Mapleseed

Mapleseed is a simple Whirl interpreter written in Ruby. Yes, I know I’ve been on a bit of an esoteric language interpreter kick. They’re fun little toys.

Usage

To install Mapleseed: % gem install mapleseed Once Mapleseed is installed, you can use it to interpret your Whirl code.

You can pass code directly into it, using the -c parameter. % mapleseed -c “011000011110000111111” Or, you can specify a file with the -f parameter:

% mapleseed -f test.wrl You can also start an interactive interpreter by running Mapleseed without any parameters % mapleseed The list of options is viewable from the command line using the -h parameter.

% mapleseed -h And if you’d like to use Whirl code inside of Ruby, that can be done:

require ‘rubygems’ require ‘mapleseed’ ms = Mapleseed::Interpreter.new ms.run(“011000001111000011111000001111 00001111100000111100001111100000110010 00001100111110001110001111000110011100 00000001111100010001111100110011111000 10001100”)

Things That Might Get Done Eventually

• File minimizer (turn whirl code into tiny binary files and vice versa)

• Testing

History

• 0.1.1 - Added REPL

• 0.1.0 - Initial release. Allows running code passed in or from a file.
