README
# Oriel
Oriel is a *"graphics-based batch language"* from the *Power Tools* series of books. This interpreter aims to accurately recreate the 1991 implementation of the language for Windows 3 on modern hardware using Rust and Gtk+3.
To read about Oriel, see the book's chapter in `book.pdf`
Support for the 1994 Windows NT version of Oriel may be added in the future, but "Windows NT Power Tools" is extremely elusive.
## Build
To compile the program, run
```
cargo build --release
```
Then, either run the program using cargo
```
cargo run --release source.orl
```
Or use the binary found at `target/release/oriel`.
## Examples
All of the 55 example programs from the book can be found in the `examples` directory. See [EXAMPLES.md](examples/EXAMPLES.md) for an index.
A hello world program looks as follows:
```
DrawText(10,10,"Hello world!")
WaitInput()
```
