Master Assembly Script (MAS)
Mas is a scripting language designed for use in video game programming. It is meant to allow
aspects of the game to be scripted rather then hard coded so they can be changed without
the actual executable being changed. It is a simple scripting language and in its first ful
release has very limited functionality.
A mas program is simple, and is layed out as follows
mas ProgramName {
var {
var& variable ; comment var& means long integer
var# float ; means floating point
var$ string ; means string variable
}
begin {
start:
mov variable, 0
jmp start ; jump to start code label
}
}
Mas is similar to assembly language, in that you use code labels, do compares, and
then use instructions to jump based on the flags register. However there are no registers
and the instructions directly operate on variables.

I just had one question. Do you think
an MAS script file could be compiled to
a ready to run file? Sort of like how
Java has byte code .class files. Just a
thought

lang ;)

the first version of MAS I had a
bytecode like java, but for the second
version I decided to just have it
interpet the script as is.
