A programming language. Compiles to bytecode, useful for games.

Example:

# fact.mt -- prints factorial of 5

func fact(n)
	if n < 2 return 1 end
	return n * fact(n - 1)
end

func _main()
	write(fact(5))
	return 0
end

The syntax is fairly similar to that of Lua or Python. 'write' isn't designated as an extern because it is a compiler intrinsic; it compiles directly to a bytecode instruction which writes the first argument to stdout.

The language also supports function pointers:

# writer.mt -- demonstrates function pointers

# printf is a standard library function (supports %s, %g, and %c)
extern printf

var writer

func write_string(s)
	printf("'%s'\n", s)
end

func write_number(g)
	printf("%g\n", g)
end

func _main()
	writer = write_string
	write("hello world")

	writer = write_number
	writer(10)
	
	return 0
end

There are also dictionaries (with similar functionality to tables in Lua, or dictionaries in python)

# dict.mt -- demonstrates dictionaries
func _main()
	var d = { x = 10, y = 20 }
	write(d.x)
	write(d.y)
	
	d.color = [255, 255, 255] # shorthand for d["color"], d.color is also faster than d["color"]
	
	write("d.color:")
	write(d.color[0])
	write(d.color[1])
	write(d.color[2])
	
	return 0
end
