Virtue downloads

A (preliminary) Virtue languagage manual:

The Virtue of Programming in Virtue

Executables:

Instuctions:

Download the appropriate executable for your processor/operating system combination.

For Win systems download the appropriate 'cygwin1.dll' (32 or 64 bit version)

Rename the downloaded file (UNIX/Linux: 'Virtue', Win: 'Virtue.exe')

Put the executable UNIX/Linux file into appropriate bin directory (e.g. /usr/local/bin, ~/bin ...).

Put the executable Win file in a folder. Put the appropriate 'cygwin1.dll' in the same folder. Execute the Virtue.exe from that folder by double clicking (single processor mode), or use cmd/powershell to use Virtue flags.

See below for Virtue flags (e.g. 'Virtue -c' for SMP execution).

BEWARE: The Virtue interpreter is a work in progress (both linguistical and implementational). Therefore there are quite a few bugs, which may creep up unexpectedly.

Virtue examples:

Words and letters: Words.virt.

Count the number of words in input text :

'This is a text with seven words' words.

Give the frequency of each letter in input text:

'This is a slightly longer text with more letters to count their occurences in this test text' letters.

You can also read a text from file: 'Some_file.txt' TEXTREAD letters.

Multidimensional sphere: Sphere.virt.

Try for example: 21i21j21k21 10i10j10k10 9 sphere.

Multidimensional elipsoid: Elipsoid.virt.

Try for example: 21i21j21k21 10i10j10k10 7i3j5k9 elipsoid.

Beware: there is a lot of empty space.

Fibonacci numbers generator: Fibonacci.virt.

Calculate first 1300 Fibonacci numbers : 1300 INTERVAL resfib EACH.

"fib" is an OPERATOR, so you can use it with EACH as: 1300 INTERVAL @fib GET EACH.

Conway's Game of Life: Life.virt.

Mandelbrot and Julia sets generator/visualiser: Mandelbrot.virt.

Portable Pix Map renderer: Render.virt.

Render to a .ppm file:

Set the appropriate colorspace: e.g. default cosmap @colorspace SET.

Generate picture and render to file, for example:

512i512 .. 255i255 - MAGNITUDE 'sphere' ppm.

Open with any picture viewer.

Virtue flags:

Usage: Virtue -h -v -vv -q -u -c<arg> -c -th<arg> -t -p -pp<arg> -i{f,t,s} 

Where:
-h    This usage message
-v    Print version information.
-vv   Print version and other (possibly) interesting information.

-q    Quiet, non-interactive mode:
      no copyright notice, or any other text,
      except error messages.

-u    Unconstrain the access to files in directories of higher
      hierarchical position. Any file the user has permissions
      to read/write/append to will be accepted.

-c<number of processors>
-c    for automatic selection of <number of processors>
      Use SMP with <number of processors>.
-th<threads per processor>
      Specify number of threads per processor (SMP only)
      The default is 4.

-t    Print process timing information.
-p    Print performance information.
-pp<processor speed in MHz>
      Print processor performance information.
-i    Print summary of instruction timings when exiting
      (if not quiet).
-if   Print full summary of instruction timings,
      including floating point performance, when exiting
      (if not quiet).
-it   Print terse operations/S per instruction,
      when exiting (if not quiet).
-is   Print just the summary of average operation timings
      when exiting (if not quiet).
