STRUDEL

Strudel is an educational (for me) language. It's purpose is to be a language whose syntax is similar to assembly. It is compiled into bytecode and then run by an interpreter.

Dependencies

• Linux - the program uses some linux-specific system calls, and most probably won't work on any other OS. I don't have any other OS, so maybe it does.
• 64 bit architecture - I'm not entirely sure what will happen if you don't use a 64 bit arch.
• gcc - I used make instead of cmake, so you're going to need gcc.
• (A terminal that supports ANSI escape codes - this isn't exactly necessary, I don't think. You can check this by going onto your terminal and executing:

  $ echo -e "\e[31;1mThis text should be red and bold\e[0m"

  The text should be red and bold. If it's not, Strudel's error messages may look weird.)

Downloading and building

First, clone the repository. Then you'll need to compile the program:

$ git clone https://github.com/Shlurp/Strudel
$ cd Strudel
$ make

This will:

• Create clone this repository into a directory named Strudel.
• Enter that directory
• Compile the program

You will get two compiled programs: stru and cstru.

• cstru is the compiler for Strudel. It converts Strudel source code into bytecode.
• stru executes the bytecode compiled by cstru. To check if they are working correctly, execute the following:

$ ./cstru demos/hello_world.asm
$ ./stru a.out

You should get a bright bold yellow message "Hello World!". If you don't, check that you have all of the dependencies.
