Missing features

This page lists notable features of Ink which are currently missing in inkling. Some may be implemented, others will be more difficult.

Variable assignment

Assigning new values to variables in the script.

~ rank = "Capitaine"
~ coins = coins + 4

Dividing the script into several files and including them in the preamble of the main script.

INCLUDE château.ink
INCLUDE gloomwood.ink

Using /* and */ markers to begin and end multiline comments.

Line one /* We can use multiline comments
            to split them over several lines, 
            which may aid readability. */
Line two

Using multiline blocks to create larger if-else or switch statements.

{condition:
    if condition content
- else:
    else this content
}

{
    - condition1:
        if condition 1 content
    - condition2:
        else if condition 2 content
    - else:
        else this content
}

Add labels to choices and gather points to refer and divert to them.

*   (one) Choice
*   (two) Choice
-   (gather) Gather

Calling various types of functions from the script.

Support for the pre-defined functions of Ink.

~ result = RANDOM(1, 6)
~ result = POW(3, 2)

Defining functions in the script to print text, modify variables and return calculations.

// Modifying referenced values
=== function add(ref x, value) ===
~ x = x + value

// Modifying global variables
VAR coins = 0
=== function add_wealth(v) ===
~ coins = coins + v

// Writing text 
=== function greet(person) ===
Greetings, {person}!

Begin able to call external Rust functions from the script.
