[Lazy Release] SwitchAsm

SwitchAsm

A C# tool to generate switch levels from text files. See a working demo of it on EE and the source code for it.

SwitchAsm as of it's current state is fairly immature, but just mature enough to technically work.

▼Small Tutorial

# this is a comment.
# notice how it starts with a # and a space.
# all comments have to have a space infront of it.
# this is a compiler definition
#text 0
# anytime we have "text", it will get replaced with '0'.
#a b c d
# now wherever we write "a" it will replace it with "b c d"
# when a player jumps into portal 1, e.g. a 0 -> 1 portal
1 {
    # reset switch 5 to an "off" state, and switch 7 to an "on" state
    reset 5 off
    reset 7 on
    # if switch 0 is on, goto portal 2.
    if 0 2
    # else, we'll goto portal 3
    goto 3
}
2 {
    # we'll only arrive here if switch 0 is on, so by toggling switch 0 we turn it ogg
    toggle 0
    goto 3
}
# now we'll assume portal 3 is just going back to the hub or something

Re: [Lazy Release] SwitchAsm

The definition syntax (#{no space}<variable> <value>) could be improved on.
First off using a different symbol than a comment (An @ could work).
Another thing I would personally do (but there are opinions for and against it), is also introduce a colon to separate the variable name from value name.

So new syntax would become "@<name>:<value>" Or in regex (stripping away preceding and trailing white space): "@\s*(?<name>\S(\s*[^\s:])*)\s*:\s*(?<value>\S.*)"
                                                            ^ First colon found (so any 2nd+ colons are part of value)
