I added Balanced Septemvigesimal (Base 27) and Balanced Nonary support to arguments in SBTCVM's assembly language.

Context:

  • SBTCVM is a Balanced ternary virtual machine. aka it uses +1, 0, and -1, unlike binary.
  • Balanced Septemvigesimal & Balanced Nonary serve nearly the same purpose as Octal & Hexadecimal Do for binary.

What i learned: Working with custom notations of obscure non-standard base numbers, is even harder when there's 27 different digits involved...

got it working though, so id call that a win...
