i will see if i can find a fitting sound :) (now on my todo list)

okay! also im very sorry for giving you so much work XD

It's really nice to get feedback and inspiration from other people so keep it up

okay ill think of more stuff to make you do XD

can you add sometihg like floppy disks where you can save programs on to it and load it on another computer?

Yesterday I have planned a system but I have to see if it works

i have more sugestions.1 can you add the ablity to store text.2 can you make a print command to print stuff to the console and 3 can you make programs able to receve arguments. for example for the first sugestion to store text you write:

store text $1 "hello"

to store numbers you would write:

store $1 1
or
store $1 ACC
to store from the accumulator

to print stuff to console you write :

print "hello"
to print text,

print 1
to print a number,

print $1
to print a memory address or

print ACC
to print the accumulator

for the arguments if i write in the console "test Hello" and in the test program there was:

store text $1 ARG

then $1 would have Hello in it

you could also do
print ARG
to print the arguments.

sorry for my long comment but i hope you like my suggestions

very nice ideas! i have tested a prototype for a high lvl language where you were able to give arguments to the program. how would you suggest to call a program with arguments (in this language)? btw im thinking about adding more registeres and changing commands so that you can define more stuff so its easier to program stuff

if by call you mean to run it the you type the name then space then each argument followed by a space

example

Calculator 10 X 5
>50

Calculator 10 X 5
[program ] [1][2][3]

in the program

store text $1 ARG
would get 10

store text $1 ARG[0]
would get "10"

store text $1 ARG[1]
would get "X"

store text $1 ARG[0]
would get "5"

also store $1 ARG[0]
would get 10 as a number

store $1 ARG[1]
since X is not a number it would get either NaN or 0

ok ill try to design a good way to implement it :) (most likely will tend to 0 when you want to convert a string that is not a number to a number)

also when is the next update to the mod?

today i released a quick fix and than ill work on the next update wich will most likely include io blocks and probably storage blocks. i hope that i can finish the update thursday or friday :)

another sugestion here. can you add if statmens and for loops?
example:

store $1 0

if $1 == 0
store $1 1
print $1
end

print "end"

would print
>1
>end


to use for loops:

for $1 = 1; $1 <= 5;add 1
print $1
end

print "end"

would print

>1
>2
>3
>4
>5
>end

I think that it fits more with the higher level language :)
