Rockstar Docs

This is the official documentation for Rockstar v2.

Yes, the joke has documentation. If we didn't have docs, we wouldn't be able to make a joke about how Tommy used to work on the docs.

• Getting Started

  The basics: scream, shout, whisper, comments, and how to put guitar chords in your Rockstar programs.

• Types and Values

  Meet Rockstar's type systems: numbers, strings, booleans, null, and mysterious.

• Variables

  Ever wished you could create a variable with a space in it? Welcome to Rockstar, friend. We got you.

• Arithmetic

  You want to add two numbers together? Boring. Go play with JavaScript. You want to divide a string by another string? Now we're talking.

• Binary Logic

  Truth, truthiness, false, falseyness... and Rockstar is the only programming language in the world in which a variable can be totally non non non non NON heinous.

• Expression Lists

  What's the difference between a variable list, an expression list, and a primary list? Do you care? We care. Not a lot, but we do.

• Flow Control

  If, else, otherwise, loops, until, while... and how to end a block, oooh, yeah, baby.

• Functions

  Like many of the fine rock'n'rollers who inspired it, Rockstar can't really be said to be functional - but it does have functions.

• Arrays and Collections

  Whether it's a set list, the stack of 4x12 speaker cabinets, or the queue of eager fans waiting to get into the show, rock'n'roll is all about collections. Just no hashes until after the show, OK?

• Conversions and Mutations

  Every great entourage has a fixer: the person who sorts out those last few bits that weren't really anybody else's job. Conversions and mutations are Rockstar's fixers: if you need to parse strings into numbers, convert character codes, we got you.
