Are you joking right now? I was critizised choosing that name because of the achronym (ASS) previously. Changing the name would also break the philosophy behind the 'Awesome' tool chain, so I am definitely not going to do that.

Thanks guys, the poll is now officially closed. I can't close it explicitly, because Pokecommunity does not allow me to. Just keep in mind I won't count any votes after now.

1. No #org @bull****. Not really accurate and miserable readability. ASE uses python/C/C++-like labels that are easy to use:
   Comparison: https://hastebin.com/nomivemema.rb
2. Inline stuff. As can be seen in the examples above, pretty much everything can be written in one single line now. Messages can be inlined by simply putting the message in "Quotes", big lists such as movements or items can be put in [brackets]. Note that not everything needs to necessarily inlined. You can still use extra labels, if you desire to do so.
3. Conditional branches. Bored of doing compare VARIABLE XYZ and if CONDITION goto LABEL? Me too, that's why I decided to get rid of this (you can still use it, though) and "invent" inline-blocks. The compiler behind this will automatically convert the snippet to compare, if and 2 auto-generated labels.
4. Loops. You won't need loops apart from minigames and similar very often, but they can be quite useful. ASE will support for and while loops.
5. Variable juggling. You can now easily operate with variables, without calling setvar, addvar and subvar all the time. I am still unsure about the syntax, but here is a first design idea:

Looks awesome, can't wait for it.
As for the variables, I'd got with a simpler identifier like var, getting rid of parentheses and money symbol.
I'd prefer something like that:

Code:

var_0x8000 = 5
var_8000 = 5
var8000 = 5

This could be applied to flags as well.

Code:

flag_513 = 1
if (flag513):
     flag_514 = 0

An option to add your own commands or modify existing ones would be also cool.

I'd also like more complex macros, so similarly to XSE, stuff like:

Code:

#define PKMN_WEEDLE 12

but also

Code:

#define GET_EVS (callasm 0x807070 | 1)

Another feature could be better control and error handling, there could be an ini with various stuff like number of usable vars and flags, so the compiler would throw an error upon doing:

Code:

checkflag(0xFE01)

I think one thing that could help, especially new people, is giving warnings on not ending applymovements(so 0xFF as the last movement byte) and pokemart lists. And since we're with applymovement cmd, pls add usable macros to it. It would be much much easier to script:

Code:

MOVE_RIGHT
MOVE_LEFT
JUMP_UP
EXCL_MARK
END_MOVEMENT

More warnings in general. There were times when i accidentally forgot about something or made a stupid typo that resulted in an hour debugging session. :P Examples are:
- using callasm with an address that's not + 1(or actually that's not | 1)
- not having end at the end of the script
- not having return statement on a label that is called
- no waitstate after command that requires one
- using a command that has no effect in Fire Red or in Emerald

And please add syntax highlighting. :P
