Emojicode is an open source, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language consisting of emojis. It features Object-Orientation, Optionals, Generics and Closures.
To learn more about the language and getting started visit http://www.emojicode.org/docs.
You can easily install Emojicode from our stable prebuilt binaries: http://www.emojicode.org/docs/guides/install.html.
Follow Emojicode’s Twitter account @Real_Emojicode.
Contributions are welcome! A contribution guideline will be setup soon.
If you need to build Emojicode from source you can of course also do this. We, however, recommend you to install Emojicode from the prebuilt binaries if possible.
Prerequisites:
- clang and clang++ 3.4 or newer, or
- gcc and g++ 4.8 or newer
- GNU Make
- SDL2 (libsdl2-dev) to compile the SDL package
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-devon Debian/Ubuntubrew install SDL2on OS X
Steps:
-
Clone Emojicode (or download the source code and extract it) and navigate into it:
git clone https://github.com/emojicode/emojicode cd emojicodeBeware of, that the master branch contains development code which probably contains bugs. If you want to build the latest stable release make sure to check it out first:
git checkout v0.2.0 -
Then simply run
make
to compile the Engine, the compiler and all default packages.
You may need to use a smaller heap size on older Raspberry Pis. You can specify the heap size in bytes when compiling the engine:
make HEAP_SIZE=128000000
The default heap size is 512MB. It’s also possible to change the default
package search path by setting DEFAULT_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY. As for example:
make DEFAULT_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY=/opt/strange/place
-
You can now either install Emojicode and run the tests:
[sudo] make install && make testsor package the binaries for distribution:
make dist
After the command is done you will find a directory and a tarfile
in builds named after your platform, e.g. Emojicode-0.2.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.
