bat_c

A High-level language for matt's redstone computer with C-Like syntax

Features implemented

• Variables
• Define
• Functions
• Compare expressions
• If statements
• Scopes

WIP Features

• While loops
• Else statements

Get started

Your first option is to download the .exe from latest release and run it (under linux use wine), second option is to use bat c online

Known issues

• You can call functions like this: func( and not like this: func();
• If you try to compile this under a linux machine, when ran you'll get segmentation fault (but I think you can run it under wine)
• Expressions can only be 3-4 operators long (i'm lazy to implement more)

Example programs

Math operations (Division is not currently supported)

main {
  x; y;

  x = 20;
  y = 5 * x;
}

While loop

x;
loop {
  increment x;
  loop();
}
main {
  loop();
}

If statements

main {
  x;
  increment x;

  cmpexpr x == 1;
  if;
    x = 69;
  endif;
}

References
references are basically variables with the same variable mapping

a; b;

main {
	b = ref a;
	increment a;
	increment b;
}

Fill screen

x; y;

x_loop {
	increment x;
	cmpexpr x < 32;
	if;
		port pixel_x x;
		port pixel_y y;

		port draw_pixel;

		port buffer_screen;

		x_loop();
	endif;
}

loop {
	x = 255;
	increment y;
	cmpexpr y < 32;
	if;
		x_loop();
		loop();
	endif;
}

main {
	port clear_screen_buffer;

	decrement x;
	decrement y;

	loop();
}

Inline assembly

main {
	asm
ldi r5 42
ldi r6 69;
}
