*Bird* is a toy programming language written entirely in Microsoft's batch scripting language. It adds amazing features such as [functions](examples/Function.bird) and [importing libraries](examples/HelloWorld.bird) like any other programming language at the cost of stuff like arithmetic and if statements.

## Features

* Functions with parameters

* Importing libraries

* Compilation to batch

## Examples

### [HelloWorld.bird](examples/HelloWorld.bird):

```

use Console

define Main

    Console.Println "Hello World"

end

# Prints 'Hello World'

```

### [Function.bird](examples/Function.bird):

```

use Console String Math "Library"

define Main $name

    Console.Println String.Concat "Hello " $name

    Console.Println TimesTwo "16"

    Library.PrintHello

end

define TimesTwo $1

    $out Math.Mul $1 "2"

    return $out

end

# First prints 'Hello ' + your first command line parameter

# Then prints '32'

# And lastly prints 'Hello'

```

### [Math.bird](examples/Math.bird):

```

use Console Math

define Main

    Console.Println Math.Add "1" "2"

    Console.Println Math.Mul "19" "5"

    Console.Println Math.Sub "7" "3"

    Console.Println Math.Div "10" "2"

    Console.Println Math.Mod "20" "5"

end

# Prints:

# 3

# 95

# -3

# 5

# 0

```

### [Prompt.bird](examples/Prompt.bird):

```

use Console String

define Main $name

    $name Console.Prompt "What is your name: "

    Console.Println String.Concat "Hello " $name

end

# Prompts 'What is your name: ' then prints 'Hello '

```

## Usage

Clone or download this repo and then enter the new folder

```console

$ git clone https://github.com/eliassjogreen/Bird.git

$ cd .\bird-master\

```

Then compile the libraries in the `.\lib\` folder

```console

$ .\bird.bat install

```

And you are ready to go! For example:

```console

$ .\bird.bat run .\examples\HelloWorld.bird

Hello World

```

Or:

```console

$ .\bird.bat compile .\examples\Function.bird .\examples\Function.bat

$ .\examples\Function.bat Elias

Hello Elias

32

```

## TODO

- [x] Arithmetic

- [x] Expand std (Added replacing libraries instead of expanding std (std is now removed))

- [ ] Loops

- [ ] If-statements
