Antgrid is another language devised by Moon (talk) 22:07, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Core design

Antgrid uses a two dimensional grid of data to represent the program, it also supports threading.

programs are represented by grids, like so:

++*
*$*
*+o

They use different symbols to represent each command

+: Increment the data under the variable
-: Decrement the data under the variable
>: change the pointer on the x axis by 1
<: change the pointer on the x axis by -1
[: if the current value under the pointer is 0, skip ahead, obeying * and $ commands until it reaches a ]
]: if the current value under the pointer is 1, skip back, obeying * and $ commands until it reaches a [
*: changes the direction of execution clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on a special value used by $, if it is 0, clockwise, otherwise counter-clockwise
$: changes a special value to 1 or zero, depending on the last value
1: forces the special value to 1
0: forces the special value to 0
i: takes input and puts it in the value under the pointer
0: prints out the value under the pointer
|: branches the program, initializing a new thread, the new thread has its own version of 'the special value', initialized as 0
#: kills the thread that runs it

as of now, none exist
