ASCIIDots

This project is a Node.JS interpreter for the esolang ASCIIDots, created by Aaron Janse

Current Syntax

Currently import scripts don't seem to work properly when they involve operations that store and recall dots for later. Any advice would be appreciated.

CharacterDescription
-Allows the dot to move horizontally
|Allows the dot to move vertically
+Acts as crossroads; dots can pass through this horizontally or vertically
~Takes a dot input from the bottom and left; if the bottom's value is 0, then the left one continues on to the right. If the bottom's value is not, then the dot coming from the left starts moving upward
:If a dot passes this and has a value equal to 0, it is deleted
;If a dot passes this and has a value equal to 1, it is deleted
!If underneath a ~, reverse it so that 0 makes the dot move up and any other number makes it continue on right
$Prints a value to the console
#Sets the value of the dot, can also be used to get the value of the dot in a print command
@Sets the address of the dot, can also be used to get the address of the dot in a print command
_Marks that the console will not print a newline after its message
aMarks that the console will print the ASCII character equivalent of a number
?Asks for user input; may only be used after a # or @
^Changes the dot's direction to up
>Changes the dot's direction to right
<Changes the dot's direction to left
vChanges the dot's direction to down
*A dot that hits this character will have itself duplicated, with the duplicates travelling in every possible (connected) direction
\A "mirror" that changes the dot's direction
/Another "mirror" that changes the dot's direction
()Anything inside these parentheses will loop forever
[]Operation inside will be evaluated; a vertical-moving dot will be eval'd against a horizontal dot. The horizontal dot will be deleted and the vertical will continue
{}Operates similar to [], but a horizontal dot is eval'd against a vertical dot and the horizontal dot is outputed
&Ends the program
"" or ''Marks a string that the value or print command can use
%!Imports a file as a character. Do not specificy the directory if you want to use a built in library. Usage: %!file.dots f
%^Used when creating your own library. The character following it will be the entry and exit point for the library
%$Used to denote warps. You can put multiple letters next to eachother to denote multiple warps. You can only use a warp twice in the code

If there is any functionality missing (Works on the official website and doesn't work here) then please leave an issue on github with the code that should work! Thanks :)
