GenZ# Compiler

A custom programming language and compiler implemented in C#, featuring a Gen Z–inspired syntax and a WPF-based interactive compiler UI.

Overview

GenZ# is an educational programming language designed to make learning compiler construction more engaging by replacing traditional syntax with modern slang-inspired keywords — while preserving strict typing and structure.

The project includes:

• Lexical analysis (Scanner)
• Recursive-descent parsing (AST generation)
• Semantic analysis with scope & type checking
• Interactive WPF compiler interface

Language Features

• Custom keywords (e.g. lwk, grind, fumble)
• FAT-style block delimiters (<letscook / cooked>)
• Strong typing with type inference (sus)
• Relatable error messages

Architecture

• Scanner — Tokenizes source code using prioritized regex rules
• Parser — Builds an AST using LL-style recursive descent
• Semantic Analyzer — Performs scope management, type checking, and validation
• WPF UI — Visualizes tokens, AST, and semantic analysis results

How to Run

1. Open GenZ_WPF.sln in Visual Studio
2. Build and run the project
3. Write GenZ# code in the editor and compile
