aoc-syntran
What is syntran?
Syntran is my interpretted, array-oriented language. The interpreter is written in this repo: https://github.com/JeffIrwin/syntran
See the README in the syntran repo for instructions on how to build the interpretter. You will need a Fortran compiler
After building, copy the syntran interpreter to a directory in your $PATH environment variable for convenience
Running advent of code
To run a solution for AOC, change to the directory for that day's solution and run the syntran interpretter. For example:
cd 2023/01
syntran ./main.syntran
As of 2023-12-25, you will need at least syntran version 0.0.34 to run the code here
Until 2023 day 19, 0.0.33 was sufficient. After that, the exit() fn and mixed i64/f32 operations are required
Until 2023 day 15, 0.0.29 was sufficient. Day 15 requires i32() casting characters to ASCII codes, which were added in 0.0.30
Until 2023 day 5, 0.0.27 was sufficient. Day 5 requires i32() casting and parse_i64(), which were added by 0.0.29
There are more details about which version you need for which day that I'm too lazy to document here, but just use the latest and greatest. For details, check the commits in the syntran repo
Development streams
I'm developing these solutions live on twitch. You can also watch them after the fact at this YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrWKYiD6Xr4&list=PLkNcKcm8wEj4TYgBqtaCBqKkfJsXOv49E
