Hyperbole

Hyperbole is a complete programming environment for a custom language (.hyp files), built entirely in C++. It includes an interpreter, IDE shell, and comprehensive help system.

Key Features

Custom Language: Unique syntax and semantics designed from scratch
Interactive IDE: Built-in shell for writing and executing code
Source Code Handler: Parse and manage .hyp source files
Help System: Interactive documentation for language keywords
Execution Engine: Interpret and run Hyperbole programs
Variable Management: Memory management and variable storage
Loop Support: Control flow with loops and conditionals

Components

IDE Shell

Interactive terminal interface for writing code, opening files, and executing programs. Features command history and syntax assistance.

Source Code Handler

Reads and parses .hyp files, managing the source code lifecycle from loading to execution.

Help System

Context-aware help for language keywords, operators, and syntax. View documentation without leaving the IDE.

Execution Engine

Interprets Hyperbole code line-by-line, managing program flow and state.

Language Logic Unit (ALGO)

Core logic for processing language constructs, operations, and control flow.

Variable Store

Memory management system for storing and retrieving variables during program execution.

Tech Stack

Language: C++ 100%
Compiler: Code::Blocks or any C++ compiler
Design: Object-oriented with clean separation of concerns

Example Features

# Variable declarations
set x = 10
set y = 20

# Conditionals
check x < y then
    print "x is less than y"
end

# Loops
loop 5 times
    print "Hello"
end

This project demonstrates compiler design principles, including lexical analysis, parsing, interpretation, and memory management - all implemented from first principles in C++.
