This is a programming language designed to be used for playing games of Nomic, or engaging in other similar activities revolving around natural language rule-making and self modification.

The language compiler was written in moonscript, using the lpeg library for parsing. All of the moon files have been compiled into lua for convenience.

In order to run a .nom file, run lua nomic.lua your_file.nom. Code can also be compiled into lua code directly, which still requires nomic.lua as a dependency, but bypasses the compilation phase when it runs. To compile, run lua nomic.lua your_file.nom output_file.lua which produces an output file which can be run with the command lua output_file.lua.

Example code can be found in the examples folder.

core.nom contains some extremely helpful and basic core functionality for the language, written in the language itself, so I recommend adding run file "core.nom" to the top of your files.
