cJass

[Black-Hole]

cJass is small, but useful preprocessor for JASS2 interpreted language, used in Warcraft III by Blizzard ent. Its main purposes are to make the process of writing the script simple and comfortable and to increase its readability.
Here is what cJass code looks like:

Code: Select all

include "syn\\cj_types.j" 

define <new timer> = CreateTimer() 

timer MyGlobalTimer = new timer 

void SomeFunc (bool b) { 
  if (!b) { b = true } 

  float a = 2. 
  int c = -2 
  a *= c + 8. 

  whilenot (a < c++) { 
    BJDebugMsg(I2S(a)) 
  } 
}

The program is designed for use with Jass New Gen Pack, is compatible with vJass (0.9.J.1) parser and is run before it.
Installing:
Download the installer, run it, select preferred install type, then select the NewGen folder and press Install button. That's all!
The AutoUpdate tool is included in the install package, so you can be sure that your cJass version is always the latest one available

Oh, I'm lovin' it.

I put this in General chat on Accident, can a mod/admin move this to the WC3 section please

So what exactly does this do? Convert C++ to Jass? That's what it looks like to me.

It just lets you write JASS with a more C-like syntax, to make it more comfortable to people used to C/C++.
