# Uxn
|
|
|
|
A stack-based VM, written in ANSI C.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cc uxn.c -std=c89 -Os -DNDEBUG -g0 -s -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -o uxn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Assembly Syntax
|
|
|
|
### Write
|
|
|
|
- `;variable`, set a label to an assigned address
|
|
- `:const`, set a label to a constant short
|
|
- `@label`, set a label to an address
|
|
|
|
### Read
|
|
|
|
- `,literal`, push label value to stack
|
|
- `.pointer`, read label value
|
|
|
|
### Special
|
|
|
|
- `( comment )`, toggle parsing on/off
|
|
- `|0010`, move to position in the program
|
|
- `"hello`, push literal bytes for word "hello"
|
|
|
|
### Operator modes
|
|
|
|
- `,1234 ,0001 ADD^`, 16-bits operators have the short flag `^`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
( hello world )
|
|
|
|
;iterator
|
|
:dev1r FFF0
|
|
:dev1w FFF1
|
|
|
|
|0100 @RESET
|
|
|
|
"hello
|
|
|
|
@loop
|
|
,dev1w STR
|
|
,incr JSU ( call incr )
|
|
,05 NEQ ,loop ROT JSC
|
|
|
|
BRK ( RESET )
|
|
|
|
@incr
|
|
,iterator LDR
|
|
,01 ADD
|
|
,iterator STR
|
|
,iterator LDR
|
|
RTS
|
|
|
|
|c000 @FRAME BRK
|
|
|d000 @ERROR BRK
|
|
|FFFA .RESET .FRAME .ERROR
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
