Cube
Cube is an esoteric programming language made to emulate a 3D cube via a 2D text editor interface. The only files that can run Cube code end with extensions ".cube" and ".dewy".
Example
The following text file represents a simple example of Cube code:
2 .... . . .);. .......... .( .v .1 . . . .1 . .......... .>a. . . .... . . . . ....
Features
- 2D representation of 3D coding interface.
- Code intuitively represents an unfolded cube
- Input/Output Functionality
- Is primarily run from two Stacks(Operation Stack and Char Stack)
- Special Functionality When Crossing Between Sides(Marked By Periods)
- One of the few languages that can be run from more than one extension(.cube and .dewy)
- Exclusively Coded in Python Meaning Source Code is Relatively Easy To Understand
Building
Requirements:
- python version (>=3.0)
Supported Systems:
- Windows 10/11
- GNU/Linux(Tested on Ubuntu 20.04)
Install Cube and Run Cube File
$ git clone https://github.com/EthanMuchnik/Cube-Language-Interpreter.git $ cd Cube-Language-Interpreter/src $ python3 CodeRunner.py
Then enter your .cube or .dewy file name when prompted
