binodu is an esoteric programming language created by asiekierka in August 2011. It operates on the concept of very simple nodes, which can do simple logic operations or trigger different nodes.
Syntax
List of commands
<...> denotes required elements. [...] denotes optional elements.
[Automatic] [Output] Node a
Default <True|False>
Compare [Store] <And|Or>
[Not] b
Action <False|True>
Fire b
Store c
Explanation
- Node a: Defines a node named "a". Can be Automatic (runs at every tick, where a new tick is made after all Automatic nodes have finished) and/or Output (its state is output after every tick, in format "a: True". Can also be OutputOnChange, which means the state is only printed out when it changes).
- Compare [Store] And/Or: Nodes for which values to check. Can be And (all have to result in true) or Or (any can result in true). [Store] means that by default, the result of the compare is stored. The default result is True. The defualt Compare is And.
- [Not] b: Check if node b is true (or false with Not)
- Action <False|True>: Defines a list of actions to perform when the result of Compare is true (or false). If not specified, this Action will run always. Multiple Actions can be defined.
- Fire b: Make Node b execute synchronously (Node a's execution pauses until Node b is fully finished).
- Store c: Store the value of node c as your own. (The default value is false).
- Default [True|False]: Defines the default value. Only read during interpreter initialization, otherwise ignored.
NOTE: Multiple pairs of compares/actions are allowed in one node. You can also nest those pairs inside of Actions.
Different commands
- Copy [Previous] d: Copy the value of node d as your own.
- Output [b]: Outputs the current state of itself (or a different node) to stdio (when 8 bits are output, it prints an ASCII character).
- Stop: Stop the node from automatically executing. (If the node is fired off again, automatic execution is restored.)
Special nodes
WARNING: Nodes marked with [o] do not have to be implemented by an interpreter for it to support binodu.
- True, False: Self-explanatory.
- [o] InputA-Z,0-9,...: Is true if the key A, B, etc... is pressed.
