Hey, this is just my sandbox =P hence the name. This article is going to be for my programming language PNGlish Please let me know if you see any grammar or spelling mistakes.

Overview
PNGlish is designed to be an aid to programming by simplifying the syntax into a more "normal" English sentence. It was created by Steven D West, basically because he was bored and had nothing better to do, in the end of May. The first version was released in beta on the 31st May 2007. There are no official version numbers, things just get added with out much forward planning.

PNGlish stands for PHP eNterGrated English.

Currently PNGlish is very restrictive in its function as only a handful of commands are supported. There are plans to add more commands at a later date as an ongoing project.

The compiler
The compiler is PHP based and therefore is only available on-line. The plus side of this is that no extra software is needed for the user to use the compiler. The compiler takes the user's input then changes it to PHP code, but otherwise does not run any actual code. At the moment PHP is the only language that PNGlish will compile into but there are plans to add other languages at a later date.

The compiler is set up to make adding other languages easy so if there are any programmers out there who would be interested in adding new languages to the PNGlish engine then please contact User:Uru_wolf for more information.

The compiler is free to use but the source code is currently closed source. After an reasonable amount of progress has been made with PNGlish it will be released under a less restrictive license.
