I've tried to write a as-portable-as-possible script for downloading the source code and building the Analog Clock in AEC (AEC being the programming language I've designed and written two compilers for).
For AEC-to-x86:
For AEC-to-WebAssembly:
Is there anybody knowledgeable about various operating systems here to know how to make the scripts better?

Doesn't your university have instructors?

You really think I should e-mail some of my professors about this?

Is there anybody knowledgeable about various operating systems here to know how to make the scripts better?

Yes.

My consulting rate is $250 USD / hour with a 4 hour minimum.

Also, do your own damn homework.

I will charge only $400 an hour for subcontracting to Jackalope

So, it's subcontractors all the way down then.

It's obvious that you need help.  You are in your fifth year of a three year program.  

And I agree, do your own work.

Have you tried heating it to a cherry-red colour and then beating it with a hammer?
