A simple esolang interpreter

I've been working on something but it's taking longer than I expected lol.

@JMM161437 This is concerning your project right?

JMM161437

@LucasJG25 yeah should of said I haven't checked it out... my bigger fuze product is done, but I keep wanting to add more to it

LucasJG25

@JMM161437 Have you got a shared code for that?

JMM161437

I do but never posted it... not sure if I'm allowed to post showcase submission codes or not

LucasJG25

@JMM161437 I see. Is this the digital circuits project you told me about?

JMM161437

@LucasJG25 no that one I'm working on now and it ain't even close to done... the one I'm working on that's basically done but feels needs more to it is my small 3 level 3D game called Galactic Bolts... I just implemented a lot of suggestions to it and am excited to show it off just not too sure if sharing the share ID would make sense if it gets into the showcase for everyone to download

LucasJG25

@JMM161437 I see

JMM161437

@LucasJG25 yeah.. as for the electronics it's in the planning stages as for now with a small buggy prototype... so far I have logic gates, LEDs, power suppy, and switches to toggle

LucasJG25

Sounds really interesting. Looking forward to try it out.

JMM161437

well when It's done I'll definitely let you know!

LucasJG25

Added more commands. Now you can branch with B or b and return back to that point in the code where you branched and continue as is.

Ok, I think that will be enough for this Esolang now. With increase RAM/ROM capacity and larger screen buffer size. That should enable you guys to do whatever you like. As said above this will be my last upgrade to this language. Hope you guys have fun with it! :D

JMM161437

thanks! so much memory... endless possiblities -evil insane laughter-

LucasJG25

@JMM161437 I've also changed the instruction operands. Now it's more easier to load and save to RAM, use RAM as a pointer, or with registers.

JMM161437

@LucasJG25 thats awesome! oh btw my Circuit Designer project I need help... should I simulate wire resistance and component overload if the voltage is too high on the power supply/ resistor value is too low to limit the current... also should I add a simulated AC power source or is that too much

LucasJG25

@JMM161437 I think those are great ideas for your project. Plus, this could be a great way to teach electronics as well. So I'd say go for it!

JMM161437

good point @LucasJG25... might make it an educational type of project to learn at least the basics or electronics... thanks for your feedback!

The latest update is now live. Enjoy!!

So, I've been doing some reading on the 6502 assembly language and I'm thinking of adjusting the Esolang to enable labels to be used within the operands. I'm thinking that this will enable even more flexibility with the Esolang as I'm sure it's still difficult to create labels in the current version. Here is a BNF (Backus-Naur form) of the updated language and how it would work.

    L -> <reg>, (<sym><num> | "*"<label>)
    C -> <reg>, (<sym><num> | "*"<label>)
    A -> <reg>, (<sym><num> | "*"<label>)
    a -> <reg>, (<sym><num> | "*"<label>)
    S -> <reg>, ("*"<label> | <sym><num>)
    J -> "*"<label> | <sym><num>
    j -> "*"<label> | <sym><num>
    g -> Get data from screen buffer---------------------------
    P -> Display entire screen buffer                           | Imperative instruction
    p -> Acc => screenBuffer(reg_y * screenWidth + reg_x)       | No operands for these 
                                                                | instructions.
    i -> input stream                                           |
    R -> Return back to (B | b)                                 |
    M -> switch modes | char | number -------------------------
    B -> "*"<label> | <sym><num>
    b -> "*"<label> | <sym><num>

    Label Declaration:
    <label> "=" "$"<num> | @<label>
    <label> ::= ("a-z" | "A-Z")
