Cousas de xentiña

Hai tempo que tiña oído falar da beleza da obra de Shakespeare, pero nunca lera nada dela. Un atopa unha linguaxe de programación fermosa como python e esquécese de seguir buscando algo mellor, sen se parar a pensar que ó mellor aínda se pode construír código cunha maior eleganza.

Pois ben, onte, de casualidade, atopei a que agora é a miña linguaxe de preferenza: Shakespeare. A súa beleza, a súa estética, o seu estilo é inigualable comparado co resto de linguaxes que levo visto ata o de agora. Será difícil que un día atope unha linguaxe que me pareza claramente mellor, que me sorprenda e agrade tanto.

Características

Ó principio da obra defínese un título.

Na obra deben intervir alomenos un actor. Os actores son os que gardan os valores (enteiros) durante a actuación. Os actores poden gardar máis dun valor empregando a súa memoria (unha pila, stack).

A obra divídise en actos e os actos en escenas. A obra debe ter alomenos un acto e un acto alomenos unha escena.

Nas escenas defínense os actores que entran e saen, pero en todo momento ten que haber un ou dous actores. Ó final da obra deben saír todos.

Os actores poden coller/dicir os seus valores en forma de enteiro ou de caracter ASCII asociado a ese valor. Para que un actor diga o seu valor enteiro o outro actor debe dicir: "Open your heart", mentres que se se quere o código ASCII deberá dicir: "Speak your mind". De igual xeito, para que un actor colla un valor o outro actor deberá dicir: "Open your mind" ou "Listen to your heart".

Para darlle valor a un actor o outro actor ten que dicir: "You are as X as VALOR". Onde X é un adxectivo e VALOR un enteiro.

Os enteiros constrúense operando (suma, resta, producto, etc) sobre potencias de dous construídas da seguinte maneira: ADXECTIVO1 ADXECTIVO2 ADXECTIVO3 ... NOME. Se o nome ten cualidades positivas (rosa) vale 1, se ten cualidades negativas (porco) vale -1. Por cada adxectivo que preceda ó nome multiplícase por dous o valor.
