Hi
I have a suggestion for a new esolang. Of course, the rules are only suggestions, and may be changed. I'm hoping this can make it to the "ongoing projects" page at the wiki! :)
** Add a hardcoded constant to its current label number.
** Subtract a hardcoded constant from its current label number.
** Multiply its label number by a hardcoded constant.
** Given hardcoded integers X and Y, perform any of the above operations to all the instructions with label X, with argument Y.
** Output its current label number to user.
** Change its label number to a user-input value.
After an instruction is executed, its label number X is taken. An interpreter shall then take the next instruction with label not smaller than X, and execute that instruction, ad infinitum; until the next instruction is found to be 0, whereupon the program shall terminate. If two or more subsequent instructions have equal labels, they shall be executed in implementation-defined order.
In short: instructions are always executed in sorted order, with the stability of the internal sort function regarded as implementation-specific.
Addendum:
There are a couple of logical errors in the original rule text, and too much redundancy, I suppose. (Yep, it's intended to be another tarpit.) Here is the revised syntax list, with refinements.
Instructions
Program terminates when there are no more instructions past the current one to be executed.
Infinite loop
1. this + 0 //"+/- 0" == no-op
1. this + 0Meh, I'll be spending a couple hours figuring out Hello World. Wish me luck.
Why don't you put a description on the wiki? My impression is this forum is not used much, I come here only rarely.
