KEYwords Downloads

Keylang!!!

v2.0.0+

btw error handling sucks right now so expect it to spew Python code on a line you didn't make

Keylang is a simple Python-like programming LANGuage that puts emphasis on built in functions and KEYwords.

It's powered by Python, so you have to have that downloaded haha
It can also embed Lua, but you don't need to download that because Keylang comes with the Lua.exe
Very lightweight if you already have Python

If you’re coming from Python:

(which unfortunately you're expected to, these docs DO have a Get Started page though)

def is replaced with func for simplicity
: is replaced with opening ‘{‘ and closing ‘}’
() is optional for functions that don’t have arguments. However, calling them you still use () haha
Tabs and spaces are optional. Put them anyways they’re helpful
Variables are defined using the var keyword
's is an alias for the . accessor for better grammar, it may have a few bugs though
Yep you know Keylang now (ish)

If you’re coming from Lua:

You can embed Lua in Keylang!

To embed Lua, simply type

embed_lua{}

Setting up

1. Download

Easiest part

2. Extract files

Right click on the zip folder and press "Extract All..." or something else if you're not on Windows idk

3. Run the batch file called keylang.bat

Open keylang-x.x.x -> keylang_files -> runner
Right click keylang.bat and press "Run as administrator"
It does cool stuff and sets up your .kl files

4. You're basically done

To run your .kl file... from a Python file, just put

import subprocess
with open("test.kl", "r") as f: # replace with file... path you want to run
    kl_source = f.read()
result = subprocess.run(["python", "other_stuff/preprocess.py"], input=kl_source, text=True, capture_output=True) # replace this line if needed
python_code = result.stdout
exec(python_code, {"__name__": "__main__"})

Preview of valid Keylang

var vari_name = dict("a" = random(67, 68), "b" = 2763)

func cool_func{
    print("hi")
	loop(3){
		wait(1)
		self 's scale *= random(vari_name)
		}
	}
	
cool_func()
	
# prints hi, then, repeating 3 times, waits 1 second before multiplying self's scale by a random value from the dictionary vari_name.
