Create Simple Scanner #12

Open Uplink036 opened 12 months ago

Uplink036 commented 12 months ago

A scanner is a way to simplify our source code for easier handling latter, such as with a abstract syntax tree (AST) or a parser.

It should be able to:

[ ] Read a file / string
[ ] Replace aliases with a core word
[ ] Check capitalization.
[ ] Return simplified text / version

Optional / future

[ ] Tokenize our text further

Search and replace for key aliases.
