## README

swark - a small, powerful language that compiles to DCPU-16 assembly.

Inspired by go, coffee-script, and python.

To set up dependencies:

    sudo npm link

To build:

    cake build

To run the tests:

    ./bin/test

To run a swark program:

    ./bin/swark program.swark

To run a dcpu16 program with our non-standard extensions:

    ./bin/swark -a program.dasm

Non-standard dcpu16 emulator extentions:

    Read/write characters from memory address 0x8fff to access stdout/stdin.

    Write the return code to memory address 0x8ffe to stop the program.

Technical info that should find a home in a different document someday:

    Calling convention is to push each argument in order and then jump with jsr
    which will push the return address as the final item on the stack.
    All registers may be mangled by callees, so callers should save any
    important data to the stack before calling subroutines. The first parameter
    is always a pointer to the enclosing scope's stack frame.
