Found a new scripting language!

[Zune]

I found a new scripting language. It's called DWI (Data With Interaction) and it's used for a program called StepMania (www.stepmaniaonline.com). It's basically like DDR, but keyboard-tastic! It's like the same with HTML and PHP, you edit the code in notepad and save the file as filename.dwi. I just made my first code today:

#FILE:59.MP3;
#TITLE:.59;
#ARTIST:DJ Taka;
#BPM:77.89;
#GAP:0;

#SINGLE:LIGHT:5:
0000000000000000
0000000002080406
0000000042648426
00002!2000000002
4002604800400026
;

Yes, it does look very easy but the part with all the numbers is hard as hell. (Unless you have a guide ^^.)

Now, you know how DDR works, right? When the arrow hits a certain spot, you step on that arrow...well those lines of numbers represent the arrows. Like so:

0 = no arrow
1 = Down + Left
2 = Down
3 = Down + Right
4 = Left
5 = (none)
6 = Right
7 = Up + Left
8 = Up
9 = Up + Right
A = Up + Down
B = Left + Right
! = Freeze Arrow

Mine looks really easy of course because that's the first one I made. But regular codes (codes that take up 2 minutes) have about 9 of those paragraphs. On the hardness factor with 1 being HTML and 10 being PHP, i'd rate it about 7. If you'd like to know more about DWI, you can aim me or email me. So tell me what you think.

i don't know about all that, i just know that c++ is hard as hell

C++ is a programming language, he was talking about scripting languages.

For some reason this is really, really awesome to me.

God, I'm such a retard, I find the most weird languages and fall in love with them. Can anybody say "Brainfuck?"

Then you'd like whitespace XD

Lmao! wow, that language is so gay, i cant imagine anybody programming in that shit.
One more thing; C++ isnt hard at all, considering all the other things out there. I'd rate C++ to be a 5 in hardness..

I admit, I had a really fucking hard time trying to learn PROLOG. The problem is my interpreter fucked up (SWI-Prolog) so I can't code anymore. :(

This 'whitespace' language could actually have some interesting uses, if you feel like stretching your brain a little. If you had a C program that was doublespaced, with the whitespace code on the blank lines, you would have a file that could be processed by two different compilers and produce two completely different results. Not particularly useful at first glance, but an interesting concept nonetheless...

Haha, just went to the whitespace page, that's hilarious XD

I don't class that bunch of numbers as code, it's data. If you make a level for unreal, it's data. But when you script something it's programing.
Anyhow what can you do with brainfuck anyhow?
Isn't it just i++, i--,print(i),i=read?

[BitMonkey]

More or less... There are conditional loops, although I only took a quick glance at the language and don't know how they work. Apparently, it is Turing Complete (ie. any programming task can theoretically be accomplished in brainfuck)
