Warning
This project is still in early development. The syntax and features are subject to change. Use at your own risk.
- TypeScript-like Module System. Use
export,import, andincludeto organize code across.scafffiles, fully resolved at compile-time. - Class Syntax. Define classes with constructors, properties, and methods that compile to GML struct constructors. Extend classes across files with
impl. - Content Directives. Inline compiled GML content (
@content,@valueof,@:, etc.) directives for dynamic code insertion. - Special Values. Access compile-time tokens like
@now,@today,@version,@file, and@linefor metadata and debugging. - Code Generation Blocks. Use
#[blockName]to define named content sections andintgto map them to GameMaker asset paths. - GameMaker Integration. Automatically writes
.gmlfiles, generates.yymetadata, and updates your.yypproject file for scripts and objects. - File Scanning & Processing. Recursive scanning of
.scaffand.gmlfiles with dependency-aware processing order.
