hpl2-parser

A parser for HPL2's scripting language (AngelScript 2.19.2)

Prototype Goal

The goal is to create a parser that will be able to validate a script file for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It should catch the following problems:

• Calling a function that is not declared either in a script, or in Amnesia's API
• Common Syntax problems such as missing parenthesis or semicolons

Progress

*Recognize in this context means the generated Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) contains the correct values and types

• Recognize a function declaration
• Recognize a function call (1/?)
  • Recognize a parameterless function call
  • Recognize a function call with parameters that are all literal values
• Recognize variable declaration
• Recognize a function call (2/?)
  • Recognize a function call with literal AND variable parameters
  • Recognize a function call with literal, variable, AND function call parameters
• ... plan the next set of goals ...
