StoneScript

A programming language that compiles to Minecraft datapacks.

Thank you PyPylia for making my code less bad.

The General Idea

Tokenizer
- Parse source files into token streams
Parser
- Convert the token stream into an AST
Parser 2nd Pass
- Handle imports
- Mangle variable names
- Inline small functions
- De-nest nested blocks
Pre-Processor
- Evaluate macros (or don't)
- Determine the memory usage of functions
- Insert stack de/allocation instructions
Datapack Generator
- Evaluate imports
- Generate function and variable names
- Convert the pre-processed AST into valid mcfunction files
Standard Library
- A standard library that all programs are dependent on
- Handles alloc, dealloc, read, and write functions

Goals

High level abstractions like structs and enums
Compile to several minecraft versions
Minecraft version independent abstractions of commands

Maybe Goals

First class functions
Compile to native executables
