Make V1.3


Make v1.3 — Cleaner Syntax. Faster Coding. Better Experience.

Make is a tiny, ultra-flexible scripting language and language-creation engine. This release focuses on readability, workflow, and polish. Project started 12 November 2025.


✨ What’s new in v1.3

  • New keyword: skipTo — replaces skipAfter with a clearer, shorter command for skipping to markers.
  • Updated logo — background changed from cyan to a sleek black for a more professional look.
  • Editor improvements
    • New Compile / Run button — compile instantly without scrolling.
    • Shortcut keywords for faster typing.
  • Updated example programs — v1.3 examples added to the editor and docs (simple conditions, skipTo usage, etc.).
  • Stability and UI polish.

📘 Quick example (v1.3)

comment: Make v1.3 (simple condition)
show \scriptname  is running.... \nextline
a = 10
b = 11

skipTo end if_not a = b
show \a  = \b \nextline
end

skipTo end if a = b
show \a  ≠ \b \nextline
end

show \scriptname  ends with 0 error

This demonstrates the new skipTo control flow and built-in escapes like \scriptname and \nextline.


🔧 Android features

  • toast <text> — show Android toasts (user behaviour)
  • switchOnTorch / switchOffTorch — control the device torch

🧩 Power features

  • Extensible keyword system: add custom keywords & string macros from Java (developer API).
  • Core toggle: disableCore / enableCore — disable built-in behaviours to build a new language on top of Make.
  • Per-Runner storage and custom behaviours — each runner keeps its own state (perfect for sandboxing and experiments).

📥 How to try

  • Download the editor from this page and open it on your Android device.
  • Type an example into the editor and press the Compile / Run button.
  • If your device blocks APK installs, try a desktop version or contact me for a web demo.
