# MatrixStack-Code

is a 2d, stack-based, esoteric language.

The pointer traverses a plane / matrix of instructions.

Each 4x4 block of instructions corresponds to a stack.

The language spec is in [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md).

## Using the interpreter

Programs can be run using their file paths as command line arguments:

```sh

msc 

```

This also allows using shebangs on Unix-like systems!

They can be piped in via stdin:

```sh

msc < 

```

However, the program will not be able to take inputs!

Or you can write programs straight into it:

```sh

msc

```

Write your program, then press `Enter, Ctrl + D` on Unix-like systems or `Enter, Ctrl + Z` on Windows to run it.  

There is no way to save your programs from here, but you can copy them from your terminal!

## Examples

There are example files in the [examples](examples) directory.

Run one with `msc examples/.msc`

or `cargo run examples/.msc`

## Installing with cargo

Make sure you have [cargo](https://rustup.rs/) installed.

```sh

cargo install --git https://github.com/tomboddaert/msc

```
