This is a BIOS for the R16K1S60 CPU by lbphacker. This is just an idea, and is probably not the best it could be (e.g. it runs slowly, I'm still a noob). Feel free to improve upon the concept w/ credit. Specification/source: http://pastebin.com/JR5jTHra

    @Cool4Cool yeh I knew that. I meant I don't know how to use it with my dumb kode. Anyways, I've stopped working on it.. Maybe mark2222's upcoming GPU will help

    1. Copy the function into your code. 2. Add mov bx, 0 to the place where your code starts running. BX is needed to count lines, so if you use it for other purposes, change to a different register. 3. To print a new line, use call _printNl. There you go!

    I have a function to print a newline in the source code of this bios save. Link in description. This might be useful for your code.

    welp, it turns out i got bored and have started working on this falling sand game. All I've managed so far is to print from an array that stores color values, but it prints 25 pixels side by side instead of a 5x5 square :{

    @cool4cool yeh i knew the computer could support it beforehand, but it's pretty cool how the interpreter/compiler understands it. Also, I ain't building it >: I don't have enough experience. Just putting the idea of a falling sand game out there...

    Good luck QuanTech :-) Also, any computer supports arrays. Arrays are simply sequences of bytes in memory with a known location and length, like strings.

    AWESOME! this computer and rasm/rasmui.lua support arrays! i think a crappy falling sand game is possible in this!
