Bitbot is an esolang created on the 18th of June, 2021 by User:Toxinite.

Overview

Bitbot programs are used to control a data pointer in an infinite 2d grid of bits, starting all at 0. The data pointer also has access to a byte that is carried with it wherever it goes (starting at zero). Bitbot has more complex features too, such as advanced IO ,making your own functions and creating copies of the data pointer called bots.

IO Capabilities

There is a toggle-able camera with different zoom and position options, thus allowing graphical output such as basic pictures. Audio output is available too, letting you create simple songs, sound effects and likely more. When the program needs input, it can either wait for an answer or simply use any key that is pressed down.

Commands

Instruction set

Code	Description	Example code
flip(x)	Flips the specified bit (n(x) can be implied)(multiple inputs flips them all)	flip(0,1,2,cell)
n(x)	Specifies a bit in the portable byte (cell is the cell the data pointer is on)(byte is the entire p-byte)	if{n(6) != cell)}[swap(n(6),cell)]
if{x}[y]	An if statement (else can be added with else[z])	if{cell = 1}[print]
(by:x){y}/(by:bd-x){y}	Repeats code the specified amount. (bd-x){y} acts like n(x) and decrements the specific bit	(by:6){move} or (by:bd-2){print}
swap(x,y)	Swaps two values. Any more than two values is an error	swap(n(0),n(1))
turn:l/r	Turns the data pointer	if{n(0) != 1}[turn:l]else[turn:r]
func{a(%b,{%c}...%n)}[x]	Creates a function to make coding easier (definable anywhere and isn't run in the func{x}[y] code)({%c} is a piece of code)	func{3in({%have},%any,%name)}[flip(%any,n(%name),cell),{%have}]
audio(x,y,z)	Plays audio in which w and x decide if it's sine, square ect and y is frequency in hertz	audio(1,1,500)
camera(x,y)	Camera in which x is zoom (default is 100) and y is camera movement (1 to follow pointer, 0 for stationary)	camera(150,0)
halt(x)	Pauses the program for x seconds (halt(input) will wait until there is input)	halt(5.8)
input	Any key currently pressed	byte = input
sendbot{x}[y]	Sends the specified bot code (func{x}[y] code can be sent without definition)	sendbot{1,87}[print]
killbot(x)	Deletes the specified bot (killbot(0) will work but is a bad idea as the data pointer will be deleted)	killbot(2)
makebot	Creates a new bot
move	Moves the data pointer forwards
print	Prints the p-byte as an ASCII character
camtoggle	Toggles the camera on or off
stopsound(x,y)	Stops sounds of the specified pure tone (see reference 3)
#x#	Used as a multi-line comment

Small programs

Hello world:

byte = 01001000, print,
byte = 01100101, print,
byte = 01101100, print, print,
byte = 01101111, print,
byte = 00101100, print,
byte = 00100000, print,
byte = 01110111, print,
byte = 01101111, print,
byte = 01110010, print,
byte = 01101100, print,
byte = 01100100, print,
byte = 00100001, print,

Truth machine:

halt(input)
byte = input
if{byte = 00110000}[print],
if{byte = 00110001}[flip(cell), (by:bd-cell){print, flip(cell)}],

Cat:

flip(cell),
(by:bd-cell){byte = input, print, flip(cell)},
