CookLang - A mock programing language

Coocklang is a mock programing language made with C# just for fun, sintaxis is similar to ASM.

Features

• Custom actions and commands
• Turing complete

TODO

• More examples
• Unity implementation

Examples

The project contains 3 different examples

• Factorial: y'know 5! = 1x2x3x4x5
• Fibonacci: like the bunnies, 1,1,2,3,5,8...
• Unity integration: This script makes a rigidbody to jump every x seconds, useful for a modding system

How it works

Just like the basic turing machine, we have an pointer that moves arround the code, every line is an action, Every acction has a name, like 'print' or 'operation' the rest of the line is the "Argument". Every line must end with a semicolon ";" and every code must end with the end command

end

the commands are not case sensitive

Print

This command shows something in the console

print Hello world;

the command also can print a variable, but lets talk about that later

print {myVariable};

Jump

The pointer moves top to bottom for default, but you can change the flow by the command

jump +1;

the argument of jump can be a number like 1, 5 or 99, that means that the pointer will move to that line, but the argument cant also be a number with sign, that means the pointer will move to the current line plus (or minus) the number. Also exist the Jumpto command.

jumpto myZone;

This command is like a jump but instead of jump to a specific line, jumps to a zone

zone myZone;

A zone is a specific line of the code where the pointer can jump easily

Variables

You can set or modify a variable just like this

assign variableName Value of the variable;

There are some reserved variable names like "Temporal", this variable keeps the value of an operation, like this

operation {variable1} / 10 ;
assign operationResult {Temporal};

Comments

The line of code that starts with a # or any other special character will be ignored, like.

# This is a comment, will be ignored by the compiler;
@ But still must end with ;

Conditinals

Like almost every language, this one have if statements, but this works a little different, this works like this

#x is 16
ir {{x} < 15} jumpto 1;
print this will not be printed;
print this WILL be printed;

thats a medium complex example, a simpler statement could be

if true jumpto 3;
print this will not be printed;
print this will not be printed;
print this will not be printed;
print this WILL be printed;

but the if statement can be as complex you want

assign x 20;
if {{{x} >= 15} and (not{{x} = 20}}) jumpto 1;
print not will be printed;
print will be printed;

just some rules:

• you cant not make aritmetic operations in if statements
• every variable must be called inside this brackets { }
• same thing with comparations
• the valid comparations are =, !=, <, >, >=, <=
• every boolean statement (except the most general) must be inside a parentesys
• the valid booleans operation are and, or, not

How to use

The language is increidible simple to use, you can use it from C# itself.

From a file

To run a file code you can type this on the shell

dotnet run -o /path/path/myfile.cl

or if you compile the proyect

dotnet cooklang.dll -o /path/path/myfile.cl

C# Use

Just add Cooklang to your project, then import Cooklang like this.

using CookLang;

To use it just create a new compiler (indeed is an interpreter but... you know) and run it.

var compiler = new CookCompiler(code);
compiler.Run();

You can also add new actions and initial variables to the compiler like this

var customEvents = new Dictionary<string, Action<CookCompiler, string>>();
customEvents.Add("MyCustomAction", MyFunction);
//Or just
customEvents.Add("MyOtherCustomAction", (m, args)=>{
    Console.WriteLine(args + " foo");
});

var customVariables = new Dictionary<string, string>();
customVariables.Add("myVariable", jumpTime.ToString());

var compiler = new CookCompiler(code, customVariables, customEvents);
compiler.Run();

You also can execute the code line by line with this

var sw = true;
var compiler = new CookCompiler(code);
while(sw)
{
    cook.NextStep();
    sw = cook.running;
    foo();
}

This proyect was totally handcrafted by me, so the licence is MIT, use it as you want.
