gollark: Using hypothetical assembly syntax I haven't actually implemented:```# start of memory to add kittens to(add r1 r0 0x1000) # maybe there would be nice dedicated syntax for "set register" actually# end of kittenized region(add r2 r0 0x1600)(label loop (add r3 r0 40) (poke r3 r1 0) (add r3 r0 94) (poke r3 r1 1) # and so on (add r1 r1 8) (jlt r1 r2 loop))```
gollark: To create RAM kittens, all you need to do is `ADD` the ASCII value of each character into a temporary register, `POKE` them into the right memory location (using the per-instruction `POKE` offset, probably), and then do that in a loop.
gollark: I should probably implement arithmetic instructions then a basic assembler, I guess, because hand-writing machine code is unpleasant.
gollark: What? No. This doesn't really need jumps, except possibly to run it repeatedly.
gollark: Well, it would just be a bunch of POKEs at consecutive memory addresses.
