Esomachine

Esomachine is a cell-based esolang that has an accumulator and it's based on the game Human Resource Machine.

Memory

Memory is an infinite tape but every cell is locked which means they can't be modified, to modify a cell you need to unlock it first.

Syntax

The syntax of a command is very simple, they are like this:

<instruction>[<parameter>,<parameter 2>](linebreak)

In <instruction> you put the instruction

In <parameter> you put the parameter that the instruction uses

If the instruction uses two parameters, you put the comma and in <parameter 2> you put the second parameter

(linebreak) means that you need to put a line break

Example

hi[34]

Comments

The syntax of a comment is

\<comment>

In <comment> you put the comment

Commands

Instruction	Parameter/s	Does
INDEX_STATE	<0 or 1> <number>	Sets the cell specified by the second parameter to locked or unlocked 0 makes it locked 1 makes it unlocked
INDEX_SET	<number> <address>	Sets the cell specified by the parameter one to the parameter two
HANDS_CONLANG	<+ or - or / or *> <number>	Does an operation specified by the first parameter, using the accumulator as the left operand and the second parameter as the right operand
HANDS_JUMP	<NEGATIVE/POSITIVE/ZERO/DONTCARE> <number>	Jumps to a line of code specified by the second parameter, the first parameter is the jump type which are: NEGATIVE Jumps if the accumulator is negative POSITIVE Jumps if the accumulator is positive ZERO Jumps if the accumulator is zero DONTCARE Jumps because yes
HANDS_EXPECT		Gets a character input and stores its ASCII code into the accumulator
OUTPUT	<number>	Outputs the ASCII character associated with the value of the cell specified by the first parameter

Using hand

When a parameter uses a number or an address you can put HANDS instead of a number or an address, that means that instead of using a number or an adress it will use the value that is holding the accumulator.

Using indirect addressing

When a parameter uses a number or an address you can surround it with brackets, now that means that instead of using the number, it will use the value of the cell specified by that number in brackets.

Examples

Truth-machine

HANDS_EXPECT[] \line 1
INDEX_STATE[1, 1] \line 2
INDEX_SET[1, HANDS] \line 3
HANDS_CONLANG[-, 48] \ The ascii value of 0 \line 4
HANDS_JUMP[ZERO, 8] \line 5
OUTPUT[1] \line 6
HANDS_JUMP[DONTCARE, 6] \line 7
OUTPUT[1]  \line 8

Cat program

An infinitely repeating cat program constitutes the following:

HANDS_EXPECT[]
INDEX_STATE[1, 1]
INDEX_SET[1, HANDS]
OUTPUT[1]
HANDS_JUMP[POSITIVE, 1]

Interpreter
