Zil-Like language

I wrote a compiler + engine + demo game, which can be played at Zil-Like. Any feedback is appreciated!

The language syntax is inspired by zil. Can find some brief documentation in the github repo (click the question mark on the demo game page). I’ve been cooking this project for awhile, but wrote the actual game fairly quickly.

I edited the link in; the forum doesn’t let people post links until they’ve made a certain number of other non-link posts, to avoid spambots.

It’s quite interesting to see how the code looks! Some bits are quite similar, but there are some interesting differences.

Any differences in particular that stick out? I don’t really know what I’m doing, kind of felt my way through it and had fun

Your language is a lot more readable than Zil, from what little I’ve seen of both, but the game is kind of clunky. Looks bigger and more complex than one might expect at first however.
