nyan - yet another notation

just make it meta-meta-meta.

nyan is a data description language, It is a mixture of python, json, patch, java, wml, yaml and some new ideas.

We created nyan because there existed no suitable language to properly represent the enormous complexity of storing the data for openage.

The main focus is readability and moddability.

Thanks for the endless hours of funny discussions and thoughts about the design to all contributors.

github stars #sfttech on Freenode

The foundation of nyan:

Technology Component
C++14 nyan core
Flex Tokenizer generator
GNU Autocancer Build "system"
Humans Doing it wrong all the time

Current State of the Project

Components

  • The specification is more or less complete
  • Interpreter code is missing
  • The nyanc compiler is missing

Dependencies, Building and Running

  • How do I get this to install on my box?

  • Waaaaaah! It

    • crashes
    • spams all kinds of shit on the screen
    • my girlfriend dumped me because I debugged for nights

All of those observations are intended, not bugs.

To turn fix them, compile with --dont-segfault --no-errors --new-girlfriend.

If this still does not help, try the contact section or the bug tracker.

Development Process

How does contributing work here?

The documentation is also in this repo:

  • Code documentation is embedded in the sources for Doxygen (see doc readme).
  • Have a look at the doc directory. This folder tends to outdate when code changes.

Contact

Most of the developers hang around on our IRC channel (#sfttech on freenode.net). Do not hesitate to ping us, we might not see your message otherwise.

For all technical discussion (ideas, problems, ...), use the issue tracker! It's like a mailing list.

If it's a problem with the usage of nyan in openage, head over there.
