Slang JoeDiertay 0.2.2 [h1]Slang: High-Level Programming for Stationeers[/h1] Stop writing assembly. Start writing code. Slang (Stationeers Language) brings modern programming to Stationeers. It allows you to write scripts using a familiar C-style syntax (variables, functions, if/else, loops) directly in the in-game editor. When you hit confirm, Slang compiles your code into IC10 instantly. [b]NOTE: This project is in BETA. Expect updates and changes![/b] [h2]Features[/h2] [list] [*] [b]In-Game Compilation:[/b] No external tools needed. Write Slang directly in the IC editor. [*] [b]No More Register Juggling:[/b] Define variables with let (e.g., let temp = 300). The compiler manages r0-r15 for you. [*] [b]Control Flow:[/b] Write readable logic with if, else, while, loop, break, and continue. [*] [b]Functions:[/b] Create reusable code blocks with arguments. [*] [b]Smart Editor:[/b] Get real-time syntax highlighting and error checking (red text) as you type. [*] [b]Persistent Source:[/b] Your high-level Slang code is saved to the chip, so it's there when you come back. [*] [b]Optimizations:[/b] Features like Constant Folding calculate math at compile time to save instructions. [*] [b]Device Aliasing:[/b] Simple mapping: device sensor = "d0". [*] [b]Temperature Literals:[/b] Don't worry about converting Celsius to Kelvin anymore. Define your temperatures as whatever you want and append the proper suffix at the end (ex. 20c, 68f, 293.15k) [/list] [h2]Installation[/h2] This is a StationeersLaunchPad Plugin Mod. 1. Install BepInEx (required). 2. Install StationeersLaunchPad. 3. Subscribe to Slang. [h2]Usage[/h2] 1. Open any IC10 housing or editor in-game. 2. Write your Slang code. 3. Press [b]Confirm[/b]. The mod compiles your code to IC10 and loads it onto the chip. [h2]Example Code[/h2] [code] device airCon = "d0"; device gasSensor = "d1"; loop { yield(); // yes, ideally you would use a latch here, but this is just a simple example :) airCon.On = gasSensor.Temperature >= 28c; } [/code] [h2]Known Issues (Beta)[/h2] [list] [*] [b]Code Size:[/b] Compiled output is currently more verbose than hand-optimized assembly. Optimization passes are planned. [*] [b]Stack Access:[/b] Direct stack memory access is disabled to prevent conflicts with the compiler's internal memory management. [*] [b]Documentation:[/b] In-game tooltips for syscalls (like load, set) are WIP. Check the "Slang" entry in the Stationpedia (F1) for help. [*] [b]Debugging:[/b] Runtime errors currently point to the compiled IC10 line number, not your Slang source line. Source mapping is coming soon. [/list] [h2]Planned Features[/h2] [list] [*] Side-by-side view: Slang vs. Compiled IC10. [*] Compiler optimizations (dead code elimination, smarter register allocation). [*] Enhanced LSP features (Autocomplete, Go to Definition). [*] Full feature parity with all IC10 instructions. [*] Tutorials and beginner script examples. [/list] [h2]FAQ[/h2] [b]Q: What is the DLL extracted to my temp folder?[/b] A: The Slang compiler is built in Rust for performance and reliability. It is compiled as a native library and bundled with the mod. It must be extracted temporarily to function within the game's C# environment. [b]Q: Is this compatible with my current save?[/b] A: Yes! Slang does not modify any existing IC10 code, it is only a compiler. As a matter of fact: if you wish to stop using Slang at any time, your compiled IC10 will still exist on the chip. However: Slang adds a comment at the bottom of your compiled IC10 which is a GZIP and base64 encoded version of your Slang source code. This might break line limits with Slang not installed. If you wish to no longer use Slang, I recommend you remove this comment from the source code after uninstalling Slang.

Write C-style code that compiles to IC10 instantly. Features - In-Game Compilation: Write high-level logic directly in the chip editor. - Automatic Registers: Stop juggling r0-r15. Just use let variables. - Control Flow: Full support for if, else, while, and loop. - Smart Editor: Integrated syntax highlighting and real-time error checking. - Persistent Code: Your Slang source code is saved with the chip, so you never lose your work. - Optimization: The compiler automatically optimizes constant math (e.g., 1 + 2 becomes 3). Example Code device sensor = "d0"; const MAX_TEMP = 300k; loop { let temp = sensor.Temperature; if (temp > MAX_TEMP) { // Do logic here } yield(); } Installation This is a StationeersLaunchPad Plugin Mod. It requires BepInEx to be installed. See: https://github.com/StationeersLaunchPad/StationeersLaunchPad Source Code: https://github.com/dbidwell94/stationeers_lang ]]>
