Skate

A custom programming language written in Python.

How?

It's basically string manipulation. I have no idea what lexers or tokens are in the programming language-making world, so basically I strip, split, replace, etc. strings.

Setup

Make sure you have Python 3.7 or higher.

Step 1: Get the source code

You do this in two ways: The first is to download the source code directly from GitHub. You can do this by clicking on the Code button, pressing Download ZIP then extracting it.

The second (and easier option in my opinion) is to clone the repository. You do need Git for this. In your terminal, type:

$ git clone https://github.com/TechStudent11/Skate.git

This will clone the repository to your disk.

Step 2: Wait, how do even run this thing?!

It's simple. Just run run.py against the file you want to run. For example, if you want to run the test.sk file in the repo, type this into the terminal (while in the source code directory):

$ python run.py test.sk

This will run test.sk

Contributing

Contributing can be as simple as opening an issue for a bug or feature request. If you want to implement a feature or fix a bug, try it (even though my code is very messy at the moment) and open a PR.
