Instruction Set

There are currently (todo: count the number of instructions) defined instructions defined in the virtual machine. It is thankfully simple to add new instructions due to how it has been designed and the current expectation is that the instruction set will change as more use-cases are tested. It is still the intention for this virtual machine to eventually be used in a 'game engine' as a scripting engine for manipulating scene-graphs.

Instructions currently implemented in the virtual machine are enumerated below by classification. Each mnemonic links to a more detailed description of the related instruction. Vector and Matrix instructions are planned for inclusion at a later date.
