RedCode Programming Language

RedCode is a Python-based programming language where all commands start with "red" and require semicolons after each statement.

Installation & Usage

python redcode.py demo.red

Syntax

• All files must have .red extension
• Every statement must end with a semicolon ;
• All functions start with red
• Comments start with #

🚀 External Modules with Auto-Wrapping

RedCode can import Python modules and automatically creates "red"-prefixed wrappers:

# HTTP Requests
redexternal requests;
response = redget("https://httpbin.org/json");
redprint("Status:", response["status_code"]);
redprint("Data:", response["text"]);

# JSON processing
redexternal json;
data = redloads('{"name": "RedCode", "version": 1.0}');
redprint("Name:", data["name"]);
json_string = reddumps(data);

# Time functions
redexternal time;
redprint("Waiting 2 seconds...");
redsleep(2);
redprint("Current time:", redtime());

# Random numbers
redexternal random;
number = redrandint(1, 100);
choices = redlist("apple", "banana", "cherry");
choice = redchoice(choices);
redprint("Random choice:", choice);

Supported Modules with Auto-Wrapping:

• requests: redget(), redpost(), redput(), reddelete(), redpatch()
• json: redloads(), reddumps(), redload(), reddump()
• time: redsleep(), redtime(), redstrftime(), redstrptime()
• random: redrandint(), redchoice(), redshuffle(), redrandom()
• datetime: rednow(), redtoday(), redstrftime()
• base64: redb64encode(), redb64decode()
• hashlib: redmd5(), redsha1(), redsha256()

Core Functions

Input/Output

• redprint(...) - Print to console
• redinput(prompt) - Get user input

Data Types & Conversion

• redtype(obj) - Get object type

String Functions

• redupper(s) - Convert to uppercase
• redlower(s) - Convert to lowercase
• redstrip(s) - Remove whitespace
• redsplit(s, delimiter) - Split string
• redjoin(delimiter, iterable) - Join strings
• redreplace(s, old, new) - Replace substring

List Functions

• redlist(...) - Create list
• redappendlist(lst, item) - Append item
• redpop(lst, index) - Remove item
• redsort(lst, reverse) - Sort list
• redsorted(lst, reverse) - Get sorted copy

File Operations

• redread(filename) - Read file
• redwrite(filename, content) - Write file
• redappend(filename, content) - Append to file
• redexists(path) - Check if exists
• redlistdir(path) - List directory

Examples

Basic Example

# Define variables
name = "RedCode";
version = 1.0;

# Output
redprint("Welcome to", name, version);

# Create list
numbers = redlist(5, 2, 8, 1, 9);
sorted_nums = redsorted(numbers);
redprint("Sorted:", sorted_nums);

HTTP API Example

# API Request
redexternal requests;
redexternal json;

response = redget("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");
redprint("Status:", response["status_code"]);

if response["status_code"] == 200:
    data = redloads(response["text"]);
    redprint("Title:", data["title"]);

Syntax Highlighting

For better syntax highlighting in Kiro:

1. Open a .red file
2. Click "Plain Text" in the bottom right
3. Select "Python" for similar highlighting

Or use the build script:

python build-syntax.py

Demo File

Run the demo:

python redcode.py demo.red

The demo.red file showcases all RedCode features including external modules with automatic red-wrappers.
