CODE is a simple yet very capable programming language designed to introduce young students to the basic concepts and fundamentals of programming. CODE is a statically-typed and purely interpreted language with its syntax and grammar loosely resembling early BASIC.
Want to start making simple programs using CODE? Please refer to the docs for the full list of features available.
CODE is currently in its alpha phase of its development stage, during which time pre-built packages of the final product may not yet be available.
-
Clone the repository using Git Bash, GitHub Desktop, or through the VCS in your preferred C# IDE.
-
Build the project within your IDE.
-
Locate the executable output file of the project after the build has finished. It's usually located in
{PROJECT_DIR}/bin/Debug/net7.0/cde.exeorbin/Release/net7.0/cde.exe
-
Open up the command prompt within the directory where the executable is located and start interpreting CODE source codes using
cde [file_name]orcde.exe [file_name]
-
Alternatively, you can open the executable directly where you could interact with the interpreter in real-time (REPL Mode).
-
Optionally, to immediately use it on the command prompt as a direct command, you can add the directory of the executable to the PATH variables in your system.
We are still in the alpha phase! Please report bugs and issues on the Issues page of the project to get them addressed as soon as possible!
