#Wat Is Code "A dumber way to program."
"I don't know"
"Wat?"

##No Really, what is this? We decided there wasn't a coding language stupid enough for beginners.
So we decided to make one!

This language is Turing-complete, and supports most of the features you'd expect in any programming language.

##Under the Hood Since the compiler was written in C++, we decided to parse the Wat Is Code source file into a C++ source file.
You must compile the supplied compiler.cc file, and name the executable as "wiccompiler".

After that, simply run the supplied wicc bash script with the format "./wicc <myfile.wic>".
This will compile your supplied myfile.wic into a binary executable ("./a.out" by default).

We've only provided a compiler, so you must run "./a.out" to experience the fun!

##Language

###Comments Usage: UMM comments
Notes: You can add an UMM at any point in the program. Anything after this will be ignored, till the end of the line.

###Include Usage: DO I NEED library_name
Notes: Since we compile into C++ source, you can include any C or C++ type library.

###Variables ###Declaration Usage: I NEED A type CALLED name
Notes: Declares name as a variable of type specified by type.
The type can be any type accepted in C++. There is no support for enumerated types yet.

###Assignment Usage: name SHOULD BE value
Notes: Sets the variable name to have a value specified by value.

###Operators Notes: Same as C/C++ (+, -, /, etc...)

###Conditionals Usage: I THINK condition
Notes: If condition

Usage: OR MAYBE another condition
Notes: Need to have an "I THINK" before "OR MAYBE".

Usage: I LIED
Notes: Equivalent of an "else"

Usage: RIGHT?
Notes: Required. Ends the if statement.

###Loops Usage: WATER WATER WATER
Notes: Starts a loop.

Usage: LOOP LOOP LOOP
Notes: Ends a loop.

Usage: RUN FROM GEESE
Notes: Exits from a loop.

###Functions ###Declaration Usage: name FINDS A type
Notes: Start a function called name that returns type type. No input parameters.

Usage: name FINDS A type FROM A type CALLED name (AND A type CALLED name ...)
Notes: Start a function called name that returns type type.
For the first set of parameters, use "FROM A ..", and for additional parameters, use "AND A ..".
###End Usage: PLEASE WORK
Notes: Needs to be there to end a function!

###Returns Usage: I CALCULATED expression
Notes: Returns expression

###Input Usage: ASK ABOUT name
Notes: Gets value from standard input and puts it into name.

###Output Usage: SHOW ME expression
Notes: Outputs an expression (string, variable, number, etc).

#Extras

We now have syntax highlighting support (for Vim).

To use the file, copy wic.vim into ~/.vim/syntax/ (and create any needed folders).

Then add the following line into your .vimrc file:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.wic set filetype=wic
