sound_lang

A very simple interpreter designed to produce beeps on Windows.

Syntax

There are four expressions in sound_lang: beep, sleep, jmp, and for.

---

beep

The beep command takes two arguments:

• pitch
• duration in milliseconds

---

sleep

The sleep command takes one argument:

• duration in seconds

---

jmp

The jmp command takes one argument:

• destination line

---

for

The for command takes eight arguments:

1. The number of iterations
2. Two <arg0> integers
3. Two <arg1> integers
4. Two <arg2> floats
5. The number of lines in the loop

<arg> variables work as follows:

<arg0> = argument 2 * current iteration + argument 3
<arg1> = argument 4 * current iteration + argument 5
<arg2> = argument 6 * current iteration + argument 7

You can use them within the loop as arguments.

Comments

Comments must start with #.

---

Requierments

You will need python 3

---

Writing .beep Files

Files do not need to use the .beep extension — a regular text file (.txt) or any extension you prefer
(for example: .hi_this_is_a_really_long_and_impractical_file_extension)
will also work, as long as it contains plain text.

---

Creating a .beep File

You can launch Notepad or another simple text editor, write your code, and — after or while saving — change the .txt extension to .beep.

If it is your first time using a .beep file, you may be asked how to open it.
In that case, choose sound_reader.bat (you may need to locate it manually).
