Yabal

Yabal is a high level language which provides a simpler programming interface for the Astro-8 while still being optimized and as capable as Armstrong. @GerardSmit is the sole developer and owner of Yabal.

In order to use Yabal with the Astro8 emulator, follow these steps:

1. Move the Yabal compiler (yabal.exe) to the directory of your code, or add it to your system PATH environment variable.
2. Compile your Yabal program. Use the command yabal.exe build ./yourcode.yabal. This will create a file called yourcode.asm in the same directory. (Notice how the new file removed the .yabal ending, and replaced it with .asm)
3. You can now run this assembly code using the Astro8 emulator like this: astro8 ./yourcode.asm
4. As a single line, you can run: yabal.exe build ./yourcode.yabal; astro8 ./yourcode.asm.
