super
is a keyword used to access base class methods from within a subclass method. It is part of MiniScript's support for object-oriented programming.
Example code:
//PLANT base clasee
PLANT = new Sprite
PLANT.image = Image.create(25, 25, color.lime)
PLANT.maxGrowth = 20
PLANT.scale = 0
PLANT.grow = function
self.scale = self.scale + .1
if self.scale > self.maxGrowth then
self.scale = self.maxGrowth
return
end if
end function
//tree subclass
tree = new PLANT
tree.x = 480
tree.y = 320
tree.grow = function //trees function that would override grow within the PLANT base class
super.grow //reaches out to the PLANT base class and calls it
print "I grew!" //end of the function prints after super.grow is called.
end function
//pushes tree to default sprite display
display(4).sprites.push tree
//loop for tree.grow
while not tree.scale == tree.maxGrowth
tree.grow
wait .5
end while
