For example:
number x
= x 100
string s
= s (varname x)
print "%\n" s ; prints "x"
= `(tovar s) 777 ; x is now 777What Do you think of some cheap reflection?

Some internal things like vector locations will return “-booboo-” and will be an error trying to set them, though.
-
By the way everything like labels, functions, and variables are all “variables” which would work with this.
-
There is also the case of the variables being out of scope, like if you call a function and pass it a variable name in a string and that var doesn’t exist in the function, tovar should set the pointer to nullptr and I’ll probably leave it to crash…

I think it makes sense to leave varname out, but tovar could be useful. You could have a json/text/ini file that scripts your game.
