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](http://moonscript.org/), using the
[lpeg library](http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/) 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.
