This project consists of a compiler (awoocc), linker (awoold), simple object file dumper (awoodump) and an emulator (awoomu) for the programming language Awoo.
Awoo is an ease-of-use first language similar with it's syntax to Go, making it easy to port existing Go code into the language.
So far consisting only of basic features, the language lacks of complex implementation you would see in other languages.
The code (.awoo) is compiled into separate object files (.awoobj) which are then linked together in a linker producing an executable (.awooxe).
By default these steps are separeted into 3 directories, src for .awoo source code, obj for .awoobj object files and bin for .awooxe executables.
This executable is further loaded into an emulator, which runs the code as instructed.
Instruction set with which the code is compiled is RISC-V and it's extensions (even though my implementation is kinda scuffed).
I wanted to learn some more about how things work low-level and besides having own compiler chain is kinda based so yeah.
You need MinGW (64-bit version) and a Windows computer (you're free to try on Linux, it should be the same lol).
In addition, you need SDL libraries (basic ones and font) pasted into your mingw64 directory.
For starters, you might want to clone the example repo (prints text on screen) into your documents directory under .../Documents/awoo.
If you want to change location of the files, you're free to change AWOODIR variable inside Makefile to whatever you like.
A configuration file named emu.json (under your AWOODIR/config directory) allows for setting clockrate of emulator.
