Catweb Compiler

Code compiler for roblox game Cat Web The game uses a block-based coding language. Luckly its possible to import code via json so I've made this compiler which coverts a basic text based language into cat web's json format.

Basic Docs

Global Functions

Debuging

• log(message: string); Prints white text
• warn(message: string); Prints orange text
• error(message: string); Prints red text

Control

• wait(seconds: number); Waits seconds seconds
• redirect(url: string); Redirects user to url

Audio

• play(audio_id: number); Plays audio with id id
• play_l(audio_id: number); Plays audio with id id on loop
• volume(volume: number); Sets global volume to volume
• stopall(); Stops all playing audio
• pauseall(); Pauses all playing audio
• resumeall(); Resumes any paused audio

Display

• hide(id: number); Hides element with global id id<
• show(id: number); Shows element with global id id
• configure(property: string, id: number, value: any); Sets property property to value on element with global id id

Loops

Loop forever

loop {
    log("hi");
}

Loop n times

loop(n: number) {
    log("hi");
}

Variables

Variable support is still in progress however the basics work.

• x = 10; Create variable x with value 10
• y = x + 2; Create variable y with value as result of expression x + 2 (Support for longer expressions not implemented yet)
• log("{x}"); Log variable x to console. Support for log(x); not implemented yet.
• log("The value of x is: {x}"); String works!

Comments

• // for single line comments
• /* */ for multi line comments

Notes

• There is a limit of 500 actions per second. wait(seconds: number) can be used to slow down your code to stay below this limit.
• The developer of cat web has incorrectly utilized the roblox filter resulting in very harsh code tagging.

Todo

• Variables
• Conditionals
• Code Triggers (Loaded, key press, etc)
• Loops
• Functions (Cat web doesn't have functions, this will be a compiler time macro-like thing)
