You've built your PAL-1 and as you show it to your admiring friends and family their first question invariably is "so, what does it do?"

It turns out that Larry Kheriaty had the answer to this question for 6800 and 8080 systems back in 1978 in the form of WADUZITDO, "a language in 256 words or less". 

And now there is a PAL-1 / KIM-1 version too:


There are two versions in the repository, one that (like the original) fits in 256 bytes of memory and an 'extended' version which supports longer user programs (such as the NIM game from  Kheriaty's BYTE article). WADUZITDO is unlikely to set the world alight, but it's fun to see what can be done with very little memory.

Enjoy!
:D
