Poncho's 0815

0815 - Language details

0815 is based around a queue and 3 registers. It understands hexadecimals only, so every numeric input and output are in hexadecimals. It also ignores everything that is not one of its instructions, for that matter: everything that is not an instruction is a comment.

Registers

0815 has 3 signed integers 64 bit wide registers: X, Y, and Z. All three are initialized with 0. X is a write only register and Z is a read only register. Y is a helper register and cannot be accessed by the programmer.

Parameters

Some of 0815 instructions need parameters. All parameters must be surrounded by colons, e.g. :3c:
Labels are also considered parameters; therefore they also need the surrounding colons.
If a parameter is needed but any is found the instruction will simply be ignored, no error message will be displayed.

Jumps

In 0815 you find 2 kinds of jumps: if Zero( # ) or if not Zero( ^ ). Jumps' labels can contain any character, except the language reserved symbols, e.g. :_loop: or :34:
If the label that the jump is pointed to is not found, the program terminates.

New lines

Either ASCII 10 or 13 will be interpreted as a new line.

Interpreter

I re-wrote my Brainfuck interpreter to run 0815 programs. This version just runs (interprets) 0815 programs.
Probably, I'll write another version that can interpret both languages, but for now, this will do.
There is another issue that I should mention: In this version, the Queue will only show its first 2070 items.
