NEWS

This is still a work in progress. It may be changed in the future.

News is an esoteric programing language meant to look like a news cast.

Creating a program

Start

You start of a NEWS program by typing the name of the news company followed by a period and two newlines, then the words "Desk Anchor: " (That space at the end in necessary). and the name of the desk anchor in your program, a period newline, the words "Weatherman: ", the name of the weatherman, period, newline, "Live Reporter: ", the name of the reporter who is reporting live at the scene, and a period, and then two newlines. Ex:

Fox News.

Desk Anchor: Jeff.
Weatherman: Bob.
Live Reporter: Billy Bob Joe.

Sections

There are 3 different sections; Desk, Weather, and Scene. All NEWS programs must start and end in a desk section. The starting desk section is introduced like this: (Using the names in the previous example)

Jeff: Hello, and welcome to Fox News! I am your host, Jeff.

The end of the last desk segment is as follows:

Jeff: Anyway, that's it for tonight, my name is Jeff, and see you next time on Fox News.
