  added optional structure type variables which do not get copied into each instantiated structure :
    pixelwidth, pixelheight   <- if these contain functions and the width / height isn't explicitly defined, they get called
    expandable   <- got copied into each structure instance in the past
2007-09-10
  separated the interface code from the decker scripts and made it global
  scrollbars can now be horizontal

  SCROLLBAR works
  getStackTrace() hardcoded function added
  function calls in all mouse events can now see all enclosing displayed structures

  minor script fixes
  working on the SCROLLBAR
  fixed : a FUNCTION definition can now stand at the end of a script, even if it has no function body and no argument list
2007-09-03
  added the & operator
  changed the @ behaviour to execute implicitly again, unless the & operator is used
  removed some clutter that had accumulated in the game scripts while I was trying out different implementations of the @ operator
2007-09-02
  fixed the @ operator. it now works at least for colors
  if A contains an @ operator, then B = A will put the @ operator in B too. the operator won't be evaluated
  colors work again. looks like a few other things are botched now
2007-08-03
  FunctionCall.java now produces a helpful error message if it gets called for a value that is not a function
  fixed a number of places where script function calls didn't use the new function names
  moved the static functions from FunctionCall.java to their own class StaticScriptFunctions.java

  fps setting and mechanism added
2007-05-04
  you can set REAL_EQUAL_RANGE to some value between 0.0 and 1.0 to set the maximum difference between two real numbers which are treated as equal. If no value is set or it is not a real number, 0.000000001 is used instead
  the parser now recognizes real numbers. it rejects numbers like .5 and 5. there has to be at least one digit before and after the . like in 5.5
  expressions work with real numbers
2007-05-01
  variables can now store real numbers

2007-04-24
  bug fixed : a = LINE would save the structure type LINE in a instead of a new LINE, if the type name wasn't followed by a definition body
  SCREEN_BACKGROUND structure type added
  finished replacing colors and fonts with functions that fetch the current values for them, for easy modding
  background images of the new character screen and the home screen replaced with drawn backgrounds
