- Install the required dependencies:
npm install electron - Save the
spacescript.jsinterpreter file
Features
- Whitespace-friendly syntax
- Basic conditional statements
- Function definitions and calls
- String operations

extern "JS"blocks
Running a SpaceScript Program
node spacescript.js your-program.ssSyntax Examples
Basic Printing
println "Hello, World!"Conditionals
if 10 > 0 {
println "10 is greater than 0"
}Functions
function greet ( name ) {
return println "Hello, " + name + "!"
}
greet "User"HTML GUI
html ( "<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>SpaceScript GUI</h1>
<p>This is rendered using Electron!</p>
</body>
</html>" )JavaScript Integration
extern "JS" {
function customFunction() {
console.log("This is JavaScript code!");
}
customFunction();
}How It Works
SpaceScript tokenizes input code while preserving string literals. It respects whitespace as separators between tokens, making the lexer very simple, but handles quoted strings properly so they aren't split by whitespaces within them.
The HTML rendering feature saves HTML content to a temporary file and launches it with Electron, providing GUI capabilities.
The extern "JS" feature allows direct evaluation of JavaScript code, enabling interoperability and extending the language's functionality.
