AeThex Language - Complete Implementation

🎉 The AeThex programming language has been fully implemented!

What Has Been Built

✅ Standard Library (@aethex.os/core)

Complete TypeScript implementation of all core modules:

• Passport - Universal identity management

  • Cross-platform authentication
  • Identity verification
  • Platform synchronization

• SafeInput - PII detection and scrubbing

  • Detects: phone numbers, emails, SSNs, credit cards, addresses
  • Automatic scrubbing and validation
  • COPPA-compliant input handling

• Compliance - Age gating and audit logging

  • COPPA compliance checks (13+ age gating)
  • FERPA compliance for educational records
  • Audit trail logging for all checks
  • Parental consent management

• DataSync - Cross-platform state synchronization

  • Real-time data sync across platforms
  • Conflict resolution
  • Platform-specific data persistence

✅ Compiler (@aethex.os/cli)

Full compiler implementation with:

• Lexer - Tokenizes .aethex source code

  • All keywords: reality, journey, when, sync, notify, reveal, etc.
  • Operators, literals, identifiers
  • Comment handling

• Parser - Builds Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)

  • Complete grammar support
  • Error reporting with line/column numbers
  • Expression parsing (binary, call, member, etc.)

• Code Generators

  • JavaScript Generator - Produces clean, idiomatic JavaScript
  • Lua Generator - Generates Roblox-compatible Lua code
  • Coming Soon: Verse (UEFN), C# (Unity)

• Semantic Analysis

  • Duplicate name checking
  • Platform validation
  • Basic type checking

✅ CLI Tool

Complete command-line interface:

# Compile files
aethex compile myfile.aethex
aethex compile myfile.aethex --target roblox --output game.lua
aethex compile myfile.aethex --watch

# Create projects
aethex new my-project
aethex new my-game --template game
aethex init

# Help
aethex --help
aethex --version

Quick Start

1. Build the Packages

# Build standard library
cd packages/aethex-core
npm install
npm run build

# Build CLI
cd ../aethex-cli
npm install
npm run build

2. Try the Examples

# Compile to JavaScript
cd packages/aethex-cli
node bin/aethex.js ../../examples/hello.aethex

# Compile to Lua (Roblox)
node bin/aethex.js ../../examples/auth.aethex --target roblox

# Watch mode
node bin/aethex.js ../../examples/hello.aethex --watch

3. Create a New Project

# Create new AeThex project
cd packages/aethex-cli
node bin/aethex.js new my-first-game

cd my-first-game
npm install
npm run build

Language Features

Realities (Namespaces)

reality MyGame {
    platforms: [roblox, web]
    type: "multiplayer"
}

Journeys (Functions)

journey ProcessScore(player, score) {
    platform: all
    
    when score > 1000 {
        notify "High score!"
    }
}

Conditionals

when player.age < 13 {
    notify "Parent permission required"
} otherwise {
    notify "Welcome!"
}

Cross-Platform Sync

import { Passport } from "@aethex.os/core"

journey SaveProgress(player) {
    sync player.passport across [roblox, web, uefn]
}

PII Protection

import { SafeInput } from "@aethex.os/core"

journey ValidateInput(userInput) {
    let result = SafeInput.validate(userInput)
    when result.valid {
        notify "Input is safe!"
    }
}

Compilation Targets

Target	Language	Status	Extension
JavaScript	JavaScript	✅ Ready	.js
Roblox	Lua	✅ Ready	.lua
UEFN	Verse	🚧 Coming Soon	.verse
Unity	C#	🚧 Coming Soon	.cs

Testing

Test the Compiler

cd packages/aethex-cli

# Test compilation
node bin/aethex.js ../../examples/hello.aethex

# Check output
cat ../../examples/hello.js

Test the Standard Library

cd packages/aethex-core
npm test

Example Output (JavaScript)

Input (hello.aethex):

reality HelloWorld {
    platforms: all
}

journey Greet(name) {
    platform: all
    notify "Hello, " + name + "!"
}

Output (hello.js):

// Generated by AeThex Compiler v1.0.0
// Target: JavaScript

const HelloWorld = {
  platforms: ["all"],
};

function Greet(name) {
  console.log(("Hello, " + name + "!"));
}

Next Steps

Publishing to npm

# Publish standard library
cd packages/aethex-core
npm version 1.0.0
npm publish --access public

# Publish CLI
cd ../aethex-cli
npm version 1.0.0
npm publish --access public

Global Installation

npm install -g @aethex.os/cli
aethex --version

Adding More Targets

1. Create new generator (e.g., VerseGenerator.ts)
2. Add to Compiler.ts
3. Test with example files
4. Update documentation
