RiScript is a minor language designed for writers working in computational media. It runs in a variety of environments, including the browser, Node, Observable, P5.js, Android and others. RiScript primitives (choices, symbols, gates, transforms, etc) can be used as part of any RiScript grammar or executed directly using evaluate(). RiScript is free/libre/open-source and integrates with RiTa.
For more documentation and examples see this interactive notebook on observable.
- For esm:
import { RiScript } from "https://esm.sh/riscript"; - For browsers:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/riscript"></script> - For node:
$ npm install riscript
let { RiScript } = require('riscript'); - For developers
import { RiScript } from "https://esm.sh/riscript";
let script = "[#name=[Jane | Bill]] was from [#place=[New York | Berlin]]."
+ " $name finds $place cold and wet in winter.";
let result = RiScript.evaluate(script);
console.log(result);To install/build the library and run tests:
$ git clone https://github.com/dhowe/riscript.git
$ cd riscript
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ npm test
If all goes well, you should see a list of successful tests and find the library built in 'dist'
