SICKBAY
SICKBAY is an esoteric dialect of BASIC with two salient features:
- While most BASICs support a call stack which is used to implement
GOSUBandRETURN, SICKBAY uses a call ring buffer, which supports not onlyGOSUBandRETURNbut alsoPROLONGandCUTSHORT. - While some BASICs support computed line numbers in
GOTOandGOSUB, SICKBAY supports computed line numbers only in line number definitions. It thus lacks anIFstatement because, similar to Strelnokoff, it doesn't need one.
This is the reference distribution for SICKBAY. It contains:
- the normative description (i.e. specification) of the language -- see the
file
SICKBAY.markdownin thedocdirectory. - other notes on the language, also in the
docdirectory. - SAWBONES, Cat's Eye Technologies' reference implementation of SICKBAY,
written in Python, in the
scriptdirectory. - several small example SICKBAY programs in the
egdirectory.
For more information on the language, see the SICKBAY article on the esolangs.org wiki.
