Geolang

Geolang is a programming language made by user:TJC games for helping with geometry.

Who am I kidding, it is a stupid language made by a stupid person.

Not affiliated with the other Geolang.

This article is a stub, which means that it is not detailed enough and needs to be expanded. Please help us by adding some more information.

Usage

The name of an object cannot be or contain `@`, `[`, `]`, `,`, `(`, `)`, or any of the keywords.

All object names have to be unique.

Instead of listing a single object, where specified, you can have a list of objects.

An object list is surrounded by [], and has commas between items.

Any point input in the below table can take a co-ordinate set as well, except from the `point` command.

Operations

Keyword	Usage	Mechanic
point	point a @ (x, y)	Add or move the point called `a` to the co-ordinates (x, y).
point	point a @ (x, y) z	Add or move the point called `a` to the closest point on object z to the co-ordinates (x, y).
mid	mid a @ x y	Add a point called `a` to the midpoint of points x and y.
mid	mid a @ x	Add a point called `a` to the midpoint of segment or arc x.
line	line a @ x y	Create a line called `a` between points x and y, and extend it infinitely.
ray	ray a @ x y	Create a line segment called `a` between points x and y, and extend it in the direction of point y.
seg	seg a @ x y	Create a line called `a` between points x and y.
vect	vect a @ x y	Create a vector called `a` between points x and y, in the direction of y.
shift	shift a @ b x	Move point `b` by vector x and call it `a`. Can accept a point for x, where the vector is from (0,0) to the point. Can take a list for b, where it moves all objects.
mirror	mirror a @ b x	Mirror point `b` along line x and call it `a`. Can accept a point for x, where the line is from (0,0) to the point. Can take a list for b, where it mirrors all objects in the list.
circ	circ a @ x y	Create a circle called `a` with the centre on point x and the edge on point y.
circ	circ a @ x y z	Create a circle called `a` touching all points x, y, and z.
arc	arc a @ x y z	Create an arc called `a` with the centre on x and the ends on points y and z, going clockwise.
poly	poly a @ [i, j, k, l...]	Create a polygon called `a` with vertices i, j, k, l, and so on (min. 3 arguments).

Animations

Time to make this a contender to Manim. If any anim commands exist in the code, the objects don't draw automatically. If any normal commands exist after an anim command, throw an error.

Keyword	Usage	Mechanic
var	var t @ s	Creates a variable called `t` and starts it at `s`. Can be used as a number.
latex	latex txt @ z	Parse text `z` as a LaTeX string and output as txt.
anim var	anim t @ var l z ease	Animate the graph with variable `t` at a speed of `l` per second up to `z`, with optional easing. Modifies all objects accordingly.
anim shift	anim a @ shift v t ease	Translate object `a` by vector `v`, with optional length of animation and easing. Keeps objects from point a @ (x, y) z on object `z`. `a` can be a list, `v` can be a point as a vector from origin, blah blah blah.
anim mirror	anim a @ mirror v t ease	Mirror object `a` by vector `v`, with optional length of animation and easing. Keeps objects from point a @ (x, y) z on object `z`. `a` can be a list, `v` can be a point as a vector from origin, blah blah blah.
anim wait	anim wait @ t	Wait `t` seconds.
anim create	anim a @ create t ease	Create object `a` in `t` seconds, with an optional method.
anim remove	anim a @ remove t ease	Remove object `a` in `t` seconds, with an optional method.

Examples

Hello world

Hello world programs are technically considered impossible in this language because the output is non-textual. However, there may be alternatives.

If you really wanted to, you could do this:

seg h1 @ (0,0) (0,4)
seg h2 @ (2,0) (2,4)
seg h3 @ (0,2) (2,2)

point e1 @ (3,0)
point e2 @ (3,4)
seg e3 @ e1 e2
seg e4 @ e1 (5,0)
seg e5 @ e2 (5,4)
seg e6 @ (3,2) (5,2)

point l11 @ (6,0)
seg l12 @ l11 (6,4)
seg l13 @ l11 (8,0)

point l21 @ (9,0)
seg l22 @ l21 (9,4)
seg l23 @ l21 (11,0)

seg o11 @ (12,0) (14,0)
seg o12 @ (12,4) (14,4)
seg o13 @ (12,0) (12,4)
seg o14 @ (14,0) (14,4)

point w1 @ (0,-5)
point w2 @ (4,-5)
seg w3 @ w1 w2
seg w4 @ w1 (0,-1)

seg d4 @ (14,-4) (14,-2)
seg d5 @ (14,-2) (13,-1)
seg d6 @ (13,-1) (12,-1)

Truth machine

It is impossible, proving that this language is not turing complete. ^{Cite: This article}
