This project was never meant to go beyond the scope of a simple thing I could make pong in, yet people continue to ask for features and fixes, and I continue to oblige. So sadly, even though this was a cool project in which I learned a lot, it will be ending now. I will eventually make some docs and standards for the syntax, and will still leave this repository open. This way anybody can make their own interpreter or compiler for it. I will also still accept pull requests for any changes to this repository. + ## Introduction Z-Sharp is a custom programming language I made because I don't like c++ very much (Z-Sharp's interpreter is written in c++ though). Z-Sharp scripts have the file extension .ZS. The base syntax and formatting I would say is quite similar to C# or Python, but differs as task complexity increases. It also has support for graphics using SDL2. @@ -7,6 +9,9 @@ Before using Z#: There is ***no documentation***, ***strings*** barely work, ***performance*** isn't great, the syntax is ***very specific***, and most errors just cause it to ***crash without warning***. I am just a *single developer* working on this during my free time; between school, other projects, and YouTube. Z-Sharp will most likely never be finished, since it was really supposed to end when the video was published about it. If you are trying to use a common programming language feature, ask yourself this: ***Is this feature required to play pong?*** If not, then most likely that feature ***has not been implemented yet***. I initially only made the language so I could create pong and make a video about it, so it really is the ***bare minimum***. +## Documentation and getting started: +[The docs and tutorial](https://stevenrafft.github.io/ZSharpDocs/#/README) + ## Installation Downloading or installing is very simple, here is how depending on your version and operating system: ### Windows
