The official repository for the EZCode programming language

Welcome!

Welcome to EZCode! EZCode is a comprehensive programming language built with C#. EZCode is designed to be easy to use straightforward, although sometimes it can be tuff. Refer to Community to learn more on how to contribute!

Install EZCode using the installer from the latest release and click Installer.zip to download it.

EZCode v3.0.0 Example

// include main package
include main

make ^int {NAME} {VALUE} => int {NAME} new : {VALUE}
// turns: int name 0
// into: int name new : 0
// which is the valid way to create class instance

// color class that stores R, G, B values
// looks for c[R;G;B] and turns that into a new color instance
class color {
    explicit watch c\[{R};{G};{B}\] => set : R, G, B
    int R 0
    int G 0
    int B 0
    method set : @int:r, @int:g, @int:b {
        R = r
        G = g
        B = b
    }
}

// prints color with the new instance of color class c[50;60;90]
printColor : c[50;60;90]

method printColor : @color:c {
    print The color: 'c:R' 'c:G' 'c:B'
}
// Outputs:
// The color: 50 60 90

ezcode's Issues

Duplicate Variables with Loop. Visible with EZ IDE Debugging.

When there is a loop with a variable declaration inside it, EZCode creates duplicate variable every time it is declared. It is supposed to only make one, and reset the variable every time it is declared.

Here is an example,

loop true {
    clear
    var keys : input key
    print 'keys'
    await 50
}

Every time the keys variable is called, it creates a new variable instead of using the same one. It is visible with the EZ IDE when debugging the code.

This happens in EZCode v2.0.0.

Window Designer

A Window Designer inside the IDE

A Window Designer inside the IDE would allow it to be easier to design windows when making an application. If it would create code to copy and paste into the project, that would be fantastic. It would make sense to create a Tools toolstrip tab for the Format Text, Window Designer, and any new features.

EZ IDE Visual Output in Debugging

When debugging a visual project in the EZ IDE, it would be nice to not have to switch tabs when looking at the visual output. It's really frustrating having to do it over 50 times when designing something but also needing to debug.

Maybe making a tab control with the variable value list or the console to view the visual output. This is in EZ IDE v1.0.0
