P+
[b]
In reality the P+ language is basically an extension to the PPL language to help with code maintenance and comprehensibility.

I'm just not a fan of pre-processors. If it was a standalone language, I'd use it.

PrimePlus (P+) now dose pre-calculations
This is useful for reducing the size and memory used by your PPL program.

eg.

Code:

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 320
var m:my_variable = #[SCREEN_WIDTH / (8 / 2)]:0;

PPL

Code:

LOCAL m:=80;

UPDATE: 1.7.1.075

NEW! Improved Structs for version 1.7.1

Previously in P+, defining a struct for a function parameter was not allowed, unlike for variables. However, starting from version 1.7.1, you can now define a struct for a function parameter just as you would for a variable.

NOTE: When defining a struct for a parameter, ensure the parameter has an alias. This alias must be used consistently when defining and using the struct.

Code:

struct Color
    r[1];
    g[2];
    b[3];
end;
MyFunction(c:color)
begin
    struct Color color;
    return RGB(color.r, color.g, color.b);
end
