Dream Island is an esolang inspired by Shakespeare and the webseries, BFDI.
Syntax
The program begins with the episode name and number. This is all decorative. Every section begins as a scene, labelled using Arabic numerals. Then, characters can alter each others' values based on their speech. A value can be assigned to a character by comparing them to an Algebralien. For example, Coiny: Firey's as useful as Zero! is a valid Dream Island line. A program ends with "Announcer, let me buy Dream Island!" being spoken by Leafy.
