Some years ago, I started a script engine for FP, but it's unfinished so I've decided to release some parts as standalone scripts.

Summary

Class List: a dynamic array for storing object of any kind. Very useful as you don't care of the init size, and you can insert and remove at any index.

Class Map : a key/value pair dictionnary

Class GenericTimer : a universal timer, base on only one FP Timer Object, that allow to schedule events and code. It needs class List above.

Class List : A ordered dynamic list of objects

File : util/List.vbs

Unit test file : test/ListTest.vbs

Methods (index is integer, value must be a object or struct) :
- index = addValue(value)
- set value = getValue(index)
- replaceValue index, value
- insertValue index, value
- set value = removeValue(index)
- set value = removeFirstValue()
- set value = removeLastValue()
- size = getSize()

Sample code (for a complete sample, see ListTest.vbs) :



Tips :
- You can use the List as a LIFO or FIFO stack using methods addValue(), removeFirstValue(), removeLastValue()

Class Map : A key (String) / value (Object) dictionary

File : util/Map.vbs

Unit test file : test/MapTest.vbs

Methods (key is string, value must be a object or struct) :

- index = putValue key, value
- set value = getValue(key)
- set value = removeValue(key)
- exists = isValueExist(key)
- index = getIndex(key)
- size = getSize()

faster methods by using index (so act also like a List):

- set value = getValueByIndex(index)
- set value = removeValueByIndex(index)
- replaceValueByIndex index, value
- key = getKeyByIndex(index)


Sample code (for a complete sample, see MapTest.vbs) :



Tips :
- Map must be reserved for complex needs, but are very powerfull. You can access it like a List when you have known indexes.

Class GenericTimer : A single timer for generic purpose

File : util/GenericTimer.vbs

Unit test file : test/GenericTimerTest.vbs

Methods list:

- init(timerObjectName)
- addEvent(code, delay)
- expired()

Usage :




Sample code (for a complete sample, see GenericTimerTest.vbs) :



Tips :
- Use only one Time FP object. I made it the most precise vbs could be.
- You can schedule any type of code, but calling a subroutine with argument is I think the best way to go.
- A good side effect is you can launch a code after exiting the current sub FP is running by setting a delay to 0 :

This way the startMultiBallMode subroutine will be call actually after MyKicker_Hit is completeley finished. It could avoid some conflict to delay a code after a subroutine end.
