A very silly esolang :3

Syntax

All instructions are made up of two separate tokens, with a w in between, with each token meant to represent an eye in an OwO-like face. The first eye is an action, and the second is a motion, which defines what the action will apply to, similar to Vim commands. Strings are entered through a separate string mode, in which the next tokens are interpreted as a character and a motion.

Data

All data is stored in an infinite memory strip of 8-bit unsigned integers, just like with brainfuck. A pointer keeps track of what cell you are currently selecting. Some motions may act on cells outside of the currently selected one.

Strings

Strings are created by entering String Mode. String Mode starts with a timer that determines how long until String Mode ends. It counts down every time an instruction is read, and is initially set to the value referenced by the Motion when String Mode starts. While in String Mode all Action tokens are taken as a character to add to the string, and are added to the string the same number of times as the number in the cell referenced by the Motion. There is only ever one string, and it gets reset when string mode starts.

Control Flow

Control flow is done through the T and Q tokens, which act as if x==0 and if x!=0 respectively. They do not move the current instruction to an end statement if they fail, however, and instead just move it one instruction ahead. A = of ~ token can then be used to make it jump to a different part of the program, which also allows the creation of loops.

Tokens

Actions

Token	Effect
O	Select cell
^	Increment cell
-	Decrement cell
U	Start string mode
V	Print out The String the number of times in the referenced cell
T	Goes to the next instruction if the referenced cell is 0, else it skips one. Basically if x == 0
Q	Goes to the next instruction if the referenced cell is NOT 0, else it skips one. Basically if x != 0
=	Jumps forward the number of instructions in the referenced cell
~	Jumps backward the number of instructions in the referenced cell

Motions

Token	Effect
U	Apply action to currently selected cell
O	Apply action to next cell
Q	Apply action to previous cell
p	Apply action to a cell x spaces before the current cell
e	Apply action to a cell x spaces after the current cell
T	Apply action to the cell with the index held in the current cell
