Upgrade to Rust 1.0.0! #11

Current version of Rust has many changes from when this was written. Now that the API has largely stabilized, it would be helpful to use it.

tinyplasticgreyknight commented 9 years ago

Yes; I haven't time to do it right now though. Luckily there are maybe three people in the world who have any interest in BANCStar whatsoever, never mind actually using it. ;-)

@tinyplasticgreyknight Just for kicks, what version of Rust would this compile with? I found your repo from Esolangs, wanted to mess around with BANCStar a little this weekend.

tinyplasticgreyknight commented 9 years ago

Oof, I don't even know. It was around the rustc-0.1 era, I think?

Some notes if you're planning to play around:

This tool only deals with an assembly syntax, not execution.
In fact, I don't think there are any available interpreters currently out there, unless @jloughry has managed to dig something up.
If you glance through https://github.com/tinyplasticgreyknight/BANCNova/blob/master/doc/assembly.md, you'll notice a whole lot of "not very well understood" and "a mystery" comments. The language is still a subject of archaeological research!
This assembly tool itself has quite a few bugs and missing features, so I don't know how useful it will be yet.

Newly available interpreter (partially complete) https://github.com/SwissKid/bancstar-python Because of a CTF at LayerOne security conference.

tinyplasticgreyknight commented 9 years ago

Interesting! Did somebody dig up a specification? Do you have a link?

SwissKid commented 9 years ago

Grabbed the spec from esolang. Its not following all the specs yet.

Ah; if you check the revision history on that article, you might notice a familiar username. ;-)

What exactly was happening at the conference you mention? Did the topic of BANCStar come up?

SwissKid commented 9 years ago

You can see the SCN and PFL files I was given, that was the total of the challenge.... they wouldn't even tell me it was bancstar!
