Introduction

This repository is the home of Midi-Chlorian, a language inspired by the mind of George Lucas. One of our team members had just finished five hours of reading Star Wars wiki articles, and proposed the name SkywalkerScript. After a bit of deliberation, our team settled on Midi-Chlorian, named after the “intelligent microscopic life-forms that lived symbiotically inside the cells of all living things”[1].

Midi-Chlorian is created by Carter Pon, Adrian Leung, Isaiah Anyimi, and Jason Kalili.

Examples

Print

emit ("May the force be with you.")

Variable Declaration

cred numberOfSith = 9

If Statements

cred x = 5
should (x onewith 5) {
  emit x
} else {
  emit "nope"
}

For Loop

force (cred i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  emit i
}
i++

While Loop

cred x = 0
as (x < 5) {
    emit x
    should (x onewith 2) {
      unleash
    }
    x++
}

Example Programs

Fibonacci

Javascript

function fibonacci (n) {
    if (count <= 1) {
        return 1
    }
    return fibonacci(count-1) + fibonacci(count-2)
}

Midi-Chlorian

order cred fibonacci (cred count) {
  should (count <= 1) {
    execute 1
    }
    execute (fibonacci(count-1) + fibonacci(count-2))
}

Returns the Larger of Two Integers

Javascript

function max (i, j) {
    if (i > j) {
        return i
    } else {
        return j
    }
}

Midi-Chlorian

order cred max (cred i, cred j) {
    should (i > j) {
        execute i
    } else {
        execute j
    }
}

Else If

Javascript

let i = 0
    if (i < 5) {
      console.log("hello")
    } else
    if (i > 0) {
      console.log("deathStar")
    } else {
      console.log("order66")
    }
    i++

Midi-Chlorian

 cred i = 0
    should (i < 5) {
      emit("hello")
    } else should (i > 0) {
      emit("deathStar")
    } else {
      emit("order66")
    }
    i++

Call

Javascript

function f() {}
function g() {}
f() //call in a statement
console.log(g()) // call in an expression

Midi-Chlorian

order cred f() {}
order cred g() {}
f()   >< call in a statement
emit(g())  >< call in an expression

Functions

Javascript

function square(x) {
    return (x)
    }
function fncall() {
    console.log(square(2))
    }

Midi-Chlorian

order cred square(cred x) {
    execute x
    }
order cred fncall() {
    emit square(2)
    }
