Globally change variables after being used in chase expression #34

Closed adapap closed 4 years ago

adapap commented 4 years ago

Every instance of a variable needs to be changed to use the letter and no index after being seen in a chase expression. This includes imported files.

Algorithm:

Collect all variable names that are used in chase expressions in the parser
Send a set of all names to the transpiler (including from imported files)
Map the names to letters B-Z (unique for player and global variables)?
Accessing a variable first checks the chase map to determine its letter
- If the letter is not A, there is no index as the variable cannot be an array

Instead of sending the variable names, an alternative:

Add boolean property is_chased to all Var nodes
Handle assignment and evaluation of chase variables in the transpiler
