Converting external Python script to BooScript

From what I have seen so far, it seems that BooScript (.boo) and Python (.py) are relatively similar. My first language was Python, but for Unity I have been using C#, not Boo. I made an external Python map generator that outputs a matrix of points with different altitudes and terrain types, and I would like to import this into my game in Unity. However, I didn't use MonoBehaviour in my mapgen.py script. I have several classes with constructors using __init__ which seem not to register in Unity. Also, I can't seem to figure out how to use the BooScript debugger. Does anyone know how to convert Python to BooScript, and what the primary differences between the two languages are? I worked on my Python script for several weeks and would hate to have to do it from scratch again using C#/JS/Boo. Thank you for all your help!

 

1) boo is technically no longer supported. The compiler technically still exists (well in 5 it does, not sure about 2017), but it's considered obsolete.

2) Since it's obsolete, as well as when it was active the boo userbase was tiny, there's not really anyone around here that still uses it.

3) As for differences between boo & python, there are several articles on the internet. Here's one specifically from the boo github:
https://github.com/boo-lang/boo/wiki/Gotchas-for-Python-Users

4) One of the major hiccups you might have is that of the library. I don't know what libraries you used in your python script, but I doubt it accesses anything .Net or UnityEngine. That's the biggest critical difference is that boo uses the .net and Unity libraries. Not the standard python libraries. They're similar in syntax, not in library.

 

Boo was removed. Not sure how far back you need to go to find a version with support. And as said above, it's not Python and you won't be able to use any libraries which actually make Python worth a damn.

 

Ah, okay. Would you suggest doing it all again in C#/JS? Thanks for the info, I was kind of wondering why there was so little information on Boo.

 

I would definitely suggest rewriting it in C#.

What's the script look like? Can you share it?

 

Thank you for the response. Shame Python isn't supported. Looking back, I believe all the Boo options disappeared when I switched from Unity 2017.1 to Unity 2017.3. Thanks!

 

The original Python version outputed the result to terminal.
Here is a shortened version (the whole thing is several hundred lines):

Code (Boo):

1.  
2. # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
3. import random
4. import codecs
5. import math
6. class city:
7.     # SOME STATIC VARIABLES
8.     def make_name():
9.         # GENERATES RANDOM CITY NAME
10. class bcolors:
11.     # USED FOR ANSI ESCAPE CODES
12. city_name_list = []
13. class tile ():
14.     def __init__(self, tile_type, dist, height, w, h, culture_point):
15.          # A BUNCH OF DATA (ALTITUDE, ETC)
16.     def getChar(self, isColor):
17.          # OUTPUTS CORRESPONDING ALTITUDE CHARACTER
18. def generateWhiteNoise():
19.     # GENERATES MAP MATRIX
20. print(bcolors.NORMAL)
21. uniform = float(input("Uniform: "))
22. width = int(input("Width: "))
23. file_name = str(input("File name (without suffix): "))
24. continents = int(input("Continents (max 8): "))
25. if continents > 8:
26.     continents = 8
27. cities = str(input("Cities? y/n: "))
28. if cities == "y":
29.     cities = True
30. else:
31.     cities = False
32. file = codecs.open("{}.map".format(file_name), "w", encoding="utf8")
33. noise = [[r for r in range(width)] for i in range(width)]
34. center_points = []
35. for x in range(1, continents):
36.     center_points.append(centerPoint(width, noise, x))
37. generateWhiteNoise()
38. print(bcolors.NORMAL)
39. print("The following map has been saved to " + file_name + ".map.")
40. print("There are " + str(len(city_name_list)) + " cities in " + file_name + ".")
41. print(", ".join(city_name_list))
42.
