RetroScript Programming language

A high level programming language to program NES games.

Goals

1. Trying to make a compiler/parser/lexer.
2. designing a programming language from scratch.

Todo

• Frontend
  • Language constructs (WHILE, FOR, IF, etc...)
  • Array's (only for build in datatypes and static array size)
• Backend

  • Parsing

    • Visitors
    • Validators

  • Code Generation

    • Implementors
    • Assembly opcodes
    • Memory manager
      • Program memory
      • Ram memory
      • PPU memory
      • APU memory
      • Garbage collection
    • Rom file generation

  • NES features

    • PPU support
    • APU support
    • Mappers
      • Default mappers
      • Custom mappers through mapper.json file in project root.

  • File loaders

    • Images
      • .png
      • .jpeg
      • .bmp
      • .svg (optional)
    • Sound
      • .mid/.midi
      • custom format (optional)
    • Runtime
      • .vasm parser / visitors.
      • .vasm

  • vNES runtime

    • Design runtime
    • Implement runtime
    • Custom runtime configuration through runtime.json file in project root.
    • Features
      • basic runtime (needs to be designed first)
      • drawing runtime (like the winforms Graphics class in .Net)
• Standard library
  • NES features
    • PPU support
    • APU support
  • File loaders
    • Images
      • .png
      • .jpeg
      • .bmp
      • .svg (optional)
