Wurstscript is a delicious programming language which compiles to Jass or Lua code that is used to power WarCraft III maps.

User Documentation

Compiler Build Process

For contributing/developing the compiler, Java 25 is required.
End users normally do not need to install/configure Java manually for the standard Wurst setup flow.

Clone the repository and open the de.peeeq.wurstscript folder which contains the compiler project.

Using Gradle

Use the gradle wrapper to run required tasks, it will download gradle automatically. Replace [task_name] with the desired task.

.\gradlew [task_name]

Examples

To update the local compiler installation used by vscode run

.\gradlew make_for_userdir

For deploying .jars and .zips see tasks in deploy.gradle

.\gradlew create_zip_wurstpack_compiler

Import into IDE

You can import the compiler project into any IDE that provides a gradle plugin. For IntelliJ IDEA, you can simply execute ./gradlew openIdea. To run the Test Suite, execute AllTests.xml with TestNG.
