hmmm... it looks like a good idea btw but u just gott gotta add more stuff --Mrtli08 (talk) 18:21, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

i disagree, i think that it should have less stuff --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 18:49, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
Funny thing is that the I/O facilities are superfluous since this thing is already a register machine with infinite registers, and you only need two registers and the instructions {INC, JZDEC} (increment, jump if zero else decrement} to be TC. Function key + Page Down is for convenience since decrementing until zero is a pain. So all you really need are two registers, Page Up, Page Down -> [N], Control + Page Up, Control + Page Down, State [N], and E. ❰❰ raiseafloppafan7741kausapin mo ako】【old contribs投稿】【▼(°v°)▼】【Fight for what HTML deserves.】❱❱ 15:13, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Control + Page down and Control + Page Up do the same thing

perhaps, one of them was meant do something else? --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 18:49, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

also, this is turing complete even if we use bounded registers --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 18:49, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
Aha sorry, Control + Page Down was meant to go to the next register. Also interesting, I guess it's because despite the bounded register size, there are still infinite registers to use. That kinda makes sense. ❰❰ raiseafloppafan7741kausapin mo ako】【old contribs投稿】【▼(°v°)▼】【Fight for what HTML deserves.】❱❱ 18:52, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
its really just brainfuck but cells are unbounded --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 19:55, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
