# rockstar-py

<h2 align="center">Python transpiler for the esoteric language <a href="https://github.com/dylanbeattie/rockstar">Rockstar</a></h2>

## Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on
your local machine for development and testing purposes.

### Installing

First, make sure you have installed a supported Python version (\>=
3.6).

Now, the easiest way of installing **rockstar-py** is using pip:

pip install rockstar-py

(This may require `sudo` if you're installing globally on a \*nix
system.

You can also clone this project using git and install the package with
setuptools:

git clone https://github.com/yyyyyyyan/rockstar-py.git
    cd rockstar-py
    python3 setup.py install

## Usage

If you installed the package using pip or setuptools, you can simply run rockstar-py in the command line:

rockstar-py [-h] (-i INPUT | --stdin) [-o OUTPUT | --stdout | --exec] [-v]

Otherwise, you can run the transpiler from inside the `rockstar-py` folder by running Python with the `rockstarpy` package:

python3 rockstarpy [-h] (-i INPUT | --stdin) [-o OUTPUT | --stdout | --exec] [-v]

Call `rockstar-py` with the flag `-h`/`--help` to see a description of all options:

usage: rockstar-py [-h] (-i INPUT | --stdin) [-o OUTPUT | --stdout | --exec] [-v]
    
    Python transpiler for the esoteric language Rockstar
    
    optional arguments:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                           Input file (.rock)
     --stdin               Stream in stdin
     -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                           Output file (.py)
     --stdout              Stream to stdout
     --exec                Execute (without saving) the transpiled code
     -v, --version         Version

## Examples

Just to make it more clear, some examples with the
[fizz.rock](https://github.com/yyyyyyyan/rockstar-py/blob/master/tests/fizz.rock)
code.

### Basic usage

> rockstar-py -i fizz.rock -o fizz.py
    > ls
    fizz.py  fizz.rock
    > cat fizz.py
    def Midnight(your_heart, your_soul):
       while your_heart >= your_soul: # this is a comment
           your_heart = your_heart - your_soul
       return your_heart
    Desire = 100
    my_world = False
    Fire = 3 # i love comments
    Hate = 5
    while not my_world == Desire:
       my_world += 1
       if Midnight(my_world, Fire) == False and Midnight(my_world, Hate) == False:
           print("FizzBuzz!")
           continue
       if Midnight(my_world, Fire) == False:
           print("Fizz!")
           continue
       if Midnight(my_world, Hate) == False:
           print("Buzz!")
           continue
       print(my_world)

### Using `--stdout`

> rockstar-py -i fizz.rock --stdout
    def Midnight(your_heart, your_soul):
       while your_heart >= your_soul: # this is a comment
           your_heart = your_heart - your_soul
       return your_heart
    Desire = 100
    my_world = False
    Fire = 3 # i love comments
    Hate = 5
    while not my_world == Desire:
       my_world += 1
       if Midnight(my_world, Fire) == False and Midnight(my_world, Hate) == False:
           print("FizzBuzz!")
           continue
       if Midnight(my_world, Fire) == False:
           print("Fizz!")
           continue
       if Midnight(my_world, Hate) == False:
           print("Buzz!")
           continue
       print(my_world)

### Using `--stdin`

> rockstar-py --stdin -o fizz.py
    Midnight takes your heart and your soul
    While your heart is as high as your soul (this is a comment)
    Put your heart without your soul into your heart
    
    Give back your heart
    
    
    Desire's a lovestruck ladykiller
    My world is empty
    Fire's ice (i love comments)
    Hate is water
    Until my world is Desire,
    Build my world up
    If Midnight taking my world, Fire is nothing and Midnight taking my world, Hate is nothing
    Shout "FizzBuzz!"
    Take it to the top
    
    If Midnight taking my world, Fire is nothing
    Shout "Fizz!"
    Take it to the top
    
    If Midnight taking my world, Hate is nothing
    Say "Buzz!"
    Take it to the top
    
    Whisper my world
    [Ctrl+D]
    > ls
    fizz.py  fizz.rock

### Using `--exec`

> rockstar-py -i fizz.rock --exec

## Acknowledgments

-   Hat tip to [dylanbeattie](https://github.com/dylanbeattie/) for creating Rockstar
-   The FizzBuzz example works well. If valid code doesn’t work, create an issue so I can get a look.
-   I’ll work on the readibility and organization of the code, would love suggestions on how/where to do that.
-   I'd also love help with the tests.
