# Poryscript

> Poryscript compiles a higher-level script into the script bytecode used by pokeemerald, pokefirered, and pokeruby. It adds if, elif, else, while, do...while, and switch, and formats inline text for the in-game box. ./poryscript reads a file or standard input and writes a script file or standard output. -s sets a compile-time switch such as VERSION=RUBY. The program is written in Go. go build produces the poryscript binary, and ./install.sh copies it into a decompilation project.
