Skork is put on hold for a moment. I currently am developing a few applications in my final semester. I also have plans to remake what I currently have for in WPF. I will be open sourcing the GUI application of Skork. However, Skork will become a library which is not open-sourced. The GUI will only interact with the Skork library. It acts as an engine and the open source GUI is what will be open sourced for whoever to edit the layout, etc.
Skork is a custom programming language for writing a game with rules you define. Skork allows you to test code in a visual way using sprites. This project is meant for the public coding community to browse and look at current Skork code. Feel free to fork it and make any update/addition/deletion you want. But remember to do all such activities in accordance to the current license.
Typically when it comes to naming a project, I'm not very good at creating a good name. However, when it comes to this project, Skork is short and unique. After saying it a few times, I found friends of mine find it easy to remember the name. For me, that's enough. A unique name that people can remember. Did I mention it sounds similar to Sprite? (the 2D character, not the lemon-lime beverage)
This is a fantastic question. I usually like to create projects and horde the code not because its great code but usually the other way around. I never created an open sourced project before and after developing the random string generator, I made a plan for my next project, whatever it is, be open-sourced. For the theme of this particular project, pretty much creating a programming language would be a huge task! Having it open sourced means others can contribute and add their code and ideas to the project to make it more useful and better. Also perhaps teach.
You can create a "game" with a ruleset you define statically or dynamically through code. It provides an easy way to visualize a ruleset or function. It might find itself being used in coding competitions for designing most simplest game and all sorts of stuff. Since Skork is a major project, not all the design has been designed if that makes sense. I know most of the functionality I want to kickstart this project with but not all of it.
