## ✨ What Makes Whisper Unique?

- **File Extensions**: `.wsp` or `.whisper` - your choice!
- **Conversational Syntax**: Write code like you're having a conversation
- **Question-Based Logic**: Ask questions with yes/no answers
- **Story Objects**: Create characters and objects with properties
- **Natural Commands**: Multiple ways to express the same thing
- **Beginner-Friendly**: Read and write code in plain English
- **Fully Featured**: Functions, loops, lists, file I/O, and more

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install whisper-lang
```

### Hello World

Create `hello.wsp` (or `hello.whisper`):

```whisper
hey whisper, remember that name is "World"
tell me "Hello, " + name + "!"
```

Run it:

```bash
whisper hello.wsp
# Both .wsp and .whisper extensions are supported
```

## 🎯 Examples

### 1. Conversational Variables

```whisper
# Talk to Whisper naturally
hey whisper, remember that score is 0
whisper, so lives is 3

# Or use traditional syntax
let player be "Alice"
set level to 1
```

### 2. Question-Based Conditions

```whisper
is age greater than 18?
    yes:
        tell me "You can vote!"
    no:
        tell me "Too young to vote"
```

### 3. Story-Like Programming

```whisper
# Create objects with properties
there is a hero with health 100, power 50
there is a dragon with health 200, damage 30

# Perform actions
the hero loses 20 health
the dragon loses 30 health
the hero gains 10 power
```

### 4. Natural Loop Control

```whisper
do 10 times:
    let num be randint(1, 10)
    
    when num is 5:
        skip  # Skip 5
    
    when num is 9:
        end loop  # Exit loop
    
    show num
```

### 5. Functions & Logic

```whisper
define greet with name, age:
    whisper "Hello, " + name + "!"
    
    is age greater than 18?
        yes:
            tell me "Welcome, adult!"
        no:
            tell me "Welcome, young one!"
    
    give back "Greeting complete"

call greet with "Alice", 25
```

## 📚 Core Features

### Variables (Multiple Ways!)
```whisper
remember that x is 10        # Conversational
let y be 20                  # Traditional
set z to 30                  # Alternative
so w is 40                   # Shorthand
forget about old_var         # Delete
```

### Output (Choose Your Style!)
```whisper
whisper "Hello"              # Classic
show value                   # Simple
tell me "Message"            # Conversational
just say "Quick"             # Casual
announce "No newline"        # Inline
```

### Conditionals
```whisper
# When/Otherwise (if/elif/else)
when x greater than 10:
    show "Big"
or when x greater than 5:
    show "Medium"
otherwise:
    show "Small"

# Question format
is x equals 10?
    yes:
        show "Perfect!"
    no:
        show "Try again"
```

### Loops
```whisper
do 5 times:                  # Repeat N times
    show "Hello"

repeat 10:                   # Alternative syntax
    show "Counting"

while count less than 10:    # While loop
    increase count by 1

for each item in items:      # For-each loop
    show item
```

### Lists
```whisper
make fruits with ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
add "grape" to fruits
remove "banana" from fruits

for each fruit in fruits:
    show fruit
```

### Functions
```whisper
define calculate with a, b:
    let sum be a + b
    let product be a * b
    give back sum

call calculate with 10, 5
show __last_result__
```

### File Operations
```whisper
write "Hello, File!" to "output.txt"
read "input.txt" into content
show content
```

### Error Handling
```whisper
attempt:
    let result be 10 / 0
handle:
    whisper "Error: " + error
```

### Math & Random
```whisper
let x be sqrt(16)           # 4
let y be pow(2, 3)          # 8
let z be randint(1, 100)    # Random 1-100

increase score by 10
decrease lives by 1
```

### String Operations
```whisper
uppercase "hello" into upper    # HELLO
lowercase "WORLD" into lower    # world
```

## 🎮 Complete Example: Number Guessing Game

```whisper
# Number Guessing Game
whisper "=== Guess the Number ==="

let secret be randint(1, 100)
let attempts be 0

while attempts less than 10:
    increase attempts by 1
    ask "Guess (1-100):" into guess
    
    is guess equals secret?
        yes:
            whisper "🎉 Correct! You win!"
            show "Attempts: " + attempts
            end loop
        no:
            when guess greater than secret:
                tell me "Too high!"
            otherwise:
                tell me "Too low!"
    
    let remaining be 10 - attempts
    show "Tries left: " + remaining

whisper "Thanks for playing!"
```
