Installation

Go get

$ go get -u github.com/lucasepe/g2d

Ready-To-Use Releases

Here you can find g2d already compiled for:

MacOS
Linux
Windows

How to use

To execute a local g2d script:

$ g2d /path/to/my-script.g2d

To execute a g2d script stored somewhere on the web:

$ g2d http://my-cool-site.com/remote/path/to/my-script.g2d

Use the --directory (or the shorter -d) flag to specify a destination folder for the generated PNG images.

The `g2D` Programming Language Syntax

Example-programs can be found beneath examples/ which demonstrate these things, as well as parts of the standard-library.

Types

g2D has the following data types: bool, int, float, str, array, and fn.

Type	Syntax	Notes
bool	`true false`
int	`0 42 1234 -5`	is a signed 64-bit integer
float	`0.5 4.2 1.234 -5.5`	is a 64-bit double-precision floating point
str	`"" "foo" "\"quotes\" and a\nline break"`	are immutable arrays of bytes
array	`[] [1, 2] [1, 2, 3]`	grow-able arrays (use the `append()` builtin)
fn	`fn(a, b) { ... }`	defines a custom function

Bindings

Variables are bounded using the := operator.

a := 3
b := 1.2

Variables may be integers, floats, strings, or arrays/hashes.

To update a variable you can simply specify the equals = operator:

a := 3    // Binding
a = a + 5 // Updating

Arithmetic operations

g2D supports all the basic arithmetic operation of int and float types.

a := 5
b := 3

c := a + b
d := c / 2
e := d * d

Builtin containers

g2d has one builtin containers: array.

Arrays

An array is a list which organizes items by linear sequence. Arrays can hold multiple types.

a := [1, 2.3, "hello!"]
b := [false, true, "Hello World", 3, 3.13]

Adding to an array is done via the push builtin function:

a = append(a, "another")

You can iterate over the contents of an array like so:

i := 0
while( i < len(a) ) {
    print( "Array index ", i, " contains ", a[i], "\n")
    i = i + 1
}

With the definition we included that produces this output:

Array index 0 contains 1
Array index 1 contains 2.3
Array index 2 contains hello!
Array index 3 contains another

Functions

g2D uses fn to define a function which will be assigned to a variable for naming/invocation purposes:

sum := fn(a, b) { return a + b }

print(sum(5,3), "\n")       // Outputs: 8
print(sum(2.5,7.5), "\n")   // Outputs: 10

Functions can be passed as values to others functions:

addTwo := fn(a, b, f) { 
    return 2 + f(a, b) 
}

tot := addTwo(68, 1, sum)
print(tot, "\n")            // Outputs: 71

Functions inside functions

multiplier := fn(q) {
    return fn(x) {
        return x*q
    }
}

multThree := multiplier(3)

print(multThree(2), "\n")  // Outputs: 6
print(multThree(3), "\n")  // Outputs: 9
print(multThree(4), "\n")  // Outputs: 12

If-else statements

g2D supports if-else statements.

max := fn(a, b) {
    if (a > b) {
        return a;
    } else {
        return b;
    }
}

print( max(1, 2) )  // Outputs: 2

Switch Statements

g2D supports the switch and case expressions:

switch n := randi(10) {
    case n % 2 == 0 {
        print(n, " is even", "\n")
    }
    default {
        print(n, " is odd", "\n")
    }
}

While Loops

g2D supports only one looping construct, the while loop:

i := 30
while (i > 0) {
    print(i, " ")
    i = i - 10
}
// 30 20 10

Builtin functions
