You Can Use Our Coding Language

Universe Programming Language

By Youcef Dev

Universe is a modern programming language designed for simplicity, speed, and power. Even if you have never coded before, Universe makes it easy to start writing scripts and building applications.

🌟 What is Programming?

Programming is giving instructions to a computer so it can do what you want. In Universe, these instructions are written in .uni files called scripts.

Example of a script:

say("hello world");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will make the computer display "hello world".

🚀 Features

  • ✅ Easy to learn: Universe has a modern and simple syntax that is beginner-friendly.
  • ✅ Powerful standard library: Ready-made tools to do things like math, text, and GUI creation.
  • ✅ One-line GUI creation: Build simple graphical applications without writing complex code.
  • ✅ Cross-platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

🛠️ Getting Started (Step by Step for Beginners)

1. Install Universe

  • Download universe.exe from the github repo .
  • Add it to your system PATH so you can run it from any terminal.

2. Install the VS Code Extension
