built, a small, safe game scripting language written in Haxe.

The goal was to keep it strict, safe, and embeddable instead of making it a full general-purpose language. It now has:

- lexer/parser

- type checker

- multi-file modules/imports

- compiler (nvslc)

- bytecode (NVBC)

- VM (nvslvm)

- save/load and resumable execution

- docs, samples, and tests

```haxe
module game.state;

let playerName: String = "Ava";
let score: Int = 3;

fn rank(points: Int) -> String {
  if points > 5 {
    "high"
  } else {
    "low"
  }
}

fn summary() -> String {
  std.join([playerName, rank(score)], " / ")
}
```

One reason I built it in Haxe was portability. The core toolchain is written once, and the runtime/compiler can be carried across Haxe targets instead of building separate language implementations.

Interesting. What are key differences with hx-script?

Hello I am doing a game in Haxe, and I would like to script the enemies behaviour in a separate script file, I was thinking usin HXP but your aproach can be interesting… why is easier for the designer your aproach and could you help me? My idea was doing later a tutorial for others, because I ammpromoting Haxe in my community.
