# vipe

_The very venomous visual programming environment._

The __vipe__ ecosystem consists of a standard for defining visual programs (see `example.xml`), an interpreter that executes programs written in the standard, and (coming soon) a web-based editor for creating programs.

## Requirements

* `node.js`
* `npm`
* `xml2js`
* Some patience

## Install & Usage

npm install vipe

vipe program.xml

__Please note__, if you're going to be hacking from source, remember to call `jake build` after downloading the source and after modifying any of the libraries, then call `npm link`! If you add a library that's written in CoffeeScript, add it to the `libs` array in the Jakefile so that it will be converted to JavaScript.

# Contributing

Fork and pull, baby! Current big-ticket items are __documentation (and comments)__, building an easily extensible __library system__ so that anyone can write nodes to use in their programs, and putting together the __web editor__. Feel free to post issues or send me a tweet [@esherido](http://twitter.com/esherido) (I gladly accept any non-sketchy/spammy/botty follow requests).
