Reverse Polish Notation is a form of mathematical layout, whereby your equation function is left until the end of the numbers that it'll work with.
-=-=- For example, instead of writing 1 + 2 to get 3, you'd write 1 2 + This is a thing, and until today, I honestly didn't see the point of it. But today I made use of it for the Scripting Engine. Don't worry, this won't be the end result! But for the meantime, all maths has to be written like that. I also need to shove brackets around ALL the maths, right now, too, because otherwise the parser goes "That's a number" and ignores the maths! Derp!! I next need to figure out how to shuffle a standard maths string around, to turn it into RPN whilst it's loading the script, as well as dump all those brackets around things. Shouldn't be "too" tricky, but .. yikes! ![]() ![]() Other quick additions.. Ovals and Triangles are in place. Alpha transparency works. Floating point numbers work. Mmmmm!! Note about somewhat erratic space placement.. Just for testing! I was having issues with it getting spaces wrong! Views 185, Upvotes 25
