Show HN: Gaiman language for Web-based Terminal applications

4 points

4 years ago

I've created programming language based on Ruby that simplifies creating Terminal text-based games and applications in the browser. I've released first 1.0 beta version, but I'm still adding features and fixing bugs. I yet need to add more documentation and improve Gaiman playground.

The repo for the language can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/jcubic/gaiman the only documentation so far is the Wiki with [Reference manual][1] and [examples directory][2].

And playground can be found at gaiman.js.org. There is proper tutorial on my TODO list. I've created a game for it (guess the number) that is only 31 lines of code (with empty lines), I've added it to [git][3].

On my road map there is also node.js version, so you will be able to run your apps in the terminal.
