Language
Registers
| Name | Definition | Short-hand |
|---|---|---|
| General Purpose | 16 registers (byte) | R1 to R16
|
| Flag | 12 registers (bit) | F1 to F4, FT1 to FT8
|
| Program Counter | A register (3 bytes) | PC
|
| Index | A register (3 bytes) | I
|
| Timer | 8 registers (2 bytes) | F1 to F8
|
Flag
| Register | Defintion |
|---|---|
| Greater (Comparison) | If the first is greater than the second. |
| Equal (Comparison) | If the first is equal than the second. |
| Underflow/Overflow (Math) | If it resulted in an underflow or overflow. |
| Intersection (Sprite) | If a sprite overlapped drawn pixels. |
Timers
The remaining 8 flags are reserved for timers, Every flag is set by default since every timer is zero by default.
A timer flag is set if its assosiated timer has reached zero, otherwise not set. Every timer decreases by one every time the program ticks (causing it to wait 1/60 of a second) excluding timers that are zero.
Memory
Font memory
Each character sprite is 8x16 (128 pixels)
Font memory consists of 2048 unmodifiable bytes, that cannot be accessed normally and are used for displaying text character sprites.
Each character is stored as 16 bytes, in order.

Regular memory
Regular memory consists of 16777216 bytes. (16 Megabytes) This memory is used for everything including program memory (which is loaded into the beginning of memory).
Persistent memory
Persistent memory also consists of 16777216 bytes. (16 Megabyte) This memory is used for storing data across sessions if needed.

Definitions
These definitions apply to instruction arguments unless specified otherwise.
Negative values are represented using 2's complement.
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Value | 8-bit value. |
| Register | A general purpose register. |
Bitwise
| Name | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Bitwise NOT | The input bit is not set | NOT 0110 → 1001 |
| Bitwise AND | Both input bits are set | 1100 AND 0110 → 0100 |
| Bitwise OR | Either of the input bits are set | 1100 OR 0110 → 1110 |
| Bitwise XOR | Both input bits aren't set or unset | 1100 XOR 0110 → 1010 |
| Bitwise LSH | Bits are shifted to the left | 0110110 LSH 2 → 1011000 |
| Bitwise RSH | Bits are shifted to the right | 0110110 RSH 2 → 0001101 |
