Running CX

To run a CX program, you have to type, for example, cx the-program.cx. Let's try to run some examples from the examples directory in this repository. In a terminal, type this:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/cx/
cx examples/hello-world.cx

This should print Hello World! in the terminal. Now try running cx examples/opengl/game.cx.

Other Options

If you write cx --help or cx -h, you should see a text describing CX's usage, options and more.

Some interesting options are:

  • --base which generates a CX program's assembly code (in Go)
  • --compile which generates an executable file
  • --repl which loads the program and makes CX run in REPL mode (useful for debugging a program)
  • --web which starts CX as a RESTful web service (you can send code to be evaluated to this endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:5336/eval)
