Hi CHRIS! :-)

On Unix/Linux: for the parser, come up with a decent grammar, then use lex
(or flex) and yacc (or bison) to automatically generate most of the C code
for the parser. You'd also need to define some data structures to hold the
contents of a script, filled out by the parser.

For the interpreter, you need to come up with a runtime system, basically
abstractions for all the actions a script can take. So if your scripts are
allowed to declare arrays, you'd need a full memory management system for
that.
