gollark: BEE.
gollark: It should have a pointer to the 1th element, the eth element, the e²th element, and so on.
gollark: Interesting features:- all numbers are hexadecimal always- it has no support for immediate parameters which aren't addresses or something- there are no registers and exactly 256 bytes of memory, one of which is the program counter- conditional moves are the only conditional thing
gollark: ```x86asm!PAD E0LOOP:re 8 RIadd RJ RI !1mez RJ I !0re 8 RJidm RI RJmov I !LOOPRI: ! 0RJ: ! 0```Here is some example code.
