• MinGW users:
  • compile the makefile (add mode=release to get the release build)
  • link with -lsgscript from the bin/ directory (-Lbin)
• VC10+ users: project file is in build/vc10/SGScript
• XCode users: project file is in build/xcode
• include src/sgscript.h in your project and link with libsgscript.a

Look in examples/, tests/ and docs/ directories.

More sample code can be found in documentation: http://www.sgscript.org/docs/sgscript.docs/code-samples-sgscript

As you'll probably see, it's not that different from many other languages. There'll be no specification until the language survives a few iterations. After that, we'll see if it's necessary.

• a C-like syntax
• the usual stuff (while/do-while/for/foreach, expressions, variables etc.)
• highly optimized, register-based virtual machine
• mixed memory management (ref.counting + GC)
• extensive native debugging features
• Interactive debug inspector add-on
• Function/instruction execution time and memory usage profiler add-on
• 9 data types (with lots of space for extensions):
  • null, bool, int, real, string, function, C function, object, pointer
• tests
  • testing framework is in ext/sgstest.c => bin/sgstest ("make test" to run)
• object-oriented constructs (dict, class, closure, overloadable operators)

If you think you've found a bug, file an issue on the repo.

Don't forget to include a test sample, as small as possible!

• more extensions, fully featured API
• got a suggestion? write some sample code (in the form of a test) and send it
