Loops

Tick loops

In PPL, for updating every tick, pewpew.add_update_callback is used. Hybroid Live wraps it in a tick statement.

tick {
  Pewpew:Print("I am printed every tick!")
}

It is possible to create a tick statement with a time variable.

tick with time {
  Pewpew:Print(time .. " has elapsed")
}

While loops

In Hybroid Live and PPL while loops are discouraged. However, you can still use them if you want or need to.

while true {
  Pewpew:Print("Running infinitely and as fast as possible!")
}

Repeat loops

Repeat loops are simple for loops.

repeat 10 {
  Pewpew:Print("Hybroid Live is awesome!")
}

It is possible to create a repeat loop with an iteration variable.

repeat 10 with index {
  Pewpew:Print("This is " .. index .. "th iteration!") // -> This is 1th iteration!
}

You can also specify the skip amount and the range, just like in Lua.

repeat by 2 from 4 to 10 with index {
  Pewpew:Print("This is " .. index .. "th iteration!") // -> This is 4th iteration!
}

For loops

for loops are designed for advanced iterations.

let fruits = ["banana", "kiwi", "apple", "pear", "cherry"]

for index, fruit in fruits {
  Pewpew:Print(fruit .. " at index " .. ToString(index))
}

You also have the option to ignore one of the variables by leaving a discard identifier (_) in there.

let fruits = ["banana", "kiwi", "apple", "pear", "cherry"]

for _, fruit in fruits {// ignores the index
  Pewpew:Print(fruit)
}

for index in fruits {// ignores the value
  Pewpew:Print(index)
}
