'genie' programming language usage outside Puppy Linux

Question

I would like to try programming genie, but I can't find neither source code for it nor any version control repository. Does anybody know where can it be found?

Answer 1

It looks like the sources are all in the valagenie{parser,scanner,tokentype}.vala files at Gnome's git repo.

It makes sense that Genie's sources are in the vala tree because you have to use valac to compile Genie scripts. Without actually examining the source, I'm presuming that Genie just gets translated to Vala.

Answer 2

With Ubuntu 12.4 only type:

$ sudo apt-get install valac

After you could use some libreries like:

1) GTK+

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

2) Dynamic listes

$ sudo apt-get install gee-1.0

3) Programation IDE: There is Valide too, but doesnt in repositories.

$ sudo apt-get install geany 

and more see in Valadoc.org
