[WIP] Barix, the language compiled with Binary (and programmed with Lua :D)

This is a CC language i'm making. It's called Barix.

It's interpreter is coded with Lua.
It also uses file extensions and overwrites shell.run() to support it.
The compiler makes it binary (will soon use something more random like "A" = "fojsiojrtg") (Right now its not much of a compiler, it just changes every character into a binary character).

HOW TO USE:

• Run this program ONCE, it will create a program called compiler. (run the program every time you reboot, or save it as startup)
• Create a Lua program and save it as anything (don't add .bar)
• On the CraftOS Shell, type "compiler <programname>"
• Your compiled program is now in <programname>.bar! Type that in the shell to run the binary program.

This is not done as i'm still making the programming language (it uses lua right now)

If you wan't the current code, here it is, right now i'm working on the language.

Please note that after every reboot, you have to re-run the installer so the shell.run will be overwrote again.

I finished the compiler! I'll post how to use the Barix language when i'm done with it.

Added pastebin and updated the installer.

Bug fixes

1. Fixed errors in the decompiler for files with more then 1 line.

Hello, when you begin creation of the language, perhaps you would allow me too assist you in the development process of the language? I am proficient in Lua, and multiple other languages.

I'm not sure if you understand the concept of a binary compiled programming language.
It isn't just simply replacing characters with their binary encoded counterpart.

That was only a test. It won't be binary in the full version.

Hey dude, when are we going to be designing the syntax for this? Should I get to work on the syntax? I've built a command line interpreter that saves it down to a file in lua. Is this going to be a language similar to C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, anything?

Here's some ideas that I came up with:

=============
LUA EXAMPLE
=============
function moveTurtle()
print("Moving Turtle")
turtleState = "Moving"
turtle.forward()
turtle.select(4)
    rednet.send(3,"Hi")
end
a = 2
b = 3
c = a + b
moveTurtle()
-- A Comment
=============
BARIX EXAMPLE (Cmd Line)
=============
:moveTurtle
echo Moving Turtle
set turtleState "Moving"
turtle move forward
turtle inventory 4
    netsend 3 "hi"
moveTurtle:
set a 2
set b 3
math c = a + b
;moveTurtle;
REM A Comment
=============
BARIX EXAMPLE (Elaborate)
=============
function moveTurtle[]
write 1,1,"Moving Turtle"
var = turtleState
  turtleState = "Moving"
turtle[move[forward]]
turtle[inventory[4]]
    send[3["Hi"]]
endfunction
var = a, b, c
a = 2
b = 3
c = a + b
call moveTurtle[]

Just some ideas :P/>/>

Hmm, do you have a server where we can work on it? I don't have Skype or a microphone.

(you forgot to reset the turtle state)

I don't have a server, sorry man, and we're in different time zones. Here's code for an interpreter that I've been working on, maybe we could run each line of code through something like this for running it line-by-line, or for translating it:

function sepInt()
line = 0
data = { }
state = "running"
table = { }
varnum = 0
variables = { }
repeat
input = nil
line = line + 1
print("Line: "..line)
input = read()
table = stringutils.seperate(input," ")
if table[1] == "print" then print(table[2]) end
if table[1] == "broadcast" then rednet.broadcast(table[2]) end
if table[1] == "send" then rednet.send(table[2],table[3]) end
if table[1] == "openport" then rednet.open("top") rednet.open("left") rednet.open("right") rednet.open("back") end
if table[1] == "receive" then rednet.receive(table[2]) end
if table[1] == "eject" then disk.eject(table[2]) end
until state ~= "running"
end
sepInt()

This is just a tiny, execute-by-line interpreter, but you could make it with things like this (and yes, it does require the StringUtilsAPI, because IT ROCKS :P/>/>):
if table[1]=="commandtag" then file.write(filename,"Lua Version Here")

Also, a file-writing one here:

function sepInt()
line = 0
data = { }
state = "running"
table = { }
varnum = 0
variables = { }
repeat
input = nil
line = line + 1
print("Line: "..line)
input = read()
table = stringutils.seperate(input," ")
if table[1] == "print" then f.writeLine("print("..table[2]..")") end
if table[1] == "broadcast" then f.writeLine("rednet.broadcast("..table[2]..")") end
if table[1] == "send" then f.writeLine("rednet.send("..table[2]..","..table[3]..")") end
if table[1] == "openport" then f.writeLine("rednet.open('top') rednet.open('left') rednet.open('right') rednet.open('back')") end
if table[1] == "receive" then f.writeLine("rednet.receive("..table[2])..")" end
if table[1] == "eject" then f.writeLine("disk.eject("..table[2])..")" end
until state ~= "running"
f.close()
end
function intro()
print("File to save code too:")
input = read()
f=io.open(input,"a")
sepInt()
end
intro()

How would you execute the binary program? If you were just gonna re-translate it back into Lua, you are missing the point of compiling to a binary program. The contents of these are supposed to be run by the hardware, andnot translated into another language, which is then ran though C(in this case Java), which is then compiled, and then run. That is pointless. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

I think that we should just write a compiler, forget the binary part, as mad said above, it is kind of pointless. A compiler from some language into Lua would be much easier, and so much more effective.

I would love to help on the translator though. I think it will be very interesting to see how this turns out.

The binary thing was only temporary. I said that in another thread, and it won't be like this when it's done.

Ahh, ok. That's pretty useful :P/>/> I just finished making RedScript, a 50+ cmd interpreter/language, that I think may be a good basis for this. I'll be posting it up on the forums soon.

Tommyroyall, I got a VPN and I can make a server thats managed by one of my programs.

When its up, wanna join? (PM me when you are on)
