The new blazingly fast high-level programming language. Giving you the simplicity of writing C code with the performance of writing native assembly code.
This is a compiler/assembler written in Rust and C++ for our custom high-level language we call NID-Lang.
This is meant to be a tool to help us develop a game on our custom CPU architecture in a high-level languages instead
of machine or assembly code. Learn more about the languages under docs/
Yes! But...
You need to support our custom instructions that can be found in docs/
Make sure you have Rust/Cargo installed, as well as the GCC compiler.
Downloading and compiling can be done in one simple command:
git clone https://github.com/an0nymoos3/nid-compiler.git && cd nid-compiler/ && make
For future builds you simply run:
make
The binaries can then be found under bin/, called compiler and assembler. Running compiler
will automatically also call assembler.
./compiler my_file.nid
To view more options, simply run:
./compiler --help
To compile a manually written .ass file you can use the assembler found under bin/.
./assembler my_file.ass
If you don't have the same number of registers or memory addresses as the reference
CPU that this compiler was built for, you can specify it in a .toml file.
Below is an example of such a file.
custom_hardware.toml
mem_addresses = 512
registers = 16
extended_instructions = false
To use this file for compilation, you simple add the --hardware-conf flag.
./compiler my_file.nid --hardware-conf custom_hardware.toml
| Feature | Status |

| Working compiler | 🟢 Working state, missing features |
| Working assembler | 🟢 Mostly done |
| Dynamic memory allocations | 🔴 Planned |
| Imports between files | 🔴 Planned |
| std library | 🔴 Planned |
Anyone with a lot of free time on their hands is free to contribute to this project. I would love to see NID-Lang supported on more platforms.
