CARL: A Roguelike Language is a language specialising in writing map generators for roguelike games.
Requirements: The program is written in Java 21, and is built with Apache Maven. Therefore, make sure you have both Maven and JDK >=21 installed before compiling the program.
Compilation:
To compile, navigate to the root folder (the one containing the
pom.xml file), and write:
mvn package
Assuming nothing goes wrong during compilation, there should be a
.jar file in the target/ directory.
After you've compiled the interpreter, and written your CARL script, you can run the interpreter as:
java -jar carl-1.0.jar script-name.carl
(make sure to use the correct names for the jar file and script file)
The interpreter will then run the script, and all output will be sent to stdout. Output to a file or piping to a program is not natively supported, but can be done via the shell (e.g. bash or cmd).
A description of how to write in the language can be found in language.md.
This is a 4th semester project for the Software course at Aalborg University. Chances are that we will never look back at this project ever again after June 25, 2024 (our project exam date), except in shame.
However, if by some chance you've been trapped by a sphinx and part of its riddle involves knowledge this software, we can be contacted via email as [email protected].
