Getting Started

InScript — a game-focused scripting language for Python 3.10+

Installation

pip install inscript-lang

Or with game support (requires pygame):

pip install "inscript-lang[game]"

Verify installation:

inscript --version   # InScript 1.0.21

Hello World

print("Hello, InScript!")

let name = "world"
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

// Variables are typed
let x: int = 42
let pi: float = 3.14159
let greeting: string = "Hello"

First Program

Save as hello.ins and run with inscript hello.ins:

fn greet(name: string) -> string {
    return "Hello, " ++ name ++ "!"
}

let people = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
for person in people {
    print(greet(person))
}

// Output:
// Hello, Alice!
// Hello, Bob!
// Hello, Charlie!
