Argonaut Strategy Language
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
| Opcode | Description |
|---|---|
0x00
|
Add v3(lowest byte) to v2 and store the result in v1. |
0x01
|
Subtract v3(lowest byte) from v2 and store the result in v1. |
0x02
|
Multiply v3(lowest byte) by v2 and store the result in v1. |
0x03
|
Divide v2 by v3(lowest byte) and store the result in v1. |
0x04
|
Subtract v2 from v3(lowest byte) and store the result in v1. |
0x05
|
Divide v3(lowest byte) by v2 and store the result in v1. |
0x06
|

0x0E
|
Float divide v2 by v3 and store the result in v1. |
0x0F
|
Float subtract v2 from v3 and store the result in v1. |
0x10

0x13, 0x14
|
Shift bits of v2 right by v3 and store the result in v1. |
0x20
|
Logical OR not v2 with not v3 (NAND). If true, set v1 to 0, else set v1 to 1. |
0x23
|
