Emojicode

http://www.emojicode.org

Emojicode is an open source, high-level, multi-paradigm, object-oriented programming language consisting of emojis.

The Language

Installing

You can easily install Emojicode from our stable prebuilt binaries: http://www.emojicode.org/docs/guides/install.html.

Building from source

If you need to build Emojicode from source you can of course also do this. We, however, recommend you to install Emojicode from the prebuilt binaries if possible.

Prerequisites:

• clang and clang++ 3.4 or newer, or
• gcc and g++ 4.8 or newer
• GNU Make
• SDL2 (libsdl2-dev) to compile the SDL package
  • sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev on Debian/Ubuntu
  • brew install SDL2 on OS X

Steps:

1. Clone Emojicode (or download the source code and extract it) and navigate into it:

   git clone https://github.com/emojicode/emojicode
   cd emojicode
   

   Beware of, that the master branch contains development code which probably contains bugs. If you want to build the latest stable release make sure to check it out first: git checkout v0.2.0-beta.3

2. Then simply run

make

to compile the Engine, the compiler and all default packages.

You may need to use a smaller heap size on older Raspberry Pis. You can specify the heap size in bytes when compiling the engine:

make HEAP_SIZE=128000000

The default heap size is 512MB.

3. You can now either install Emojicode and run the tests:

   [sudo] make install && make tests
   

   or package the binaries for distribution:

   make dist
   

After the command is done you will find a directory and a tarfile in builds named after your platform, e.g. Emojicode-0.2.0-beta.3-x86_64-linux-gnu.
