USL 3.7.7

This release changes the old random function, fixes the return bug, and adds empty_string & empty_number as USL-specific environment variables. The old random function was very awkward but the new random function conforms to the recently introduced ranges of USL. I have also written a usl-doc for all of those people saying things like: "Is there ANY documentation on this AT ALL?!?!"

I'm 21 years old and am writing my own computer language. I took the time of day to write you some documentation.

P.S. THANK YOU to the people from 43 different countries that have downloaded my language. It is so much better than a paycheck or a salary. I wish I could personally thank each of you for considering the language. I hope to make it as useful as possible with what time I have and hope you enjoy using it. Whether you are writing attack scripts or simple every day task scripts. Just enjoy the language. I made it for you.

If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, send me an e-mail at scstauf@gmail.com. I don't mind if you write in your own language. I will use Google Translate.

Back to the programming.

Here is an example of the new random function:

method gen_rand
       @random = env.empty_string

       for i in (1..256)
              @c = random(a..z)

              @random += @c
       endfor

       remove @c
       return @random
end

@rand_str = gen_rand

say "Random String: \{@rand_str}"

Here is an object-oriented guessing game:

##
guessing_game.us

run with: usl -n guessing_game.us
##

object AI
       public
              method init
                     @&__AI_num = env.empty_number
              end

              method set(num)
                     self.init
                     @&__AI_num = $0
              end

              method genRand
                     @random = random(1..5)

                     return @random
              end

              method makeChoice
                     self.set(self.genRand)
              end

              method getChoice
                     return @&__AI_num
              end
end

method getChoice
       @c = "chomp.Your choice: "

       return @c
end

method reset
       delay 2

       ? @clearScreen
end

method setup
       @choice = env.empty_number
       @os = env.os

       if @os = "UNIXMacorLinux"
              @clearScreen = "clear"
       else
              @clearScreen = "cls"
       endif

       ai = AI

       game
end

method game
       for infinity
              say "Pick a number between 1 and 5...0 to exit\]"
              say "The computer is making its choice...\]"
              ai.makeChoice

              try
                     @choice = getChoice
              catch
                     say "\]Leaving!"
                     leave!
              caught

              switch @choice
                     case 0
                            say "\]Leaving!"
                            leave!
                     default
                            @aiChoice = ai.getChoice

                            if @choice = @aiChoice
                                   say "\]You guessed correctly!"

                                   reset
                            else
                                   say "\]You guessed incorrectly!"
                                   say "\]Your choice:\[\{@choice}"
                                   say "AI choice:\[\{@aiChoice}\]"

                                   reset
                            endif
              end
       endfor
end

say "A Simple Guessing Game\]"
