Mint to TSC

Converts Mint code to TSC.
Well not really. The version of the Mint language implemented in this program is a very limited subset of Mint that is barely Turing complete.

Example Input:

#0300
x = true
y = true
teleport 300 if x
display Hello, world!
5000 = true
100 = true
<END
#0200
teleport 200 if 100
<END

Example Output:

#0300
<FL+4001
<FL+4002
<FLJ4001:0300<MSGHello,<NOD world!<NOD<CLO<FL+5000<FL+0100<END
#0200
<FLJ0100:0200<END

So yeah, you can name your flags and stuff.

You need Python 3 to run this.

To run it, use the command prompt (gasp!)
Use cd (change directory) to get to the right folder. Then type in python MintToTSC.py YOUR_FILE_NAME to transform a file.

If you don't know how to use the command prompt / Terminal / console, talk to me and I will write a bash or batch file for you.

If it still doesn't work, contact me again.

 

Oh god yes

 

Very interesting.

Just one question though.

Example Input:

display Hello, world!

Example Output:

<MSGHello,<NOD world!<NOD<CLO

What part of that mint script converted to that first <NOD? Perhaps it could have been triggered by that comma, but that appears in the converted TSC script as well. There are many circumstances under which I want to continue onward without a <NOD even if I use a comma, so if you're looking for suggestions on improving this, I'd say make an effective way to more easily control <NODs, because I wouldn't want one to appear every time I type a comma.

Mind you, this nitpicking is done solely based off of looking at your two pieces of code provided, and I have neither actually tried your program, nor have any experience programming in mint. So there's a chance I'm missing something.

 

<NODs are inserted after punctuations.
I do that anyway when I write TSC code.

If you don't want that, just write the <MSG out manually.
Of course, that is very painful and you have to remember to
split your lines correctly to prevent textbox overflow...

EDIT: Setting a variable to false will trigger <FL-. That's not in the example.

 

Or you could like remove <NODs you don't want
And don't feel bad about not knowing Mint there are like 4 or 5 people at most who do
Myself one of them

 

Learn Mint 2.1 with Prezi

It's like an online-only PowerPoint. But it's better. Learn the basics with that.

 

Permission to put on the site?

 

If he says yes I'd suggest linking the tutorial too; it's the only way to learn Mint.

 

Yes. Certainly it can be put on the tribute site. Basically you can say that TSCMint is a very simple "away from the hardware" language that offers naming of flags as if they were bound variables and some other features.

Some people might still prefer good ol' TSC though.

EDIT: You can also link the Prezi (online presentation software), which is the tutorial for the language. However, the tutorial talks about really advanced topics that are hard to do with the simple version of Mint. Such as addition, subtraction, and maybe even (*gasp*) multiplication!
