Pseudolang

Welcome to Pseudolang! Pseudolang is a simple programming language written in Rust, inspired by College Board's Pseudocode.

This project aims to fully support Windows and Linux.

Releases

Goto nightly releases and download the binary for your operating system.

There is also an installer you can download in releases.

Use

To use the compiled versions, run the executable and pass two parameters as the input and output file (pseudolang programs end with .psl). Ex: fplc run main.psl

If fplc is not added to path or environment variables, make sure to execute the binary specifically.

Free Pseudolang Compiler = fplc (like gcc :)

Compiling

In order to compile the project yourself, you will need to have rust installed.

• Install rust, and make sure you have it added to PATH.

• Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/Pseudolang-Software-Foundation/PseudoLang.git

• • To build release, you will need bash, cross (cargo install cross), and docker. Then run ./build_release.sh. The binaries for each operating system will be in the release folder.
• • To build debug, simply run cargo build. The binary will be in the target/debug folder.

• In order to run the unit tests, simply run cargo test.

• For the NSIS installer, just compile ./installer/pseudolang.nsi

Examples

Pseudolang.md contains a full explanation of Collegeboard's Pseudocode and many features specific to PseudoLang.

The file src/tests/mod.rs also contains various unit tests (examples of code) for Pseudolang.
