Jenny

Jenny is an interpreted stack-based procedural programming language. I was inspired to create Jenny after watching Tsoding's videos on the creation of Porth.

All Jenny source files must use the ".jen" file extension.

How to run the Jenny interpreter (as of Alpha v2.0)

1. Download the correct zip file from the releases menu
2. Run either "run.sh" (if you're on mac) or "run.bat" (if you're on Windows)

• 2.1 To run on mac, set the directory of the terminal to the folder where you saved the build for Jenny, then run the command "sh run.sh"
• 2.2 To run on windows, set the directory of the command prompt to the folder where you saved the build for Jenny, then run the command "run.bat"

3. You will be greeted with a blinking cursor once you run the startup file. Enter the file path of the ".jen" file you wish to run, then press enter
4. You will now be running the program the you specified

How to add a new feature to Jenny

1. Add the code for the instruction to the "com.src.Instructions" package
2. Add the switch-case for the instruction to the Main.java file
3. Add the entry for the amount of tokens needed for the instruction to the InstructionValues.tokens hashmap
