*pyra

a comfy language

pyra lets you write games and programs in a way that feels natural to you ! here's what it looks like :

* you feel curious
| you are at: Place
| Place has; a Book
| Book teaches: pyra
  - you open the Book
  - a handwritten note appears
  - you read the note

it's a variant of Nova with a distinct style that's intended to be highly readable for people who are sensitive to visual clutter . it also compiles to many different outputs :

documentation

pyra can be downloaded here . because it's so similar to Nova , you may find yumaikas' Introduction to Nova series to be a useful resource . the following guides are under construction :

  • introduction to pyra
  • installation and setup
  • stacks and variables
  • making games with LÖVE
  • building web apps with JavaScript

made with pyra
