It's called JunkScript and its purpose is to be very easy...
for the language creator. Not for the user.

There are only 26 variables to work with (a through z)

Here's the list of commands, you put one on each line:

m [MESSAGE HERE] - Display a message
i [MESSAGE HERE] - Display an input box and store result in the input variable
s [VARIABLE] - Take the input variable and store its value in [variable]
d [VARIABLE] - Display a message box with the value of a variable
+ - Add variables A and B, store result in C.
v [VARIABLE] [NUMBER] - Store [number] in variable [variable]
f [LINE] - If variable A = variable B then goto line [line]
t [VARIABLE] [VARIABLE] - Transfer value from first variable to second variable



Tell me what example programs to write

Also, the acronym was going to be JScript, but I realized that would be an insult to the real JScript

Here's one that does addition and subtraction:


i Enter first number
s x
i Enter second number
s y
i Enter operation (1 for add, 2 for subtract)
s a
v 2 b
f 20
t x a
t y b
+
m Result is...
d c






t x a
t y b
-
m Result is...
d c

Interesting.
You should make the functions for messages vararg-able for concatenation (perhaps use commas for clarity):
m "A is " A " and b is " B
and add loops - only need the while as the others can be built from it, though adding nesting does get complicated.
2 common programs made with new languages are fizzbuzz and 99 bottles of a drink on the wall.



I've been doing compiler stuff today as well, following compilers iecc com/crenshaw/ which teaches you about compiler stuff, but without going into lots of the complicated theory - you have a working compiler by the second lesson. However it is in Turbo Pascal :/ I've been porting it to Python as I go and tidying it up, and I've now gotten to:
a = 5 b = 10 if a = 5 c = 15 else if b = 10 d = 20 else e = 25 endif endif f = 30 end
compiling to (ignoring the [condition] part - this tutorial works by teaching a different bit in each lesson but saving the same base, so the condition part has been taught in a previous lesson but in this latest one on lexical scanning, it has been removed for simplicity):
[condition];
BEQ L0;
MOVE #5, D0;
LEA A(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
MOVE #10, D0;
LEA B(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
... L1; // It doesn't like this opcode
L0;
MOVE #15, D0;
LEA C(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
L1;
END;
MOVE #5, D0;
LEA A(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
MOVE #10, D0;
LEA B(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
[condition];
BEQ L2;
MOVE #5, D0;
LEA A(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
MOVE #15, D0;
LEA C(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
... L3; // It doesn't like this opcode
L2;
[condition];
BEQ L4;
MOVE #10, D0;
LEA B(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
MOVE #20, D0;
LEA D(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
... L5; // It doesn't like this opcode
L4;
MOVE #25, D0;
LEA E(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
L5;
L3;
MOVE #30, D0;
LEA F(PC), A0;
MOVE D0, (A0);
END;

It's designed to be easy for me to make (I'm a noob at this, lol). But you can make a loop, kind of. Use if statements as a replacement for goto [line] and you're set XD

Did TI-Basic have a syntax transplant with Assembly? o3o Y? Neat concept though.

Oh yeah, didn't notice the goto.

// L is length
v L 5 // You should add multicharacter variable names, use a dictionary
// L is counter variable
v I 1 // And opcodes too would help
// You could add labels instead of code numbers
// Like start_loop:, then g[oto] start_loop

// Do your stuff (oh yeah, do you have comments)
m The current value of I is
d I

// Put I into A and 1 into B
t I A
v B 1
// So that addition does I + 1
+
// Move result back to I (so I = I + 1)
t C I

// Put I and L into A and B so that equality can be compared
t I A
t L B
f 3 // Assuming comments aren't counted, this'd be the line after I and L declared
// Greater/less than and inequality opcodes would be cool too

I'm trying to design a language that translates code into visual objects in a JavaScript/HTML combo thing, but I keep getting the error message "Variable '$' not defined. Line 1 Char 1"

It's a Scripting Language.

I just have one idea for a SCRIPTING language.

It's syntax is almost like English, and it's supposed to be like English, except for programming.

Example if you didn't understand:

if a is equal to b, then
set a to 24
or
set b to 24
that's it

"That's it" is basically end.

Commas and punctuation are required also.

"that's it"

","

"'"

Hate it already.

Otherwise is good

But what if you need to:

if a is equal to b and c, then
set a to 24
or else, if b is equal to c, then
set b to 24
or else
set c to 24

if a is equal to b and c then --I dont even think that there should be a , there...
set a to 24
otherwise, if b is equal to c then
set b to 24
otherwise
set c to 24

Only I/O and variable stuff with some mathematics so far. Needs a bit more variable control such as more math-y operations o3o

Requiring more typing for the same result doesn't make things easier.. trust me. Although some imagine a language in which proper english may be typed and interpreted to do a task, substituting more appropriate words only makes the language more readable to a non programmer. Personally, I would get slowed down by the common notation, as I can read and understand symbols/short words quicker.

v [VARIABLE] [NUMBER] - Store [number] in variable [variable]
t [VARIABLE] [VARIABLE] - Transfer value from first variable to second variable

Fix the consistency. I prefer if you do "Transfer value from SECOND variable to FIRST variable."

"You, my friend, just remade assembly. <.<"

Because what makes a programming language is its syntax.
