Ziron Programming Language - Assembly Based

[OverHertz]

sorry i do not understand, and the samples are not meant to be full programs written for you, they are just samples of the language syntax etc. But if you explain more in detail what you mean, maybe i can make some changes/additions  :U

i think you still do not understand it is a console that displays nothing, it is not supposed to show anything - so maybe you did not understand the readme.txt, you need to connect to it with telnet via (cmd.exe)

as for usability, it is just like any other compiler, it has an executable that assembled a file, it is possible to drag and drop a .zir file onto the exe and it will startup and assemble it (creating the exe in the same dir as the .zir file)

[OverHertz]

just to mention i have released an update today (version 1.1.20.2) containing 7 samples.

string sample - creating/using strings.
using classes - how to use a class.
remote app - example showing opening another process.
loadfs - how to use internal macro "loadfs".
simple message server - a simple winsock hello world message server.
using directives - how to use some of the directives.
api window - creating a GUI window using the win api.

if anyone has suggestions for more simple samples or would like to contribute some sample, please let me know :)

thought i would post to show about some updates i have been working on, primarily for interfaces and improving classes (inheritance etc)

a directx9 sample application that can be compiled with the upcoming release

creates window, inits directx9 and changes window colour, assembles as a 3kb exe :)

today just now i released the new version of the assembler, along with 2 new samples (now 9 in total) - the macro system is becoming more advanced and much more useful, macro variables can be assigned complex expressions such as

$var = (5+4* 4 shl 3-1 xor 5)*4-2+(5*5 shr $anothervar+5*5+(2+4*2))*5 % 5 or $yetanothervar and SomeMacroFunc();

Nice work OverHertz.

when will Ziron be solid?

how to include COFF files which output from another language with Ziron code?

[Twister]

Not to bash you, but getFileExt('This is a filename.jpg.txt'); is bad - very, very bad.

Thanks, Ziron will be constantly improved and updated dependant on requests, it will also be possible for others to improve the assembler via plugins with a further release, as for included COFF files, once i am satisfied that the language has enough support and a good user base i will begin adding support for including lib/coff files and other misc things :)

Not to bash you, but getFileExt('This is a filename.jpg.txt'); is bad - very, very bad.

and why is that? :)

ps: the only thing i see "bad - very, very bad" is your comment, along with other useless, unhelpful comments... lol

[OverHertz]

thought I'd mention to anyone interested... about a new release of Ziron that finally supports the new plugin system.. it is pretty basic for now but it has a supplied sample plugin with it too along with the basic documentation.

for those interested, you can check it out here
