The keywords found in the file actually represent classes that are then called with the provided arguments or parameters. This process is similar to the screen description language (SDL) files when using POV-Ray or scripts when using OpenSCAD. The following is an example of my file.This doesn't look like Python to me....
// Process another file as if it is part of this one
include kobldes.inc
// Set default variables
snapObject = sphere
snapSize = 10
// call an object in a particular calss with the provided parameters
siteLevel(name, 0, 0) // name, siteLevel, basementLevel
buildingLevel(level1Name, 3000) // name, height
buildingLevel(level2Name, 3000) // name, height
setLevel(level1Name)
space(spaceName, 4, 0, 2464) // name, number of sides,
// base elevation in level, height
So considering some of the functions I have provided as comments, I am looking for the best way to create an engine that will read this file and call the appropriate classes via the keywords.
