SPBCL

Simple program-based computing language (SPBCL) is a Turing-complete esoteric programming language developed by User:Notjohnconway that is based off of the simple 1-dimensional programs described in Stephen Wolfram's book A New Kind of Science. It is currently in development.

Definition operator
The definition operator := gives a function, number, or other value a label that can be called upon later in the program. For example:

Input: label := Num[10,5] print[label] Output Num[10,5]

Equality operator
The equality operator = takes a statement and outputs a truth value 0 or 1. It can be used in tandem with the if:/then operators.

Input print[1+1 = 3] Output 0

if:/then operators
The if: and then operators take an input (usually a truth value) and give an output based on that operator.

Input if: 1+1 = 2 then: print['true']

Output true

print[x] operator
The print[x] operator simply outputs x.

Input print['x'] Output x

Functions
See: Simple programs

Numbers
Numbers are given in the form Num[b,v] in which b represents the base of the number (in base 10) and v represents the value of the number.

Truth values
Truth values are 0 or 1.

Plaintext
Plaintext values are statements and are given as ' arbitrary text '

Cellular automata
Cellular automata are given as Ca[s,r,i,g] in which s is the number of states, r is a rulestring, i is the input, and g is the number of generations to iterate it in base 10. It outputs the minimum number of cells needed to define the state (that is, all cells not given are taken to be state 0).

Input print[Ca[2,
