qscript 0.8.0-alpha

QScript

A Simple Scripting Language.

This version is currently under development, and has several bugs, use [v0.7.4](https://github.com/Nafees10/qscript/tree/v0.7.4)

Setting it up

To add QScript to your dub package or project, run this in your dub package's directory:

dub add qscript

After adding that, look at the source/demo.d to see how to use the QScript class to execute scripts.

Getting Started

To get started on using QScript, see the following documents:

• spec/architecture.md - How qscript works under the hood. Don't bother if you wont be using advanced stuff.
• spec/libraries.md - Built in QScript libraries. // TODO write this
• spec/syntax.md - describes QScript's syntax and more.
• source/standalone.d- A demo usage of QScript in D langauage.
• examples/ - Contains some scripts showing how to write scripts.

The code is thoroughly documented. Separate documentation can be found here.

Building

QScript comes with a standalone configuration, so it can be used without being first integrated into some program as a library. You can build it using:

dub build qscript -c=standalone -b=release

You can use this executable to run scripts, inspect the generated AST for script, or the generated NaVM bytecode:

./qscript /path/to/script # execute a script

./qscript --ast /path/to/script # pretty print AST for script

./qscript --bcode /path/to/script # print NaVM bytecode for script

Features

1. Dynamic arrays
2. Static typed
3. Function overloading
4. References (pointers, but a bit simplified)
5. Structs
6. Enums
7. Global Variables
8. Importing libraries (script can be loaded as library too)

Hello World

This is how a hello world would look like in QScript. For more examples, see examples/.

import qscript_stdio;

function void main(){
	writeln ("Hello World!");
}
