Hello, 🙂

I created a new language called FuncSug. Its purpose is to make GUI programming in the browser easier and so game programming. The facility consists on eliminating asynchronism: In FuncSug, the code is no longer managed by an implicit/explicit global loop (I don't speak about implementation).

I intend, if I have time, to implement it for Godot as well. In FuncSug, the first tutorial of Godot would be roughly coded as this:

func showMessage(p_message):
    parallel exitWith branch 2 ||
        showIn(p_message, $MessageLabel)
    ||
        waitSeconds(2)

parallel ||
    while true:
        # Start of game
        parallel exitWith branch 2 ||
            showMessage('Dodge the\nCreeps')
        ||
            waitSeconds(1)
            awaitPressed($StartButton)
        get_tree().call_group(&"mobs", &"queue_free")
        score := 0
        $Player.start($StartPosition.position)
        
        # Middle of game
        parallel exitWith branch 1 ||
            awaitSignal('hit')
        ||
            while true:
                playSoundFile('House In a Forest Loop.ogg')
        ||
            showMessage('Get Ready')
            parallel ||
                while true:
                    waitSeconds(1)
                    score += 1
            ||
                while true:
                    waitSeconds(0.5)
                    callgd spawnMob()
        
        # End of game
        parallel ||
            showMessage('Game Over')
        ||
            playSoundFile('gameover.wav')
||
    while true:
        await score
        $ScoreLabel.text := score

The 'player.gd' and 'mob.gd' files would be keeped as they are. The "_on_MobTimer_timeout" function would be renamed as "spawnMob" and moved to 'mob.gd'. The timers wouldn't be needed any more.

Can you tell me what you think about it?
