NinCodeIDE — A Logic-First Programming Language

NinCode is a simple programming language I created as a side project. To be honest, there isn't a massive amount to do with it yet, but it was a ton of fun to build.

The language is very strict with syntax, mostly because I designed it to make sense to me while I was coding it lol. It started its life in Java (written entirely by hand, no AI), but since I wanted it to be accessible to everyone without them needing to set up a Java environment, I ported the logic to GDScript and built this web-based IDE using Godot.

Data Types

• int: Standard integers (e.g., 10, -5).
• astr: Strings and single characters (e.g., "Hello", "A").
• bool: Boolean values (true or false). Note: 0/1 are not allowed.

Core Commands

1. Input & Output

• nin.out argument; — Prints a string or variable.
• nl; — Adds a new line (essential since nin.out doesn't do it automatically).
• nin.in dataType variableName; — Takes user input and saves it to a new variable.

2. Variable Management

• nin.setvar dataType variableName value; — Creates and sets a variable.
• nin.math resultVar val1 operator val2; — Handles +, -, *, / and saves to a new variable.
• nin.rand varName min max; — Generates a random integer in a range.

3. Logic & Flow

• Conditionals: if condition : trueAction : falseAction;
  • Example: if score > 10 : nin.out "Win" : pass;
• Loops: nin.loop iterations : command1 : command2;
  • Note: nin.setvar cannot be used inside loops.
• Delay: nin.delay milliseconds; — Pauses execution (defaults to 1000ms).
• Pass: pass; — Does nothing (useful for if statements).

How to Run

(Java Version)

The IDE looks for a file called script.nc. Write your code line-by-line, and the interpreter will execute them sequentially. If everything is correct, you'll see Code Executed Successfully!. If not... well, look out for the Error at line X! message!

Everything here is a work in progress. If you find a weird syntax bug, let me know!
