very slightly higher level wrapper around mlog. makes jump statements actually usable and will yell at you incomprehensibly if you make a mistake (partial syntax checking)
download the code from the latest release or compile it yourself (directions below), then run it in your terminal of choice (it's a command line program)
- install cargo if you haven't already (guide)
- run
cargo build --releasein the source code directory - the built executable will be located in
target/release/, you can do whatever with it at this point
- as with some flavors of BASIC, you create labels with the syntax
labelName:(where label name can be any label name) - instead of taking addresses to jump to, the
jumpinstruction now takes labels, and will jump to them accordingly - the instruction
goto <labelName>is an alias tojump <labelName> always, if you want to type slightly less - basic subroutine support, uses variables to store the instruction pointer locations since we don't have a stack. downsides are recursion doesn't work. it's possible to create a stack, but it would be slow so i didn't
- you can create subroutines with
routine <routineName>:, return from a subroutine withreturn, and end a subroutine withendroutine - subroutines are called with
gosub <routineName>or you can usegosubcfor a conditional gosub, syntax is the same asjump
