Example Scripts

The following is a collection of example scripts that showcase how Verboscript works:

Note: As verboscript is still a W.I.P, these are subject to change.

Write to screen

The classic "hello world" to demonstrate how to write to the screen.

Python:

print("hello world")

Verboscript:

show hello world.
display hello world.

Fetch and display user input.

Python:

x = input("What is your name?\n> ")
print("your name is", x)

Verboscript:

ask "What is your name?" and store the response in x.
show your name is x.

Compare two values using an if-elif-else block

Python:

a = 30
b = 40

if a > b:
    print("a is larger than b")
elif a == b:
    print("a is equal to b")
else:
    print("a is smaller than b")

Verboscript:

set a to 30. set b to 40.

if a is greater than b, then:
    show "a" is larger than "b".
alternatively, if a is equal to b:
    show "a" is equal to "b".
otherwise, do the following:
    show "a" is smaller than "b".

Compute the first 100 fibonachi numbers

using the recursive formula: x_n = x_n-1 + x_n-2

Python:

first = 1
second = 1

for x in range(100):
    next = first + second
    first = second
    second = next
    print(next)

Verboscript:

set first and second equal to 1.

repeat the following one hundred times:
    make next equal to first plus second.
    set first equal to second, and second equal to next.
    show next.
