I think the game I’m looking forward to the most next year is Classic World of Warcraft. I spent a good chunk of my waking life playing WoW when it first came out. I even started a Monkey Island themed guild that sported over hundred members, most of which never got above level 12. But it was good times.
Doing testing on closures. This also makes my head hurt.
What do you think this will print?
local t = {
bar = 100
f = function() {
print(this.bar)
}
}
t2 <- {
bar = 200
}
t2.f <- t.f
local r = {
bar = 1000
function do_call(f) {
f()
}
}
r.do_call(t2.f)

Well, not answers in the definitive truth of the universe way…
If you compile and run this code in Squirrel, the answer is 1000. This surprised me a little. I was expecting 200, but would have taken 100. As I build this new compiler, being some-what compatible with Squirrel is important, since I have a shit-lot of code already written in Squirrel that needs to run in the new compiler.
