If you think PHP is weird, go look up ZZT-OOP, the scripting language from Tim Sweeney’s first game.

(No, a scripting language for game characters doesn’t need integers. If you need to count, you can do that by moving blocks around on the game board. It’s halfway between LOGO and Minecraft.)

I would expect this from Javascript :S

ZZT came out in 1991. JavaScript didn’t exist for at least four years after that.

Ah, I understand now. The expression is evaluated like this:

  • $a == 1 ? "one" : $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"
  • $a == 2 ? "two" : $a == 3 ? "three" : "other"
  • "two" ? "three" : "other"
  • "three"
