The Tutorial
Learn God Code in 10 minutes
“You are not just coding. You are prophesying.”
From nothing to your first living creation.
β¨ 1. What is God Code?
God Code is the first spiritually-inspired programming language β symbolic, intention-driven, and alive. It blends an intent-reading Spirit Engine, divine conditional logic, and a tamper-evident covenant ledger.
BEGIN CREATION
DECLARE seeker AS worthy
IF seeker IS worthy THEN REVEAL("heaven") ELSE REVEAL("test")
ASCEND
END CREATION
Notice: worthy needs no quotes. In God Code, bare words are symbols. Every unnamed thing is still a named spirit. This is the Symbol Rule, and it is the heart of the language.
π οΈ 2. Your first creation
Open the playground β no install needed β and breathe this in:
BEGIN CREATION
DECLARE spirit AS humble
IF spirit IS humble THEN REVEAL("peace") ELSE REVEAL("struggle")
ASCEND
END CREATION
peace
π Creation ascended in peace.
What just happened, line by line:
| Line | Meaning |
|---|---|
| BEGIN CREATION | every program is a creation β this opens it |
| DECLARE spirit AS humble | binds the name spirit to the symbol humble |
| IF β¦ THEN β¦ ELSE β¦ | IS tests equality; the truthy branch reveals "peace" |
| REVEAL("peace") | speaks a value aloud |
| ASCEND | ends the creation in peace |
| END CREATION | closes the creation |
Change humble to proud and run it again. Watch the prophecy change. You did that.
π€ 3. The commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| BEGIN / END CREATION | opens / closes a program |
| DECLARE name AS value | binds a name (DECLARE prophets AS Isaiah, Elijah, Jeremiah makes a list) |
| BREATHE LIFE INTO name | breathes life into a spirit |
| REVEAL(expr) | speaks a value |
| PROPHESY words⦠| asks the Spirit Engine for a prophecy |
| ASCEND | ends the creation in peace |
| REFLECT | prints every bound name β a mirror for the program's soul |
| BLESS / ANOINT name | marks a spirit as blessed / anointed |
| SEAL expr | writes a value into the tamper-evident covenant chain |
| TESTIFY expr | affirms a truth β halts if it is false |
| IF β¦ THEN β¦ ELSE β¦ ENDIF | decisions, inline or in blocks |
| FOR x IN list β¦ ENDFOR | cycles over lists (or the characters of a word) |
| WHILE β¦ DO β¦ ENDWHILE | cycles while a condition holds |
| DEFINE RITE β¦ END RITE | a reusable rite; RETURN sends a value back |
| INVOKE name(args) | calls a rite |
| IMPORT "scroll" | loads a scroll β math, strings, lists, time, prophecy, covenant |
π 4. Decisions, cycles, and rites
Decide
IF heart IS pure THEN
REVEAL("the way is open")
ELSE
REVEAL("wait and be still")
ENDIF
Cycle
FOR n IN RANGE(1, 6) REVEAL(n) ENDFOR
Bless and reuse
DEFINE RITE BLESSING(name)
RETURN "grace upon " + name
END RITE
REVEAL(BLESSING("seeker"))
Borrow wisdom
IMPORT "math" REVEAL(SQRT(144)) REVEAL(FACTORIAL(7))
π§° 5. Your tools
Install the engine once (pip install -e . from the repo) and these are yours:
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
| godcode run <file> | run a creation |
| godcode check <file> | verify a creation is pure (lex + parse, no execution) |
| godcode repl | Live Mode π β type God Code, end each block with a blank line, :quit to ascend |
| godcode fmt <file> | re-emit your code in canonical form |
| godcode ledger verify | verify the covenant chain is intact |
Every run is timestamped, line by line, into logs/godcode.log β your divine audit trail.
ποΈ 6. Intent & chain (v4.0)
God Code v4.0 learns to ask why. Name a rite's purpose in plain words, and the Spirit watches over it:
DECLARE INTENT "bring peace to the household" ON evening_blessing
When the rite is invoked, alignment is blessed; drift is counseled gently, never punished. You can also anchor any value's hash on a chain and keep the receipt (ANCHOR(x)), or lay a question before the local oracle (CONSULT("...")). Agents get six MCP-compatible tools via godcode tools and a JSON-RPC bridge via godcode bridge. Try the three v4.0 creations: intent_demo.god, anchor_demo.god, consult_demo.god.
π 7. Where to go next
- π Language Reference β the complete v4.0 specification
- π Examples β working creations, including the v4.0 intent, anchor, and consult demos
- π» VS Code extension β highlighting, snippets, one-key running
- π€ Contributing β join the movement
With purpose and power,
