Hello World!
There are some examples in examples folder
Instructions
The virtual machine maintains a stack for you to store things. Each cell in the stack is of size 4 bytes. A genome program starts with TTC and ends with TTC CGG and it should have the extension .atcg. Please check below to know what each instruction means.
Stack manipulation
- AAA - Duplicate the whole stack
- AAT - Duplicate top n items on the stack
- AAC - Duplicate top item on the stack
- AAG - Duplicate bottom n items on the stack
- ATA - Push number onto stack
- ATT - Pop top n items from stack
- ATC - Pop number from stack (Discarding)
- ATG - Pop bottom n items from stack
- ACA - Clear the whole stack
- ACT - Copy top nth item on the stack
- ACC - Slide n items keeping top item
- ACG - Copy bottom nth item on the stack
- AGA - Reverse the whole stack
- AGT - Reverse the top n items
- AGC - Reverse the top 2 items
- AGG - Reverse the bottom n items
Arithematic
- TAA - Addition 1+2 items and push the result
- TAT - Subtraction 2-1 items and push the result
- TAC - Multiplication 2x1 items and push the result
- TAG - Division 2/1 items and push the result
- TTA - Increment the top item by n (if nothing n=1)
- TTT - Decrement the top item by n (if nothing n=1)
Blocks and Jumps
- TTC - Start block
- TTG - Stop block
- TCA - Jump unconditionally to start of the block
- TCT - Jump on top item zero to start of the block
- TCC - Jump on nth item zero to start of the block
- TCG - Jump on bottom item zero to start of the block
- TGA - Jump unconditionally to end of the block
- TGT - Jump on top item zero to end of the block
- TGC - Jump on nth item zero to end of the block
- TGG - Jump on bottom item zero to end of the block
Printing
- CAA - Print the whole stack
- CAT - Print top n items of stack
- CAC - Print top item of the stack
- CAG - Print bottom n items of stack
- CTA - Print the whole stack (ASCII)
- CTT - Print top n items of stack (ASCII)
- CTC - Print top item of stack (ASCII)
- CTG - Print bottom n items of stack (ASCII)
Scanning
- CCA - Read input to n given by top item of stack
- CCT - Read input to top nth of the stack
- CCC - Read input to top of the stack
- CCG - Read input to bottom nth of the stack
Miscellaneous
- CGA - Move to the top of the stack
- CGT - Move down the stack by n (If nothing, n=1)
- CGC - Move up the stack by n (If nothing, n=1)
- CGG - End program
Numbers
All the above instructions which contain n are/can be followed by a number which is represented by the following
- GAA - Hex 0
- GAT - Hex 1
- GAC - Hex 2
- GAG - Hex 3
- GTA - Hex 4
- GTT - Hex 5
- GTC - Hex 6
- GTG - Hex 7
- GCA - Hex 8
- GCT - Hex 9
- GCC - Hex a
- GCG - Hex b
- GGA - Hex c
- GGT - Hex d
- GGC - Hex e
- GGG - Hex f

Example
So, If I want to push a number 15000 onto stack, I can do the following
ATA GAG GCC GCT GCA
{push 0x3a98}
