Ξν(XiNu or Xn) is an esoteric programming language made by Ello(me :D)

Base Syntax

Ξν has a special quirk, it is nonary, which means all of its bits can have values from 0 to 8, the bytes in Ξν are 7 bits long and a kilobyte is 1013 bytes long, all outputted text in Ξν uses a special symbol system, as follows:

also it has a pointer memory that is 1 Megabyte long, the pointer starts at the first byte of the memory, and if it moves out of the bound of the left/right ends of the memory, the pointer loops around. all the instructions are greek letters, and if an instruction uses an operand, then it's structured like this:

instruction1 operand1

Instructions

the instruction list is as follows:

α - Puts the operand in place of the byte the pointer is pointing to
β - Moves the pointer to the left
γ - Moves the pointer to the right
δ - Adds the operand to the byte the pointer is pointing to
ε - Subtracts the operand from the byte the pointer is pointing to
ζ - Saves the byte the pointer is pointing to as itself to be used as an Operand once before becoming an instruction again
η - Prints the byte the pointer is pointing to in the console as a symbol
θ - Conditional, if the byte the pointer is pointing to is more than the operand, then it executes the instruction below it, if the byte is less, then it skips that instruction
ι - Conditional, if the byte the pointer is pointing to is less than the operand, then it executes the instruction below it, if the byte is more, then it skips that instruction
κ - Repeats the code ahead operand times, the end point of the repeat is displayed with a λ

Example:"Hello World!"

The following code should print Hello World! to the console:

α 0000018
γ
α 0000013

α 0000028

Implementation

There is NO original implementation for Ξν, but anyone can make their one if they can and wanna
