SeaScript

SeaScript is a simple, typeless programming language made in C.

SeaScript is designed to be fast and reliable while maintaining the capabilities of a high-level language.

Example Program

example.ssc:

function wait(seconds) {
    decl start = time(); // UNIX time

    while ((time() - start) < seconds) {}
}

wait(10);
print("Waited 10 seconds");

To run this code:

./SeaScript.exe example.ssc

You can also generate a bytecode file like this:

./SeaScript.exe example.ssc --preserve

This will create a file example.ssb storing the bytecode which can be executed directly:

./SeaScript.exe example.ssb

Which is faster as it doesn't have to recompile the source code each time you wish to run it.

Flags

  • --version - Shows the current SeaScript version
  • --visualize-tokens - Visualizes the token stream generated by SeaScript
  • --parser-print - Pretty prints the output generated by the parser
  • --view - Used to view the instructions from a bytecode file
  • --preserve - Preserves the bytecode generated by SeaScript onto a file which can be executed
  • --benchmark - Benchmark Seascript code

Build

To build this project make sure you have GCC installed, afterwards just run:

make
