Argonaut Strategy Language (ASL) is the In-game scripting language used by Bionicle The Game and many other titles created by Argonaut. The language gets compiled into a proprietary Bytecode. It is currently not exactly known what ASL looked before compilation.

Virtual Machine

This is currently being investigated.

Opcodes

A collection of the currently known opcodes for the ASL Virtual Machine.

Instruction Structure

op |v1|v2|v3|

op |v1|v2|li|

Linker

The last 16-bit short in each logical function pointer indicates how many instructions are before the next function pointer.

This is how the linker skips over ASL instructions and translates each logical pointer into physical pointers.

Known Opcodes
