As much as playing this truly amazing game is fun, so is reverse engineering this game.
Every few machine code instructions you have to jump to a different code block.
It points to the address of the Forth "word" in memory which must be executed next.
stack pointer (register sp): This is a stack machine and therefore needs a stack pointer.
code address (register ip): The x86-machine code which must be executedTranslationThe disassember transpiles the FORTH code into C-style code..
