It is used to increase the amount of 1 programming language over another, or give the project a programming language (even if the project isn't programming related) + +Project language files can be written in any language that [GitHub](https://github.com) will highlight on the code percentage section (such as Python (blue), JavaScript (yellow), HTML (orange) and more) This discludes markdown, xml, svg, rst, mediawiki, yaml, ini, and many more types. + +Project language files are just a decoration, they are completely separate from the project. Removing them should not (and will not) affect functionality. Project language files are always placed at the root of the projects directory. + +The syntax goes as follows: + +1. `// Start of script` (line) + +2. Comment with the program output + +3. Normal programming language headers and imports (`#include`, `int main()`, `etc`) + +4. An output statement with the same output as 1 (above) + +5. Commented file info + +6. `// End of script (line)` + +For python projects, or projects with input/output, this is how it goes: + +1. `# Start of script` (line) + +2.

Exit condition output input (ie: `noMore = input("Press [ENTER] key to quit")` ) + +6. Quit string for when any input is given, that stays on the screen until the window closes (usually: `print("The program has now been closed. If the window is still open, try pressing the close button. If this doesn't work, end the process/task with a task manager/process manager")` ) + +7. Commented file info + +8. `# End of script` (line) + +For languages that let you title the program (such as Eiffel, FORTRAN, BASIC, and many others) the program name is usually written as `projectLanguageFile`, `languageFile`, or something else that is similar, as follows: + +1. `// Start of script` (line) + +2. Comment with the program output + +3. Normal programming language headers and imports (`#include`, `int main()`, `etc`) + +4. Program name (`appName = "projectLanguageFile"`) + +5. An output statement with the same output as 1 (above) + +6. Commented file info + +7. `// End of script` (line) + +The syntax is written differently depending on the programming language, but it always follows this order. + +The comment for a project language file is usually related to a pun or something related to the name of the project, or what the project is mostly written in. Some examples being: + +> The Tiny Tower image repo is written in **Eiffel**, as it is the only programming language I know based off a tower (like the **Eiffel** tower) + +> My battery image repository is written in **Assembly**, as batteries typically require **assembly**. + +> My mountain image repository is written in **C**, as I can **C** (see) the mountain from my house + +> My AdVenture Capitalist image repository is written in **C++**, as **C++** has classes, capitalism also has economic classes. In reverse, my AdVenture Communist image repository is written in **C**, as **C** was originally a classless language, and Communism doesn't have economical classes. + +However, sometimes I can't come up with a pun. Some exceptions have been made for this: + +> Projects related to a farm or ranch are normally written in **Vala**. + +> Projects that are for something I don't like too much are written in languages I don't like that much, such as **Go** (2009 language by Google) + +This is all the info you need to know about the project language file system by Sean Patrick Myrick (seanpm2001) + +*** + +## File info + +File type: `Markdown (*.md)` + +File version: `1 (Wednesday, December 23rd 2020 at pm)` + +Line count (including blank lines and compiler line): ` ` + +***
