MVinl

A mini stack configuration language.

Mini Vinl is not Lisp

MVinl is packaged as gem. To install it from RubyGems.org go

gem install mvinl

or build and install it from this repo if you have it downloaded

rake build
rake install

Use MVinl.eval or MVinl.eval_from_file to evaluate mvinl code.

imvnl is an interactive shell for mvinl. It's not really how the language suppose to be used but it's useful for quckly testing expressions.

Vinl execution returns a hash similar to YAML or JSON. The point is to create a configuration structure to initiate objects in an application, like a game engine.

The main elements that construct the resulting structure are groups and properties. Groups typically sort objects into data categories, such as states. Properties can be thought of as object constructors.

Example:

def (center x (/ x 2))

@start
  SplashScreen 'path/to/image'.

@second
  Buttom (center 1920)
         (center 1080)
         "Hello, MVinl!"
         font_size: 21     # END_TAG is optional
