Not much is known about the machine, but it seems to be reacting to our presence.

Each letter of the alphabet is an operation, lowercase letters typically operate on bang(*), uppercase letters operate on each frame. Bangs can be generated by various operations, such as E colliding with a 0, see the bang.pico example.

Haste < Function > Input(s)
           v
        Output

• Haste port values are collected before runtime.
• Inputs are collected at runtime.
• Output is usually where the magic happens.

• A add(a, b): Outputs the sum of inputs.
• B banger(val): Bangs if input is 1, N, S, W or E.
• C clock(min, max): Outputs a constant value based on the runtime frame.
• D unknown: --
• E east: Moves eastward, or bangs.
• F if(a, b): Outputs 1 if inputs are equal, otherwise 0.
• G generator(val): Outputs a value on bang.
• H halt: Stops southward fn from operating.
• I increment(min, max): Increments southward fn.
• J jump(val): Outputs the northward fn.
• K kill: Kills southward fn.
• L loop('len): Loops a number of eastward fns.
• M modulo(val, mod): Outputs the modulo of inputs.
• N north: Moves Northward, or bangs.
• O offset('x, 'y, val): Reads a distant fn with offset.
• P push: Moves away on bang.
• Q count('len): Counts the number of fns present eastwardly.
• R random(min, max): Outputs a random value.
• S south: Moves southward, or bangs.
• T track('len, 'key, val): Outputs character at eastward position with offset.
• U unknown: --
• V beam: Bangs the nearest southward fn on bang.
• W west: Moves westward, or bangs.
• X teleport('x, 'y, val): Outputs value at offset.
• Y type(a, b): Compares the type(num/alpha/special) of inputs, and return 1 or 0.
• Z unknown: --

• . null: empty
• * bang: Bangs!
• : midi(channel, octave, note): Sends Midi
• ; udp('len): Sends a string via UDP to localhost.
• # comment: Block Comment

• arrowKey, move.
• ctrl/cmd+arrowKey, leap move.
• shift+arrowKey, resize cursor.
• escape, reset cursor.
• enter, toggle insert/write modes.

• space, toggle play/pause modes.
• </>, change BPM(speed).
• [/], resize horizontal grid.
• {/}, resize vertical grid.
• ctrl/cmd + c, copy block.
• ctrl/cmd + x, cut block.
• ctrl/cmd + v, paste block.

The midi special function is :000, it takes up to 4 inputs(channel, octave, note, velocity). For example, :25C, is a C note, on the 5th octave, through the 3rd MIDI channel, :04c, is a C# note, on the 4th octave, through the 1st MIDI channel.

Velocity is either from 0-9(10 steps), or A-Z(26 steps). For example, :34C8, is a C note, on the 4th octave, through the 4th MIDI channel with a velocity of 112/127(88%), :34CT, is a C note, on the 4th octave, through the 4th MIDI channel with a velocity of 96/127(75%).

To see it in action, see the midi.pico example.

The UDP special function is 3;MSG, it has one haste input that gets a string length and locks the eastward ports. It sends the message on bang to the port 49160. You can use the listener.js to test UDP messages.

To see it in action, see the udp.pico example.
