TinTin enhancements

expressions

We’ve added string support to TinTin++, so that you can compare and concatenate strings. You may also use underscores and numbers in variable names. For example, $apple_1 and $1_pickle are both valid variable names.

#if

The #if command has been extended to support commands that should be executed if the expression is false. (This is equivalent to an ‘else’ directive in most programming languages.)

#alert

Pueblo supports the ability to alert the user. The user, in turn, can select their alert sound, alert volume, and can indicate a maximum for how often they wish to hear the alert. The #alert command allows a macro to trigger an alert to the user.

#name

The new #name command allows you to specify a new name for a session. This is because Pueblo sessions are not always created through the #session command, so they don’t always start out with names.

Once a session has a name, it may be manipulated with the #<session name> command without actually making the session active.

#playsound

This new command allows you to play an arbitrary sound file stored on your system.

#random

Allows you to assign a random number to a variable. Useful for making actions which don’t do the same thing every time.

#tickkey

Provides a unique key that is appended to tick events. This new commands allows you to create unique tick events which you can use to trigger actions.

#<session name> changes

Pueblo’s implementation first checks for commands before checking for #<session name> . The original TinTin++ implementation check for sessions before checking for commands. Why did we do this? Say you created a session named ‘math’. Then whenever you used the #math command, it would try to send commands to the session ‘math’, which isn’t what you want. With the Pueblo implementation, session names don’t override commands.
