Making an artcompiler

Steps include

• Get, build and start the Graffiticode host app (https://github.com/graffiticode/graffiticode).
• Clone and initialize the starter artcompiler (L0) as a new language (e.g. L1000).
  • $ git clone [email protected]:graffiticode/L0.git L1000
  • $ cd L1000
  • $ npm install
• Start your compiler as a local service to make sure that all is well.
  • $ cd ../L1000
  • $ make
• Make sure everything is good.
  • Paste into the code view: "hello, world!"...
  • See "hello, world!" in the form view.
• Design a language that allows you to say things that are interesting and beautiful.
• Edit ./src/lexicon.js to define a vocabulary for that language.
• Edit ./src/compiler.js to translate the ASTs produced from GC into object code that expresses the output of that language.
• Edit ./src/viewer.js to render that object code in an interesting and beautiful way.
• Test your changes.
  • $ make
• Start GC as a local server.
  • $ cd ../graffiticode
  • $ make
• Visit your local GC server (e.g. http://localhost:3000/lang?id=1000) to test.
• Repeat until you are have done something interesting.
