Hi, here I go again. My question is about types. There exists long or double types? When I've tried to get a timestamp from time lib I've got type error in argument.

This is the .w code:

import time

int t = time(NULL) str date = ctime(t) print(date)

This is the error I get:

Sources/c/main.c: In function ‘main’: Sources/c/main.c:13:24: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘ctime’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 13 | char* date = ctime(t); | ^ | | | long int In file included from Sources/c/main.c:5: /usr/include/time.h:142:14: note: expected ‘const time_t *’ {aka ‘const long int *’} but argument is of type ‘long int’ 142 | extern char *ctime (const time_t *__timer) __THROW; | ^~~~~ Regards

Photon currently uses the 'self' name to identify the class instance.

The proposed alternative (or optional) notation is: .attribute = 2 Instead of self.attribute = 2

Frist i change the compiler language from py to C

After i tryed to execult my simple test code but that time i increaced the c in output space

This erro happen for that code

int a = 9.5 print(a) b = type(a) print(b) ~ ~ ~
PS: Sorry my english if i has something erro of grammar or sintax. PS: I love the idea of the a programmer language like photon, please fix it.

I made a little joke with the python logo kkk I'm registering as an idea, but if u approve, can be the new one.

This is how photon.svg looks like, the insight is a "P" in front of another "P"

photon-alternative.svg is kinda fat, but stay as alternative

As Marcus Lourenço said in my video on youtube, there are many other references for the term wlang on the internet. This can confuse people into looking into other projects instead. What you think of changing the name of the language. Name and extensions suggestions are welcome ^^

I know is your way of naming, I follow you time ago, but is not very 'pep'...

Function and Variable Names

Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability.

Variable names follow the same convention as function names.

mixedCase is allowed only in contexts where that’s already the prevailing style (e.g. threading.py), to retain backwards compatibility.

Those erro happen ..

File: main.w

def compute():
    print("ok")

File: ffi_example.py

from photon import pimport
main = pimport("main")
main.compute()

To generate the shared constructor file (main.so or main.dll) you need to use the command:

photon --build shared # Currently, it only works if the file is called `main.w`
python ffi_example.py

int:int dict_int = {}
dict_int[1] = 1
dict_int[2] = 4
dict_int[3] = 9
dict_int[4] = 16

del dict_int[2]

# This structure only works if the list key is a sequence of integers.
for i in 1..dict_int.len+1:
    print("The key {i} contains the value {dict_int[i]}")

int:int dict_int = {}
dict_int[1] = 1
dict_int[2] = 4
dict_int[3] = 9
dict_int[4] = 16

del dict_int[2]

# This structure does not work in the list-only dictionary.
for key, value in dict_int:
    print("The key {key} contains the value {value}")

Implements #9

I strongly recommend do not use it in future. Windows is kinda dumb and needs a better approach for running this safely. Maybe PyInstaller with InnoSetup.

The installation method presupposes python is available in %PATH%

File: test.w

def add_list(int list = []):
    print("Received:")
    print(list)
    print()
    int sum = 0
    for num in list:
        print(num)
        sum += num
    return sum

int list = [1, 2, 3]

print("Add = {add_list(list)}")

photon test.w

Received:
[]
Add = 0

I've installed photon and I've tried to execute the basic code to simply open the ui window and I have got the following error:

Sources/c/main.c:7:10: fatal error: raylib.h: No existe el archivo o el directorio.(File or folder does not exists)

What should i do? Thanks in advance

for C:
    print("Target C")

for D:
    print("Target D")

for JS:
    print("Target JavaScript")

for DART:
    print("Target Dart")

for HAXE:
    print("Target Haxe")

for PY:
    print("Target Python")

When combining multiple sources and libraries, it is useful to use namespaces to avoid naming conflicts.

We can use the path of the file to create the namespace.
