Small WML Improvement

[Dave]

I have added a new feature to WML to make it slightly less verbose. I've always found it irritating that you have to write e.g.

Code: Select all

x=12
y=18

To specify a co-ordinate pair. So, I've added a feature to the language that allows you to specify it on the same line:

Code: Select all

x,y=12,18

This isn't a co-ordinate specific feature -- any set of values can be initialized like this. E.g.

Code: Select all

red,green,blue=200,0,0

Also, if you don't specify as many values as you do attributes, all the attributes without values will use the last value. That means that referring to my proposal for a better tiling system, instead of having to go,

Code: Select all

n=~h
ne=~h
se=~h
sw=~h
nw=~h

You could simply go,

Code: Select all

n,ne,se,sw,nw=~h

you cannot do something like this:

Code: Select all

x=1,2,3,4
y=4,3,2,1

in this new way, correct? (and yes, i realize that you could still just do it like above)

No you can't do something like that.
