“25 000+ lines of code is a big project” - @ThePrimeagen
Ruda was designed to offer an easy and user-friendly alternative to common languages. It aims to provide flawless experience for hobbyists. Ruda was never meant to go into production but it is more than capable to fill this role.
To learn how to use Ruda, see Ruda docs.
Our charming mascot does not have a name yet. We need your help to pick one for this nameless quail. 🐦
More examples will be inside examples/ directory.
import "#io"
fun main() {
io.println("Bird!")
}
If you are one of those crazy people and want to modify the source code or have any other reasons to, you are more than welcome to!
First you need to have:
Ruda also requires SFLM 2.6+ to be installed. You can download it from https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.6.1/. Make sure to follow the instructions for your platform and toolchain.
Just clone the repository and run py ruda_build.py. This should create a build/ directory with the whole application. You can move it anywhere you want.
You can find the binaries in releases here. Download the corresponding zip file for your system and the extract it. Extracted directory will be refered to as build.
Add build/bin to your enviroment path variable and create a new variable RUDA_PATH with the path to build directory. If this is unclear, look up How to Change the PATH Environment Variable on Windows (or any other platform).
Open new terminal and try ruda --version.
Ruda is currently only supported on Windows. Linux support is planned for full release.
Only 64-bit systems are supported. This is very unlikely to change in the future.
To learn more about the Ruda components see their respective directories. (good luck reading compiler source code)
