In that case, you run into a lot of questions of language design. For instance, do you have


 * In:
 * Out:
 * Out:

or


 * In:
 * Out:
 * Out:

? Trick question: that output is more than 99 characters long.

Many assembly languages are pretty much designed these days to be nice to be compiled to, rather than being designed to be nice to code in, particularly for beginners. SmileBasic V2 is very much the opposite. It would take someone very hardcore to take on this kind of project.

It's a nice idea, I've toyed with it myself, but the design of the language is just not amicable to being a platform for generated code: even that one small feature of V3, no arbitrary upper limit on the number of characters that can be put on a single line of code, makes a huge difference, as shown by the example.
