OCRLang

An interpreter for OCR's exam reference language used in the j277 course

It implements everything from the spec (in section 3c), but liberties have been taking as the spec is hardly very specific on everything other than syntax (and even then it isn't the best).

Installation

Prebuilt binaries

Go to the releases page & download the archive for your platform, then extract it wherever you like.

From source

You'll need an up to date Rust toolchain. Development happens on the latest stable version, so no guarantees that older versions will work.
