ANTE

Ante is an esoteric programming language where all you've got is a deck of
playing cards.

FOUR REGISTERS, ZERO INITIALIZED

♦ ♥ ♠ ♣

OPERATORS, SEQUENTIAL PRECEDENCE

♦  # Add
♥  # Multiply
♠  # Subtract
♣  # Divide

SYNTAX

2-9[x]...     # Assignment; the suit of first card designates
              # target register
A[x]          # Current value of register [x] (the Ace aces it)
K[x]          # Jump to the last Q[x] label if A[x] != 0 (go see the Queen)
Q[x]          # Label (the Queen is waiting)
J[x]          # Print A[x] as character (Jack shows the goods)

10[x] # Print A[x] as number

Kings and Queens can have twins, triplets, etc. of the same suit. While
single K♥ goes to Q♥, K♥K♥ twins will go to Q♥Q♥ and so on.

EXAMPLE

# 15.times { |i| print i }
3♥ 5♥         # ♥ = 3 * 5
Q♥            # Label
10♦           # Print current value of ♦
A♦ 3♦ 2♠      # ♦ = ♦ + 3 - 2
A♥ 3♠ 2♦      # ♥ = ♥ - 3 + 2
K♥            # Jump to Q♥ if ♥ != 0
