gollark: Although in the actual planned assembly language it would be more like `(mov re ffc0)` and get automagically compiled to the right thing.
gollark: `MOVI E0 FF C0`, for example, sets `re` (register 14) to `ffc0`.
gollark: I have added a thing which sets registers to a constant.
gollark: The "use case" is a random fun feature in potatOS.
gollark: ```lualocal function init(code) -- preallocate 64KiB of memory -- 64KiB is enough for anyone -- (TODO: allow moar somehow?) local memory = fill_arr(65536, 0) -- load code into memory, at start for i = 1, #code do memory[i] = code:byte(i) end return { memory = memory, registers = fill_arr(17, 0) }end```
