding and a way to see if a sprite is touching a wall, I think you'll like it :D )

0
TinkerSmith

Cool. I might need some walls soon, but haven't had time yet to further explore it.

Have to see how it works when I have multiple players/NPCs and one set of walls

0
JmeJuniper

@Tinkersmith Walls are assigned to a single dynamic at a time (really it's just an array named this.walls with some objects with x y width and height) so they won't transfer :/

EDIT: Though that does make it easier to make walls that only apply to one dynamic

It will be cool if you add a normalize() method to the vec2d class. Something like this:

normalize = function()
    this.x = this.x/sqrt(this.x^2+this.y^2)
    this.y = this.y/sqrt(this.x^2+this.y^2)
  end
1
JmeJuniper

Sure! I'll be using a slightly different method, but yes, I'll absolutely include that in the next update!

EDIT: Turns out I had an update ready to go, I just haven't published it yet! Thanks for reminding me xD

JmeJuniper

@Deleted All done! Update released :)

Just a heads up, String.replace already exists in microscript, and String."*" also exists but as String.repeat.

You can test it in the console:

> "foo".repeat(3)
"foofoofoo"
