v0.1.0 released

MotC
A downloadable tool

Key features of this release are exporting to Windows, and game controller support.

Used to create the updated "Whiplash Taxi Co" game which I'm releasing shortly.

Full release notes:

  • Export to Windows executable (command "Export as Windows Application").
  • Game controller support.
  • Multi-line string literals.
  • New interval function overload to update gamestate at a fixed rate, dropping render frames if necessary.
  • Reworked keypress logic to use keyboard buffer queues. (One for scancodes, and one for characters). This is a breaking change in that keypr is no longer a runtime function. Use getkey and getchar instead.
  • New clearkeys function to clear the keyboard buffers.
  • Fixed op-code optimisation bug that could produce incorrect code.
  • Fixed boolean expression not requiring a boolean value.
  • Ternary operators ? and : (e.g. size = n > 5 ? "big" : "small").
  • Disallow variables with the same names as runtime functions.
  • Add missing KEY_ESCAPE constant (for keyboard functions).
  • Save text to file.
  • Save/load memory blocks to/from file.
  • Compiler directives for heap and stack size, window title.
  • Added missing runtime functions to documentation.
