hulljus

a picture is worth a thousand words

a rather innocent-looking if-block implementation in hulljus

what is this?

A visual programming interface which by itself contains something more or less like a programming language.

When you use the name hulljus (nobody really does so because this project is so not known), you can be referring to the programming interface itself or the quasi-programing language. This vague reference is so like another better known project which I need not name here.

Why?

Because it's much better known.

A rather detailed (and possibly incomplete) documentation of:

  • all features available in the program;
  • all features of the quasi-programming language; and
  • all one needs to know in order to implement an interpreter of the quasi-programming language

is written in the file hulljus/documentation.md.

onomastics: behind the name

Honestly I really forgot.

What I can tell as far as possible is that it's some sort of a portmanteau of Swedish words, particularly a concatenation of 2 words.

The problem is, I don't where to split the 7 letters into 2 groups of each word. jus is juice, and ljus is light. Either way, hul(l) doesn't make sense. So maybe it's a mix of 2 words from 2 different language. But I'm quite sure that the latter is Swedish.

dependencies & compilation

You need wxWidgets 3.1.0 and Boost. But Boost is hardly ever used in this project; I will consider delete this dependency completely from the code.

If you have Visual Studio Community 2015, use it to open the .vcxproj file. In Additional Include Directories, replace %WXWIN% and %BOOSTDIR% with your directories to wxWidgets and Boost. %WXWIN% also appears in Additional Library Directories. Boost is header-only so has nothing to do with libraries.

Wait as I come up with instructions for non-VS users.

anything else?

I use the absolutely amazing Visual Studio Community 2015 and initiated my VS project with Git. When I uploaded everything from my local repository to this Github repository (which is what I did in the glorious first commit), I was surprised by the fact that VS generated a .gitignore for me. Sadly, There was one file that should have been included as well, but was not - the Thumbs.db. And the VS developers, they are really from Microsoft...
