marble programming language #295

i said that i wanted to just no-context my current project (Marble), but i think i am ready to share

it is a programming language. i want to make everything that javascript was for me when i started programming, but as something even more accessible that can more freely do i/o

it is supposed to be like Scratch in how it looks, but i want to make a large standard library (TLS + encryption, stats, linear algebra, variable-length array and other common data bois), basically native SDL2 support, and because of the 2d nature i also want to have math expressions as math expressions instead of function calls (and possibly some OpenGL-style vectors), semantic arguments, and something which serves the purpose that regex does

i will probably need library calls for concurrency or memory allocation, i guess.

idk if i'll get to all that, but goals

in its current state, i was able to compile a very simple program which set a byte in memory and then exited (Marble -> Nasm -> ELF), and that is why i am sharing this

Marble, the Language of Programming (MLP)

i want to get rid of the tables for the semantic arguments thing

what is the script that the characters this uses are from? also, do you have any links to further information or implementations of this, it looks interesting

the script is something yeeted together by myself because i was using opengl and didn't want to figure out font rendering. various parts of a glyph each correspond to one or more bits, and each glyph corresponds to 7 bits.

i think, that from most significant bit to least significant,

[1 bit for no middle triangle] [1 bit for middle triangle] [1 bit for x-flip] [2 bits in top shape] [2 bits in bottom shape]

i still haven't learned what each character looks like, which makes attempting to program in it difficult. i might make it simpler (4 bits per character or smth)

i don't think it would hurt to make my implementation public, but it is far from finished and, after i posted this, i may have broken the only things that were working

i don't really have other informations

this looks very interesting. what does the code in the image do?

looking at it, i don't think that the code in the image compiles

the first block is a function signature, and i haven't yet implemented function signatures, and the second one might set a variable to itself, but i haven't implemented setting variables to variables
