Open Source Flash Actionscript Next Generation with Rust

flash's Issues

Vegey

I said I couldn't program, mostly because I can't properly install SDKs and these alike things in my Android phone. The issue arises, in first place, because I can't install Android SDK and thus I'm unable to generate APK using tools like android-rs-glue and even Haxe tools. The unique alternative I know of is generating Dalvik bytecode or arch code (arm-androideabi, x64 etc.) and wrapping these in APKs manually with a language compiler.

Since Node.js is popular, there's much to help generating APK. I'll check things out...

Now I've finished vegeyparse's parser. It took a week apparently. I've not done any proper testing, just passed some expressions and directives to vegeyparse.parse(), fixing a lot of strangerisms. It reports errors very nicely!

Now is needed a verifier (a.k.a. symbol solver). I had a partial one for DollScript, but I wanna plan it better. It's the last step to get writting vegeyc, the comliler that generates Vegey bytecode.

Flash Display

The rs ecosystem is just growing. We can search crates.io for finding what we need from what we had in Flash, except the display tree (flash.display). With gfx-rs, winit and swf-rs we can implement a good one.

Porting old projects to Rust might be hard since it's gradually different from ActionScript, though. But that's for good since AS isn't a scalable language.

ShockScript

Compiler is now in Java again.
