==Stack Memory==

==Stack Memory==

;pop r?: loads the value in the stack memory at index <code>sp-1</code> into register '''r?''' and decrements the '''sp''' by 1.

;pop r?: loads the value in the stack memory at index <code>sp-1</code> into register '''r?''' and decrements the '''sp''' by 1.

;peek r?: loads the value in the stack memory at index <code>sp-1</code> into register '''r?'''.

Traversing the stack can be done similarly to how an array would be traversed in some other languages:

Traversing the stack can be done similarly to how an array would be traversed in some other languages:

#this will traverse indices {min value} through {max value}-1

#this will traverse indices {min value} through {max value}-1

move sp {min value}

move sp {min value}

Alternatively, you can use the pop function's decrementing to make a more efficient loop:

The '''l''' (load) or '''s''' (set) instructions you have to read or set these values to your device. Examples:

# device on port 'd1' into the variable 'Setting'.

==Labels==

==Labels==

Labels are used to make it easier to jump between lines in the script. The label will have a numerical value that is the same as its line number. Even though it's possible to use a labels value for calculations, doing so is a bad idea since any changes to the code can change the line numbers of the labels.

main: # define a jump mark with label 'main'

main: # define a jump mark with label 'main'

j main # jumps back to 'main'

==Constants==

==Constants==

Instead of using a register to store a fixed value, a constant can be made. Using this name will refer to the assigned value. With the help of Constants you can save register places.

==Indirect referencing==

==Indirect referencing==

This is a way of accessing a register by using another register as a pointer. Adding an additional r in front of the register turns on this behaviour. The value stored in the register being used as the pointer must be between 0 to 15, this will then point to a register from r0 to r15, higher or lower values will cause an error.

Additional r's can be added to do indirect referencing multiple times in a row.

The 8 channels (Channel0 to Channel7) are however volatile, in that data is destroyed if any part of the cable network is changed, removed, or added to, and also whenever the world is exited. All these channels default to NaN. Strictly speaking, they default to what we would call "quiet NaN", in that its not an error it simply means its not a number yet. Recommend you use these channels for reading and writing between networks, rather than as a data store. This effectively means an IC can read all the networks for all devices to connected to it, so not just their own local network, but any networks any device they can reference is connected to.

Comments can be placed using a '''#''' symbol. All comments are ignored by the game when it reads commands. Below is an example of valid code with two comments.

To determine this, a script without <code>yield</code> will be used. It should have as few lines as possible (so no labels are used, but a reset value at the top will be needed) and count the number of lines, the IC Housing will be used to display the result.
