Make v1.8 Release Notes

Release Date: December 2025

What’s New in v1.8

• Imported Make Files Support
  You can now import and use external .make files easily!
  Example:
  

  mathPath = \examplesPath math.make
  useMakeFileFrom mathPath as math
  math = \useFunction_power_from_math_giving_2_3
  show \math
  

  This lets you modularize your code and reuse functions across projects.
• New Built-in Paths
  Added new special variables for easy file management:
  
  • \examplesPath — path to examples folder
  • \mainStoragePath — main storage directory
  • \scriptpath — current script file path
  • \scriptname — current script file name
• Enhanced Output Commands
  Added showLine for printing with automatic newline (like println):
  

  showLine hello
  showLine world
  

  Output:
  

  hello
  world
  

• Function Call Output Available Globally
  Function results are saved automatically in \lastFunctionOutput after a call, so you can easily use function outputs anywhere.
• Improved Core Stability and Bug Fixes
  
  • Fixed indentation issues causing errors with skip and gotoline.
  • Better handling of spaces and tabs at the start of lines.
  • Refined parsing of if else skipTo conditional syntax for clearer, more readable code.
• New Documentation and Examples
  Added more example files including a basic math library to get started quickly.

Quick Reminder: Make Language Basics

• Comments: Use comment: for comments.
• Variables: Assign like a = 10.
• Functions: Create with createFunction and call with useFunction.
• Control Flow: Use if condition else skipTo label for conditional jumps.
• Android Specifics: Use commands like toast, vibrate, and switchOnTorch on Android interpreter.

How to Update

Simply download the latest version and replace your old interpreter or editor app. Your existing .make scripts will work as before, now with enhanced features!
