+#### Welcome to the world of SlideScript!                ####
+#### This script is here for the learning purposes of SS ####
+#### Any line starting with a hashtag will treated as a  ####
+#### comment!                                            ####

+# Slide Script, also refered to as SS, is extremely forgiving in
+# syntax handling!
+# Example:
+#    print "content"
+#    print("content")
+###
+### These will operate properly, as well as:
+# Example:
+#    write "filename.txt" "data"
+#    write "filename.txt", "data"
+#    write("filename.txt" "data")
+#    write("filename.txt", "data")
+#
+#   IT ALL WORKS! 
+# SlideScript really syntaxes based on quotes and key function words, 
+# as well as pipes. It really doesn't mind whats around it otherwise
+# And every variable is called by %varname%, defining variables, as normal
+
+# Variables in SS
+ss_filename=file.txt
+ss_stringdata=Data to encrypt and decrypt
+ss_exec_command=uname -a
+
+# Printing function in SS
+print "Welcome to SlideScript!"
+# Sleep function in SS
+print "Some content to print, working with '%ss_filename%' today!"
+# Below demonstrates SS encrypting a string, passing the output
+# over a pipe, and using the write function and %PIPE% variable
+# holding the first functions output, writes to %ss_filename%; file.txt
+### %PIPE% is the output from the first line function, enc
+### %PIPE% is always applied when a pipe is used!
+encode "%ss_stringdata%" | write "%ss_filename%" "%PIPE%" 
+# You're left with file.txt, lets move on
+
+# Lets read the file we just created and show how SS handles its
+# own decryption algorithm
+read "%ss_filename%" | decrypt "%PIPE%"
+# Will display the original variable string!
+
+# SS MD5 function
+# Lets get the md5sum of file.txt with our md5 function
+md5 "%ss_filename%" | write "%ss_filename%.md5" "%PIPE%"
+# Use a pipe, and push the md5 into a text file of file.txt
+
+# You can also stack pipes for whatever tasks you may need
+# Here's the encrypt function in action, can also be used as encode
+md5 "%ss_filename%" | encode "%PIPE%" | write "%ss_filename%.md5.enc" "%PIPE%"
+
+# Read md5 file
+print "%ss_filename%.md5:"
+read "%ss_filename%.md5"
+
+# Read encrypted md5 file and decrypt using decode alias
+print "%ss_filename%.md5.enc:"
+read "%ss_filename%.md5.enc" | decode "%PIPE%"
+
+# Delete function, SS can delete files and directories with one function
+# NOTE: it is extremely powerful and can wreck your system if used in the
+# wrong way! Proceed with caution, delete "/" WILL send your files to the
+# grave.
+###
+# Lets delete the files we've been messing with, no system calls needed
+delete "%ss_filename%"
+delete "%ss_filename%.md5"
+delete "%ss_filename%.md5.enc"
+# Gone!

+print "Playing with some calc..."

+calc "32 * 1024"
+# You can pipe calc to do multi layer equations

+
+# Lets play with some big numbers here!
+# SlideScript parses its calc functions using floating points, so you can 
+# handle decimal as well
+calc "1024 * 1024" | calc "%PIPE% * %PIPE%"
+
