Emojicode  

Emojicode is an open source, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language consisting of emojis. It features Object-Orientation, Optionals, Generics and Closures.

🏁 Getting Started

To learn more about the language and get started quickly visit Emojicode’s documentation.

You can easily install Emojicode from our stable prebuilt binaries. See Installing Emojicode for instructions.

We highly recommend to follow Emojicode’s Twitter account @Real_Emojicode to stay up with the latest.

🔨 Building from source

The following instructions apply only to the code in the master branch, which is not stable. Check out the 0.5 branch for stable code.

Building locally

Prerequisites (versions are recommendations):

• clang and clang++ 5.0.1 or gcc and g++ 7.2
• CMake 3.5.1+ and (preferably) Ninja
• LLVM 5.0.1
• Python 3.5.2+ for testing

Steps:

1. Clone Emojicode (or download the source code and extract it) and navigate into it:

   git clone https://github.com/emojicode/emojicode
   cd emojicode

2. Create a build directory and run CMake in it:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -GNinja

   You can of course also run CMake in another directory or use another build system than Ninja. Refer to the CMake documentation for more information.

3. Build the Compiler and Real-Time Engine:

   ninja

4. You can now test Emojicode:

   ninja tests

5. The binaries are ready for use! You can the perform a magic installation right away

   ninja magicinstall

   or just package the binaries and headers properly

   ninja dist

   To create a distribution archive you must call the dist script yourself (e.g. python3 ../dist.py .. archive).

Building in Docker container

This repository comes with two Dockerfiles DockerfileClang and DockerfileGCC, which are used by our continuous integration service. However, you can also use them to build Emojicode.

Prerequisites:

• Docker

Steps:

1. Clone Emojicode (or download the source code and extract it) and navigate into it:

   git clone https://github.com/emojicode/emojicode
   cd emojicode

2. Build and create a container

   docker build -f DockerfileClang -t emojicode_clang .
   docker create --name emojicontainer -ti emojicode_clang bash

3. Start and enter the container:

   docker start -ai emojicontainer

4. You can now build Emojicode:

   mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && ninja && ninja tests
