EBIGU

EBIGU [ibígu] aka Extraordinary Basically Ingenious Gamemaking Utility is a simple "programming language" which I wrote in python for exactly 3 days xD It is mainly made for creating 2D games (using pygame as a base). Oh yes, and it is in Bulgarian :D (not in cyrillic though)

You can also write pure python in .ebigu files and mix it with EBIGU, no probs

Installation

You can either just clone the source code or download a compiled version from the latest release

Usage

Just open your .ebigu file with the EBIGU.py or EBIGU.exe

py EBIGU.py hello_world.ebigu
EBIGU.exe hello_world.ebigu

If you specify a thirt parameter (a python file) the source code will be translated and written in that file. (rather than executed)

py EBIGU.py hello_world.ebigu my_cool_file.py

Contributing

I am 100% open for any ideas and contibutions :D

Hello World

izpishi('Zdravei Svqt')

If ya wan't a more thorough hello world check out the hello_world folder in the repo. It is a simple af game which I wrote in the process of testing the language, perfect to get ya started. Btw, the assets are just some stuff I downloaded from the Internet so be careful with copyright and stuff if you intend to use them.

The Docs

The official documentation of EBIGU :D

The Basics

Assigning a variable:

kon = 'Mustang'
listche = [1, 2, 3]

If else statement:

ako kon e 'Mustang' ili 3 ne v listche:          # if kon == 'Mustang' or 3 not in listche
	ne pravi nishto                              # pass
ako li puk kon ne e 'Pesho' i kon ne e 'Gosho':  # elif kon != 'Pesho' and kon != 'Gosho'
	izpishi('Kude li sa Pesho i Gosho')          # print
inache:                                          # else
	ne_znam = vqrno                              # vqrno -> False, nevqrno -> True

# BTW the tabs are important... Just sayin'
# And they have to tabs tabs, not spaces

Loops:

za l v obseg(30):              # for l in range(30)
	izpishi(l)

broqch = 0
dokato vqrno:                  # while True
	ako broqch e 31:
		preskochi              # continue
	ako li puk broqch e 100:
		schupi                 # break
	inache:
		izpishi(broqch)
	broqch += 1

Functions:

kato izvikam kvo_staa(na_kef_sum):       # def kvo_staa(na_kef_sum):
	globalni nqkva_globalna_promenliva   # global nqkva_globalna_promenliva
	ako na_kef_sum e vqrno:
		izpishi('Na kef sum')
	inache:
		vurni                         # return

Comments:

# Az sum komentar

Random:

sluchaino(0, 9)  # random.randint(0, 9)

The cool stuff

Here you can find all the gamemaking EBIGU actions

Initializing the game

Initialize new game and set the window size (compulsory):

prozorcheto da mi bude (width, height)

Set window icon:

ikonkata da mi bude ./path/to/icon.png

Set window caption (title):

igrata mi se kazva 'Nai qkata igra na zemqta'

Set desired fps:

# Default is 30 (you don't really need to set this)
nadqvam se igrata mi da vurvi s 60 fps

Set background (colors can be either in hex or rgb values):

fonut da mi bude ./path/to/background.jpg
fonut da mu bude #ffffff

Ifs and checkers

! Every one of these has to be in the "osnoven cikul" aka the main game loop

Check if mouse has been clicked:

ako mishkata e cuknata:
	...

Check if the mouse is currently in motion:

ako mishkata murda:
	...

Check if the button specified has been clicked:

ako nqkuv_qk_buton e kliknat:
	...

Check if a certain key is pressed: (you can find the full list of key names here)

ako K_UP e natisnat:
	...

Collision detection between two sprites (aka heroes):

ako sprite1 se blusne s sprite2:
	...

Collision detection between a sprite and a group of sprites:

ako sprite se blusne s neshto ot group:
	...

Check if a sprite (aka hero) is outside the window boundaries:

ako sprite izleze ot poleto:
	...

Check if an event is happening:

ako subitie NQKAKVO_SUBITIE:
	...

Create a new hero object (sprite):

igrach = nov geroi s golemina (width, height) i sprite ./path/to/player.png
krugche= nov geroi s golemina (width, height) i sprite krugche i cvqt #d8f83f
# default color is #ffffff so it is not a compulsory parameter
pravougulniche = nov geroi s golemina (width, height) i sprite pravougulniche

Create a new font object (needed for buttons and texts):

fontche = nov font ./path/to/fontche.ttf s golemina 40

Create a new text object:

krai_text = nov text 'Krai na igrata' s font fontche i cvqt #ffffff

Create a new button object:

igrai_buton = nov buton 'Igrai' s cvqt #ffffff i fonov cvqt #000000 i cvqt #0f0f0f pod kursora i font fontche i golemina (width, height)

Create a new event:

# Always has to be in uppercase
NOVO_SUBITIE = novo subitie

Audio

Load a new sound:

lazer_zvuk = nov zvuk ./path/to/lazer.wav

Play sound:

izpei lazer_zvuk

Set sound volume:

izpeivai lazer_zvuk s 0.5 zvuk

Some useful get actions

Get current mouse position (works only in "osnoven cikul"):

poz_mishka = poziciq na mishkata

Get the position of a sprite:

poz_igrach = poziciq na igrach

Get the size of a sprite:

golemina_igrach = golemina na igrach

Animations

Add an animation to a sprite (the sprite has to be first "plesnat" (drawn)):

# The folder has to consist of the animation's images only
# and they should be numbered in the right order
igrach_animaciq = nova animaciq na igrach ot ./path/to/folder

Play animation:
