Lolcode.NET.Sdk 0.2.0

🐱 Lolcode.NET.Sdk

MSBuild SDK for compiling LOLCODE 1.2 programs to .NET assemblies. Write .lol files, build with dotnet build, run with dotnet run.

Quick Start

Create a project from template

dotnet new install Lolcode.NET.Templates
dotnet new lolcode -n MyApp
cd MyApp
dotnet run

Manual project setup

Create a MyApp.lolproj:

<Project Sdk="Lolcode.NET.Sdk/0.2.0">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Create a Program.lol:

HAI 1.2
  VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Build and run:

dotnet build    # Compiles .lol → .dll
dotnet run      # Compile and execute
dotnet watch    # Recompile on changes
dotnet publish  # Publish for deployment

File-based apps (no project needed)

Create hello.lol — no project file required:

#:sdk Lolcode.NET.Sdk/0.2.0
HAI 1.2
  VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

dotnet run --file hello.lol
# Or even shorter:
dotnet hello.lol
