Each value points to a different instruction. The language is stack based and has a rather reduced instruction set. =head1 DESCRIPTION Beatnik is an esoteric programming language based on scrabble word values in the code. Each word value is linked to a certain instruction. The number of instructions is limited since there are only a certain number of values possible in Scrabble. Beatnik is a stack based programming language. =head1 INSTRUCTION TABLE Beatnik has the following word values linked to the instructions. 5 Push the next word value onto stack 6 Pop the first value from stack 7 Add the two topmost values from stack and push the result on stack 8 Read a character from input and push the ASCII value on stack 9 Read the first value from stack and print the character value 10 Subtract the two topmost values from stack and push the result back on stack 11 Swap the two topmost values from stack 12 Duplicate the first value from stack and push it onto stack 13 Move the Instruction Pointer X values forward if the first value on stack is zero (X being the next word value) 14 Move the Instruction Pointer X values forward if the first value on stack is not zero (X being the next word value) 15 Move the Instruction Pointer X values backward if the first value on stack is zero (X being the next word value) 16 Move the Instruction Pointer X values backward if the first value on stack is not zero (X being the next word value) 17 Halt the program =head1 ENGLISH TILESET Since Scrabble has different letter values for different countries, there is a problem. Acme::Beatnik uses the English based tileset. Future versions might include the possibility to have other tilesets as well. A=1 B=3 C=3 D=2 E=1 F=4 G=2 H=4 I=1 J=8 K=5 L=1 M=3 N=1 O=1 P=3 Q=10 R=1 S=1 T=1 U=1 V=4 W=4 X=8 Y=4 Z=10 =head1 EXAMPLE use Acme::Beatnik Foo Bar Baz Foo has word value 6, Bar has word value 5, Baz has word value 14. This does the following.. Pop the first value from stack Push 14 on stack =head1 AUTHOR Hendrik Van Belleghem, Ehendrik@ldl48.orgE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2003 by Hendrik Van Belleghem This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut
