Forge - AI-Driven 3D Programming Language & IDE

THEIMPORTANT

Welcome to Forge!
Forge is an ambitious project; please only request to join if you think you have what it takes to work on this project.
We will try out best to actually finish this project.

Try out forge here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1374010143
Find our dev studio here: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/51905685/

OVERVIEW
Forge is a scratch programming language & IDE for 3D games!

Pipeline:
IDE -> Programming language -> 3D renderer

Language Pipeline:
Source code/script -> Lexer -> Parser -> Optimizations -> Bytecode/Compiler -> 3D Renderer & Script execution

The language will be inspired by C.

The IDE is driven by AI. It will have AI features to generate code, fix errors, highlight them, etc.

IDE FEATURES
The IDE (Integrated Development Environment) will have multiple features!

⚙️ AI Features

AI code generation

AI error overview

AI code autocomplete

⭐️3D Features

Complex lighting (flat/gouraud/phong)

Integrated physics (gravity/bounce/collisions)

Optimizations (frustum culling/backface culling/distance culling)

✍️ IDE Features

Output terminal

3D viewport

Debugger

⚛️ Language & Runtime

3D built-in physics functions

User-friendly syntax

Fast loading

TEAM
Forge is an ambitious project, so a small team of highly skilled people is required.
Every person in the collab and there role assigned can be found here

Engine & Logic
@THEIMPORTANT -> Compiler/AI features/3D Engine (also some help in other parts of the collab)
@extremely_random_guy -> 3D engine
…

UI/UX

@PowPro1502 -> UI/UX designer (IDE)
…

QA / Testing (Bug finding)
@afs2lover -> Bug finding (IDE)
…

TEAM RECRUITMENT
Forge is currently open for recruiting members…

UI/UX -> Demand: HIGH
-> Looking for someone good at creating good UI for engines and systems.

Engine & Logic -> Demand: MEDIUM
-> Looking for people good at creating core features like 3D, language, etc.

QA / Testing (Bug finding) -> Demand: MEDIUM
-> Looking for people that can try to perform tests on the compiler and renderer to see where FPS drops and bugs appear.

BUG TRACKER
Since this is an ambitious project, a bug tracker is essential for making production faster.

Latest version: here

I am going to start with a basic compiler for Forge which can execute basic commands.

Example project can,t think of one
I will promise to help create a code generating system
Send me where I put my code

say [i apply ] for (2) secs

I am good at using different transformation techniques as well as lighting, but I’m generally an all-rounder.

Cool, I think this is for a 2D animation creator/studio or something related to it? Forge will have a different UI style but this looks pretty cool so accepted!

It is a 2d animation creator. Spot on!

I could tell from the “easing style”, lol. Anyways, I am already working on the compiler, and it's nowhere near complete yet but will probably be done this week. You could create an editor UI till then. Just some information to get you started.

Its going to be something like this:

(toolbar + button + settings…)
(leave space here for future tool)(scripting area)(another future tool)
(Error Terminal)

I will share an example UI project too in a while.
Also you should follow the forum for notifications if you haven't already

Hello, can you send me the project link: I'd like to try the programming language out!

Its currently being developed since its in its early stages though I will share it once the language is completed (basic functionality like printing and variables)

accepted! The language is being made in which you could start making the UI for in a while

ok, good. I might try to make use of my smooth glide animation code that's been lying around for a while

Any ideas on what should the starter command for Forge be? (Language Alloy)

Like in Python it is:

print("Hello world!")

So, in Alloy it might be:

print("Forged!")

Any other suggestion? Btw here is the compiler v0.1: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1374010143/

THEIMPORTANT

Btw the language already supports BODMAS (brackets included) and error handling!

maybe

print=Forged!

I have no knowledge in real coding btw

It is not print=Forged. The hardcoded syntax is actually:

print "Forged!";

in Forge/Alloy.
The “=” is strictly for variable assignment.
Basically:

print "x";

I need to decide what “x” should be. “Forged”? “Hello world”? “Hey Forge!”?
