# I C Whitespace

A C-based interpreter for the esoteric programming language Whitspace. Can be

compiled and run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, then used to interpret and run

programs written in Whitespace.

## Installation

I C Whitespace requires that GCC be installed on the system before compiling.

- [Installing GCC on Windows](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files)

- [Installing GCC on Mac](https://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/HUGG/Installing+the+GNU+compilers+on+Mac+OS+X)

Once GCC is installed on your system and the latest version of this repo

downloaded, unzip the repo and open the resulting folder using the terminal

or command prompt. Type `make` and your computer do the rest.

If nothing happens except a couple lines appear in the window, awesome. You

should be able to see a new file called `whitespace` in your directory, or

`whitespace.exe` if you are using a Windows machine. Once terminal prompts you

for another command, you're ready to start running your own Whitespace programs.

## Usage

You will use the same terminal/console window that you used to compile I C

Whitespace to run I C Whitspace. Usage for I C Whitespace is as follows:

    whitespace 

For example, to run a whitespace program stored in file `hello.ws`, type

    whitespace hello.ws

and hit enter/return. I C Whitespace will open your file and attempt to

interpret it. If an error occurs, a message will be displayed in your console

and I C Whitespace will quit. If I C Whitespace successfully compiles your code,

it will attempt to run it. If any runtime errors occur, then a message will be

displayed to the console and I C Whitespace will quit.

If you don't see an error message and are greeted with another prompt, then

congratulations; your code compiles and runs without errors. Good for you!
