- Get, build and start the Graffiticode host app (https://github.com/graffiticode/graffiticode).
- Clone and initialize the starter artcompiler (L0) as a new language (e.g. L1000).
$ git clone git@github.com:graffiticode/L0.git L1000$ cd L1000$ npm install
- Start your compiler as a local service to make sure that all is well.
$ cd ../L1000$ make
- Make sure everything is good.
- Paste into the code view:
"hello, world!"... - See "hello, world!" in the form view.
- Paste into the code view:
- Design a language that allows you to say things that are interesting and beautiful.
- Edit ./src/lexicon.js to define a vocabulary for that language.
- Edit ./src/compiler.js to translate the ASTs produced from GC into object code that expresses the output of that language.
- Edit ./src/viewer.js to render that object code in an interesting and beautiful way.
- Test your changes.
$ make
- Start GC as a local server.
$ cd ../graffiticode$ make
- Visit your local GC server (e.g. http://localhost:3000/lang?id=1000) to test.
- Repeat until you are have done something interesting.
