== Summary ==

{{#evt:service=youtube|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lXK6_bktUk|alignment=center}}

YOLOL is a programming language used to control and manage electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]]. 
The code is written on lines in [[YOLOL Chip|YOLOL chips]] which are then inserted into [[Chip socket|chip sockets]], that read and relay their messages. 
The programming language enables the programming and controlling of almost any device within the known universe.

== Basic information ==

=== How it works ===
The code is written to and executed from programmable chips, and can be used to both monitor and control electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]] connected to a [[Data networks|data network]]. 
Lines of code are executed in sequence from top to bottom, repeating the cycle of the chip after the last line has been executed, unless the script includes programmed instructions for specific line changes or stopping the execution completely.

To put it simply:

# Code execution starts from line 1
# After reading line 1, it proceeds to the next line based on the chip's time interval
# The process is then repeated for the lines 2, 3, 4... etc.
# The chip will begin executing line 1 again after the last line has been executed (unless the last line contains a goto statement or execution has been paused)

So blank lines still use 0.2 seconds and can be used as a brief execution delay. (lines with only a comment are effectively the same as a blank line.)

=== Limitations ===

* Lines take 0.2 seconds to execute.
* A line can contain a maximum of 70 characters (comments and spaces included).*
* Some functions only work on specific YOLOL chips.

*Note that because of this some examples shown below might not work in-game.

== Command references ==

=== Case insensitive ===

The programming language is fully case '''insensitive'''. 
This means that the following two example scripts function identically to each other:

if '''ButtonState''' == 1 then '''DoorState''' = 1 end

IF '''buttonstate''' == 1 THEN '''doorstate''' = 1 END
* Both scripts set the '''doorstate''' into 1, if '''buttonstate''' value is 1.
* The characters in the programming language can be written in either lowercase or uppercase letters.
** They are still parsed as case insensitive.
** This way it's possible to have the code look a bit more organized.

=== Variables ===

* The variables in the programming language are weakly typed (don't enforce type validity), and support two data types: '''Fixed-point decimals''' (up to 0.001 precision) and '''Strings''' (up to 1024 characters long within a chip or 127 while in a device field).
** To put it simply, the variables can either be introduced as strings or numbers, ignoring the earlier variable type if the previous type is not identical, without causing an error.
* Each variable is always of a single type, though it will be implicitly converted when required.
* The default value of an uninitialized variable is 0, and null values are not supported.
* True/False are numerical values of non-0 and 0.
** True != 0
** False == 0

Assigning a value to a variable always converts the variable to the newly assigned value's type.

'''Example:'''

ultimateAutopilot= 128.643
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' containing a numeric value of 128.643

ultimateAutopilot= "Error prone"
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' to be a string variable "''Error prone''", and numeric value of 128.643 is removed.

==== Decimals ====

Numeric values in the programming language are 64-bit fixed-point decimals. 
The variables hold decimal numbers up to three decimal accuracy. 
As a result, the maximum value range (even during operations) is [-9223372036854775.808, 9223372036854775.807]

pieVariable= 3.142
* The above script assigns a numeric value of 3.142 to the variable '''pieVariable'''.
** Supplying more precise values than the variables can store works, but doesn't affect the end result.

notPieVariable= 0.5772156649
* The above script attempts to assign a numeric value of 0.5772156649 to the variable '''notPieVariable'''.
* The end result however is notPieVariable == 0.577
** Here, the more precise values are cut, leaving only three decimals behind.

==== Strings ====

To specify a string literal in the programming language, the desired string value must be surrounded with double quotation marks.
Strings can hold up to 1024 characters within a YOLOL chip or 127 characters in a device field.

badRobots= "saltberia"
* This script assigns the string value of "''saltberia''" to the variable '''badRobots'''.

==== Device fields / External variables ====

External variables and device fields can be used in the programming language with the following syntax: 
* ''':variableName'''
**'''variableName''' being the configured device field id.
A colon prefix ''':''' is used to tell the script that an external variable is being accessed, instead of using one that may or may not be declared or used in the script. 
A programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]] that is connected to a [[Devices and machines|device]] has access to all the devices in the same [[Data networks|network]]. 
It can then modify and listen to any device fields it has access to. 

if ''':ButtonState''' == 1 then ''':DoorState''' = 1 end
* The script above will send the value of 1 to any devices listening to the device field '''DoorState''' if the value of '''ButtonState''' is 1 in the data network.

==== Naming Limitations ====
Currently variables containing keywords such as '''if''' or '''end''' can be parsed incorrectly, and must be avoided.

==== Memory Chips and Relays ====

[[YOLOL memory chip|Memory Chips]] provide 10 device fields that aren't tied to the function of devices and can be used to share variables and their values between multiple [[YOLOL_Chip|YOLOL Chips]]. 
In a [[Memory_relay|Memory Relay]] they can also be used to copy data from one device field to another, which allows
* separation of networks e.g. for keeping the data networks less noisy and smaller
* a combination of shortened variable names in yolol and long variable names in displays e.g. for cockpit interfaces

== Operators and commands ==

Note that the available operators may be limited by the type of the programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]]. 
Basic chips have a limited selection of functions while more advanced ones can perform more complex operations natively.

=== Basic arithmetic and assignment operators ===

|}

=== Logical operators ===

Logical operators are checks that identify if the statement is true or false. 
All logical operations return either '''"0 for False"''' or '''"1 for True"'''.
The '''NOT''', '''AND''', and '''OR''' keywords consider 0 to be falsy and anything not 0 to be truthy.

{| class="wikitable"

! Operation || Numeric operation || String operation || Chip availability
|-
| A B || Greater than || returns 0 if String A is first in alphabetical order, returns 1 if not. || All
|-
| A <= B ||Less than or equal to || returns 1 if String A is first in alphabetical order or identical to String B, returns 0 if not. || All
|-

| A AND B || And || Returns 1 if neither A nor B are 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|-
| A OR B || Or || Returns 1 if either A or B is not 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|}

=== Mixing variable types in operations ===

Mixing variable types in an operation handles the operation using all parameters as ''strings''.

previouslyNumber= "10" + 15
* The above script results in '''previouslyNumber''' containing the string value "1015".
** Note that the involved parameters themselves don't change types, their values are just cast as strings for the purpose of the operation:

purelyNumber = 15
purelyString = "10" + purelyNumber
* When this script has executed, '''purelyString''' contains the string value of "1015", while '''purelyNumber''' still contains the numeric value of 15.

=== Goto ===

Goto syntax is used when the normal script reading order from 1->20 is not desired, or needs to be altered.

Goto is used with the following syntax:
*'''goto lineNumber'''
** lineNumber is the line which this command will take the script execution. 
** Any remaining script that is on the same line after the goto-command will not be executed.
*** using if statements before goto ignores goto syntax, assuming the if-statement is false
** Multiple goto commands can be added on the same line using conditionals, as '''False''' goto commands are skipped.
** Numeric values outside the [1,20] range are clamped to this range.
** Non-integer values are floored.
** String values will result in a Runtime Error.

if variable == 5 then '''goto 4''' end '''goto 6'''

The script above will go to line number 4, if '''variable''' has a value of 5. 
Otherwise it will go to line number 6. Numerical operations can also be done "inside" the goto, e.g.

goto 4+1

=== If-else conditional ===

If-else statements are used to branch out the script into different paths. 
They use the following syntax:
* '''if ''condition'' then ''statement'' else ''statement'' end'''
** Condition is a statement that results in a numeric value (where 0 is parsed as False, anything else as True), and statements are pieces of script that are run.
** All If-else conditional stations must have '''end''' syntax written after statement is complete.
** The statement has to be on one line. The if, then, else and end cannot be on different lines.

If can be used to branch script execution into two possible outcomes temporarily based on variable value(s). 
'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''else''' endResult = 4 '''end'''

* This script sets the value of '''endResult''' to 3 if '''variable''' does not have the value of 2.
* If '''variable''''s value is 2, '''endResult''' is set to the value of 4.

Note that the else statement -part can be left out if not needed. 

'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''end'''
*This script only sets the value of 3 to '''endResult''' if '''variable''' does not have a value of 2, and doesn't do anything else.

==== Nesting if statements ====

It is possible to place if-conditionals inside the true/false statement blocks to achieve further branching of execution. 
Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' endResult = 1 '''else''' '''if''' variable == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 1 if '''variable''' equals 0.
* If '''variable''' doesn't equal 0, but it equals 1, '''endResult''' is set to 2.

Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' '''if''' endResult == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''else''' endResult = 1 '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 2 if '''variable''' has a value of 0 and '''endResult''' equals to 1.
* If '''variable''' has a value of something other than 0, this script sets '''endResult''' to 1
* Otherwise '''endResult''' does not change, e.g. when '''variable''' is 0, but '''endResult''' does not equal 1

==== Combining conditions ====

It is possible to calculate conditions inside to further manipulate the branching of execution. 
Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 AND endResult != 2 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''else''' endResult = 1 '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 2 if '''variable''' equals 0, but only if '''endResult''' is not already 2.
* In any other case it sets '''endResult''' to 1.

=== Comments ===

Comments are useful when writing code that is used by a lot of programmers. 
Note that comments also use up space from the pre-determined 70 character line limit and are not excluded from it. 

Commenting is used with the following syntax:
*// '''text'''
** Text can be any single-line set of characters.

'''//''' This is a comment. It will explain how other lines of script work.
* An example of a possible comment syntax

== Order of Operations ==

Operations are conducted in the following order, when operators have the same precedence, left to right. 
To change order of operations, use ( ): e.g. 3*2+1=6+1=7 is the same as (3*2)+1=6+1=7 but is different from 3*(2+1)=3*3=9.
Where a line has multiple statements, they are executed left to right.

== Errors ==

There are two types of errors that can happen with the programming language.
# Syntax errors
# Runtime errors

* Syntax errors come from invalid and unparseable script and will result in the whole line not being executed.
* Runtime errors are only catchable while the script is being executed. They result in the execution of the line being interrupted, but any effects until the error will remain.

== Known Bugs/Unintended Behavior ==
This is a list of known problems regarding yolol: 

* variablenames including keywords like "if" in them will parse with the keyword in mind, resulting in a syntax error. Example: :life would be parsed as :l if e

YOLOL is a programming language used to control and manage electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]]. 
The code is written on lines in [[YOLOL Chip|YOLOL chips]] which are then inserted into [[Chip socket|chip sockets]], that read and relay their messages.

Lines of code are executed in sequence from top to bottom, repeating the cycle of the chip after the last line has been executed, unless the script includes programmed instructions for specific line changes or stopping the execution completely.

To put it simply:

# Code execution starts from line 1
# After reading line 1, it proceeds to the next line based on the chip's time interval
# The process is then repeated for the lines 2, 3, 4... etc.
# The chip will begin executing line 1 again after the last line has been executed (unless the last line contains a goto statement or execution has been paused)

So blank lines still use 0.2 seconds and can be used as a brief execution delay. (lines with only a comment are effectively the same as a blank line.)

=== Limitations ===

* Lines take 0.2 seconds to execute.
* A line can contain a maximum of 70 characters (comments and spaces included).*
* Some functions only work on specific YOLOL chips.

*Note that because of this some examples shown below might not work in-game.

== Command references ==

=== Case insensitive ===

The programming language is fully case '''insensitive'''. 
This means that the following two example scripts function identically to each other:

if '''ButtonState''' == 1 then '''DoorState''' = 1 end

IF '''buttonstate''' == 1 THEN '''doorstate''' = 1 END
* Both scripts set the '''doorstate''' into 1, if '''buttonstate''' value is 1.
* The characters in the programming language can be written in either lowercase or uppercase letters.
** They are still parsed as case insensitive.
** This way it's possible to have the code look a bit more organized.

=== Variables ===

* The variables in the programming language are weakly typed (don't enforce type validity), and support two data types: '''Fixed-point decimals''' (up to 0.001 precision) and '''Strings''' (up to 1024 characters long within a chip or 127 while in a device field).
** To put it simply, the variables can either be introduced as strings or numbers, ignoring the earlier variable type if the previous type is not identical, without causing an error.
* Each variable is always of a single type, though it will be implicitly converted when required.
* The default value of an uninitialized variable is 0, and null values are not supported.
* True/False are numerical values of non-0 and 0.
** True != 0
** False == 0

Assigning a value to a variable always converts the variable to the newly assigned value's type.

'''Example:'''

ultimateAutopilot= 128.643
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' containing a numeric value of 128.643

ultimateAutopilot= "Error prone"
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' to be a string variable "''Error prone''", and numeric value of 128.643 is removed.

==== Decimals ====

Numeric values in the programming language are 64-bit fixed-point decimals. 
The variables hold decimal numbers up to three decimal accuracy. 
As a result, the maximum value range (even during operations) is [-9223372036854775.808, 9223372036854775.807]

pieVariable= 3.142
* The above script assigns a numeric value of 3.142 to the variable '''pieVariable'''.
** Supplying more precise values than the variables can store works, but doesn't affect the end result.

notPieVariable= 0.5772156649
* The above script attempts to assign a numeric value of 0.5772156649 to the variable '''notPieVariable'''.
* The end result however is notPieVariable == 0.577
** Here, the more precise values are cut, leaving only three decimals behind.

==== Strings ====

To specify a string literal in the programming language, the desired string value must be surrounded with double quotation marks.
Strings can hold up to 127 characters.

badRobots= "saltberia"
* This script assigns the string value of "''saltberia''" to the variable '''badRobots'''.

==== Device fields / External variables ====

External variables and device fields can be used in the programming language with the following syntax: 
* ''':variableName'''
**'''variableName''' being the configured device field id.
A colon prefix ''':''' is used to tell the script that an external variable is being accessed, instead of using one that may or may not be declared or used in the script. 
A programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]] that is connected to a [[Devices and machines|device]] has access to all the devices in the same [[Data networks|network]]. 
It can then modify and listen to any device fields it has access to. 

if ''':ButtonState''' == 1 then ''':DoorState''' = 1 end
* The script above will send the value of 1 to any devices listening to the device field '''DoorState''' if the value of '''ButtonState''' is 1 in the data network.

==== Naming Limitations ====
Currently variables containing keywords such as '''if''' or '''end''' can be parsed incorrectly, and must be avoided.

==== Memory Chips and Relays ====

[[YOLOL memory chip|Memory Chips]] provide 10 device fields that aren't tied to the function of devices and can be used to share variables and their values between multiple [[YOLOL_Chip|YOLOL Chips]]. 
In a [[Memory_relay|Memory Relay]] they can also be used to copy data from one device field to another, which allows
* separation of networks e.g. for keeping the data networks less noisy and smaller
* a combination of shortened variable names in yolol and long variable names in displays e.g. for cockpit interfaces

=== Mixing variable types in operations ===

Mixing variable types in an operation handles the operation using all parameters as ''strings''.

previouslyNumber= "10" + 15
* The above script results in '''previouslyNumber''' containing the string value "1015".
** Note that the involved parameters themselves don't change types, their values are just cast as strings for the purpose of the operation:

Goto is used with the following syntax:
*'''goto lineNumber'''
** lineNumber is the line which this command will take the script execution.

*** using if statements before goto ignores goto syntax, assuming the if-statement is false
** Multiple goto commands can be added on the same line using conditionals, as '''False''' goto commands are skipped.
** Numeric values outside the [1,20] range are clamped to this range.
** Non-integer values are floored.
** String values will result in a Runtime Error.

if variable == 5 then '''goto 4''' end '''goto 6'''

The script above will go to line number 4, if '''variable''' has a value of 5. 
Otherwise it will go to line number 6. Numerical operations can also be done "inside" the goto, e.g.

goto 4+1

=== If-else conditional ===

If-else statements are used to branch out the script into different paths. 
They use the following syntax:
* '''if ''condition'' then ''statement'' else ''statement'' end'''
** Condition is a statement that results in a numeric value (where 0 is parsed as False, anything else as True), and statements are pieces of script that are run.
** All If-else conditional stations must have '''end''' syntax written after statement is complete.
** The statement has to be on one line. The if, then, else and end cannot be on different lines.

If can be used to branch script execution into two possible outcomes temporarily based on variable value(s). 
'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''else''' endResult = 4 '''end'''

* This script sets the value of '''endResult''' to 3 if '''variable''' does not have the value of 2.
* If '''variable''''s value is 2, '''endResult''' is set to the value of 4.

Note that the else statement -part can be left out if not needed. 

'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''end'''
*This script only sets the value of 3 to '''endResult''' if '''variable''' does not have a value of 2, and doesn't do anything else.

==== Nesting if statements ====

It is possible to place if-conditionals inside the true/false statement blocks to achieve further branching of execution. 
Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' endResult = 1 '''else''' '''if''' variable == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 1 if '''variable''' equals 0.
* If '''variable''' doesn't equal 0, but it equals 1, '''endResult''' is set to 2.

Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' '''if''' endResult == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''else''' endResult = 1 '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 2 if '''variable''' has a value of 0 and '''endResult''' equals to 1.
* If '''variable''' has a value of something other than 0, this script sets '''endResult''' to 1
* Otherwise '''endResult''' does not change, e.g. when '''variable''' is 0, but '''endResult''' does not equal 1

==== Combining conditions ====

It is possible to calculate conditions inside to further manipulate the branching of execution. 
Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 AND endResult != 2 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''else''' endResult = 1 '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 2 if '''variable''' equals 0, but only if '''endResult''' is not already 2.
* In any other case it sets '''endResult''' to 1.

=== Comments ===

Comments are useful when writing code that is used by a lot of programmers. 
Note that comments also use up space from the pre-determined 70 character line limit and are not excluded from it. 

Commenting is used with the following syntax:
*// '''text'''
** Text can be any single-line set of characters.

'''//''' This is a comment. It will explain how other lines of script work.
* An example of a possible comment syntax

== Order of Operations ==

Operations are conducted in the following order, when operators have the same precedence, left to right. 
To change order of operations, use ( ): e.g. 3*2+1=6+1=7 is the same as (3*2)+1=6+1=7 but is different from 3*(2+1)=3*3=9.
Where a line has multiple statements, they are executed left to right.

== Errors ==

There are two types of errors that can happen with the programming language.
# Syntax errors
# Runtime errors

* Syntax errors come from invalid and unparseable script and will result in the whole line not being executed.
* Runtime errors are only catchable while the script is being executed. They result in the execution of the line being interrupted, but any effects until the error will remain.

== Summary ==

{{#evt:service=youtube|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lXK6_bktUk|alignment=center}}

YOLOL is a programming language used to control and manage electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]]. 
The code is written on lines in [[YOLOL Chip|YOLOL chips]] which are then inserted into [[Chip socket|chip sockets]], that read and relay their messages. 
The programming language enables the programming and controlling of almost any device within the known universe.

== Basic information ==

=== How it works ===
The code is written to and executed from programmable chips, and can be used to both monitor and control electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]] connected to a [[Data networks|data network]]. 
Lines of code are executed in sequence from top to bottom, repeating the cycle of the chip after the last line has been executed, unless the script includes programmed instructions for specific line changes or stopping the execution completely.

To put it simply:

# Code execution starts from line 1
# After reading line 1, it proceeds to the next line based on the chip's time interval
# The process is then repeated for the lines 2, 3, 4... etc.
# The chip will begin executing line 1 again after the last line has been executed (unless the last line contains a goto statement or execution has been paused)

So blank lines still use 0.2 seconds and can be used as a brief execution delay. (lines with only a comment are effectively the same as a blank line.)

=== Limitations ===

* Lines take 0.2 seconds to execute.
* A line can contain a maximum of 70 characters (comments and spaces included).*
* Some functions only work on specific YOLOL chips.

*Note that because of this some examples shown below might not work in-game.

== Command references ==

=== Case insensitive ===

The programming language is fully case '''insensitive'''. 
This means that the following two example scripts function identically to each other:

if '''ButtonState''' == 1 then '''DoorState''' = 1 end

IF '''buttonstate''' == 1 THEN '''doorstate''' = 1 END
* Both scripts set the '''doorstate''' into 1, if '''buttonstate''' value is 1.
* The characters in the programming language can be written in either lowercase or uppercase letters.
** They are still parsed as case insensitive.
** This way it's possible to have the code look a bit more organized.

=== Variables ===

* The variables in the programming language are weakly typed (don't enforce type validity), and support two data types: '''Fixed-point decimals''' (up to 0.001 precision) and '''Strings''' (up to 1024 characters long).
** To put it simply, the variables can either be introduced as strings or numbers, ignoring the earlier variable type if the previous type is not identical, without causing an error.
* Each variable is always of a single type, though it will be implicitly converted when required.
* The default value of an uninitialized variable is 0, and null values are not supported.
* True/False are numerical values of non-0 and 0.
** True != 0
** False == 0

Assigning a value to a variable always converts the variable to the newly assigned value's type.

'''Example:'''

ultimateAutopilot= 128.643
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' containing a numeric value of 128.643

ultimateAutopilot= "Error prone"
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' to be a string variable "''Error prone''", and numeric value of 128.643 is removed.

==== Decimals ====

Numeric values in the programming language are 64-bit fixed-point decimals. 
The variables hold decimal numbers up to three decimal accuracy. 
As a result, the maximum value range (even during operations) is [-9223372036854775.808, 9223372036854775.807]

pieVariable= 3.142
* The above script assigns a numeric value of 3.142 to the variable '''pieVariable'''.
** Supplying more precise values than the variables can store works, but doesn't affect the end result.

notPieVariable= 0.5772156649
* The above script attempts to assign a numeric value of 0.5772156649 to the variable '''notPieVariable'''.
* The end result however is notPieVariable == 0.577
** Here, the more precise values are cut, leaving only three decimals behind.

==== Strings ====

To specify a string literal in the programming language, the desired string value must be surrounded with double quotation marks.
Strings can hold up to 127 characters.

badRobots= "saltberia"
* This script assigns the string value of "''saltberia''" to the variable '''badRobots'''.

==== Device fields / External variables ====

External variables and device fields can be used in the programming language with the following syntax: 
* ''':variableName'''
**'''variableName''' being the configured device field id.
A colon prefix ''':''' is used to tell the script that an external variable is being accessed, instead of using one that may or may not be declared or used in the script. 
A programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]] that is connected to a [[Devices and machines|device]] has access to all the devices in the same [[Data networks|network]]. 
It can then modify and listen to any device fields it has access to. 

if ''':ButtonState''' == 1 then ''':DoorState''' = 1 end
* The script above will send the value of 1 to any devices listening to the device field '''DoorState''' if the value of '''ButtonState''' is 1 in the data network.

==== Naming Limitations ====
Currently variables containing keywords such as '''if''' or '''end''' can be parsed incorrectly, and must be avoided.

==== Memory Chips and Relays ====

[[YOLOL memory chip|Memory Chips]] provide 10 device fields that aren't tied to the function of devices and can be used to share variables and their values between multiple [[YOLOL_Chip|YOLOL Chips]]. 
In a [[Memory_relay|Memory Relay]] they can also be used to copy data from one device field to another, which allows
* separation of networks e.g. for keeping the data networks less noisy and smaller
* a combination of shortened variable names in yolol and long variable names in displays e.g. for cockpit interfaces

== Operators and commands ==

Note that the available operators may be limited by the type of the programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]]. 
Basic chips have a limited selection of functions while more advanced ones can perform more complex operations natively.

=== Basic arithmetic and assignment operators ===

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| ATAN A || Inverse tangent of A (degrees) || Runtime error. The rest of the line is skipped. || Professional
|}

=== Logical operators ===

Logical operators are checks that identify if the statement is true or false. 
All logical operations return either '''"0 for False"''' or '''"1 for True"'''.
The '''NOT''', '''AND''', and '''OR''' keywords consider 0 to be falsy and anything not 0 to be truthy.

{| class="wikitable"

! Operation || Numeric operation || String operation || Chip availability
|-
| A B || Greater than || returns 0 if String A is first in alphabetical order, returns 1 if not. || All
|-
| A <= B ||Less than or equal to || returns 1 if String A is first in alphabetical order or identical to String B, returns 0 if not. || All
|-
| A >= B || Greater than or equal to || returns 0 if String A is first in alphabetical order or identical to String B, returns 1 if not. || All
|-
| A != B || Not equal to || returns 1 if String A is not equal to String B, 0 if it is. || All

| A AND B || And || Returns 1 if neither A nor B are 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|-
| A OR B || Or || Returns 1 if either A or B is not 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|}

=== Mixing variable types in operations ===

Mixing variable types in an operation handles the operation using all parameters as ''strings''.

previouslyNumber= "10" + 15
* The above script results in '''previouslyNumber''' containing the string value "1015".
** Note that the involved parameters themselves don't change types, their values are just cast as strings for the purpose of the operation:

purelyNumber = 15
purelyString = "10" + purelyNumber
* When this script has executed, '''purelyString''' contains the string value of "1015", while '''purelyNumber''' still contains the numeric value of 15.

=== Goto ===

Goto syntax is used when the normal script reading order from 1->20 is not desired, or needs to be altered.

Goto is used with the following syntax:
*'''goto lineNumber'''
** lineNumber is the line which this command will take the script execution. 
** Any remaining script that is on the same line after the goto-command will not be executed.
*** using if statements before goto ignores goto syntax, assuming the if-statement is false
** Multiple goto commands can be added on the same line using conditionals, as '''False''' goto commands are skipped.
** Numeric values outside the [1,20] range are clamped to this range.
** Non-integer values are floored.
** String values will result in a Runtime Error.

if variable == 5 then '''goto 4''' end '''goto 6'''

The script above will go to line number 4, if '''variable''' has a value of 5. 
Otherwise it will go to line number 6. Numerical operations can also be done "inside" the goto, e.g.

goto 4+1

=== If-else conditional ===

If-else statements are used to branch out the script into different paths. 
They use the following syntax:
* '''if ''condition'' then ''statement'' else ''statement'' end'''
** Condition is a statement that results in a numeric value (where 0 is parsed as False, anything else as True), and statements are pieces of script that are run.
** All If-else conditional stations must have '''end''' syntax written after statement is complete.
** The statement has to be on one line. The if, then, else and end cannot be on different lines.

If can be used to branch script execution into two possible outcomes temporarily based on variable value(s). 
'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''else''' endResult = 4 '''end'''

* This script sets the value of '''endResult''' to 3 if '''variable''' does not have the value of 2.
* If '''variable''''s value is 2, '''endResult''' is set to the value of 4.

Note that the else statement -part can be left out if not needed. 

'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''end'''
*This script only sets the value of 3 to '''endResult''' if '''variable''' does not have a value of 2, and doesn't do anything else.

==== Nesting if statements ====

It is possible to place if-conditionals inside the true/false statement blocks to achieve further branching of execution. 
Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' endResult = 1 '''else''' '''if''' variable == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 1 if '''variable''' equals 0.
* If '''variable''' doesn't equal 0, but it equals 1, '''endResult''' is set to 2.

Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' '''if''' endResult == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''else''' endResult = 1 '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 2 if '''variable''' has a value of 0, and '''endResult''' equals to 1.
* Otherwise it sets '''endResult''' to 1.

=== Comments ===

Comments are useful when writing code that is used by a lot of programmers. 
Note that comments also use up space from the pre-determined 70 character line limit and are not excluded from it. 

Commenting is used with the following syntax:
*// '''text'''
** Text can be any single-line set of characters.

'''//''' This is a comment. It will explain how other lines of script work.
* An example of a possible comment syntax

== Order of Operations ==

Operations are conducted in the following order, when operators have the same precedence, left to right. 
To change order of operations, use ( ): e.g. 3*2+1=6+1=7 is the same as (3*2)+1=6+1=7 but is different from 3*(2+1)=3*3=9.
Where a line has multiple statements, they are executed left to right.

== Summary ==

{{#evt:service=youtube|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lXK6_bktUk|alignment=center}}

YOLOL is a programming language used to control and manage electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]]. 
The code is written on lines in [[YOLOL Chip|YOLOL chips]] which are then inserted into [[Chip socket|chip sockets]], that read and relay their messages. 
The programming language enables the programming and controlling of almost any device within the known universe.

== Basic information ==

=== How it works ===
The code is written to and executed from programmable chips, and can be used to both monitor and control electrical [[Devices and machines|devices]] connected to a [[Data networks|data network]]. 
Lines of code are executed in sequence from top to bottom, repeating the cycle of the chip after the last line has been executed, unless the script includes programmed instructions for specific line changes or stopping the execution completely.

To put it simply:

# Code execution starts from line 1
# After reading line 1, it proceeds to the next line based on the chip's time interval
# The process is then repeated for the lines 2, 3, 4... etc.
# The chip will begin executing line 1 again after the last line has been executed (unless the last line contains a goto statement or execution has been paused)

So blank lines still use 0.2 seconds and can be used as a brief execution delay. (lines with only a comment are effectively the same as a blank line.)

=== Limitations ===

* Lines take 0.2 seconds to execute.
* A line can contain a maximum of 70 characters (comments and spaces included).*
* Some functions only work on specific YOLOL chips.

*Note that because of this some examples shown below might not work in-game.

== Command references ==

=== Case insensitive ===

The programming language is fully case '''insensitive'''. 
This means that the following two example scripts function identically to each other:

if '''ButtonState''' == 1 then '''DoorState''' = 1 end

IF '''buttonstate''' == 1 THEN '''doorstate''' = 1 END
* Both scripts set the '''doorstate''' into 1, if '''buttonstate''' value is 1.
* The characters in the programming language can be written in either lowercase or uppercase letters.
** They are still parsed as case insensitive.
** This way it's possible to have the code look a bit more organized.

=== Variables ===

* The variables in the programming language are weakly typed (don't enforce type validity), and support two data types: '''Fixed-point decimals''' (up to 0.001 precision) and '''Strings''' (up to 1024 characters long).
** To put it simply, the variables can either be introduced as strings or numbers, ignoring the earlier variable type if the previous type is not identical, without causing an error.
* Each variable is always of a single type, though it will be implicitly converted when required.
* The default value of an uninitialized variable is 0, and null values are not supported.
* True/False are numerical values of non-0 and 0.
** True != 0
** False == 0

Assigning a value to a variable always converts the variable to the newly assigned value's type.

'''Example:'''

ultimateAutopilot= 128.643
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' containing a numeric value of 128.643

ultimateAutopilot= "Error prone"
* This results in the variable '''ultimateAutopilot''' to be a string variable "''Error prone''", and numeric value of 128.643 is removed.

==== Decimals ====

Numeric values in the programming language are 64-bit fixed-point decimals. 
The variables hold decimal numbers up to three decimal accuracy. 
As a result, the maximum value range (even during operations) is [-9223372036854775.808, 9223372036854775.807]

pieVariable= 3.142
* The above script assigns a numeric value of 3.142 to the variable '''pieVariable'''.
** Supplying more precise values than the variables can store works, but doesn't affect the end result.

notPieVariable= 0.5772156649
* The above script attempts to assign a numeric value of 0.5772156649 to the variable '''notPieVariable'''.
* The end result however is notPieVariable == 0.577
** Here, the more precise values are cut, leaving only three decimals behind.

==== Strings ====

To specify a string literal in the programming language, the desired string value must be surrounded with double quotation marks. Strings can hold up to 127 characters.

badRobots= "saltberia"
* This script assigns the string value of "''saltberia''" to the variable '''badRobots'''.

==== Device fields / External variables ====

External variables and device fields can be used in the programming language with the following syntax: 
* ''':variableName'''
**'''variableName''' being the configured device field id.
A colon prefix ''':''' is used to tell the script that an external variable is being accessed, instead of using one that may or may not be declared or used in the script. 
A programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]] that is connected to a [[Devices and machines|device]] has access to all the devices in the same [[Data networks|network]]. 
It can then modify and listen to any device fields it has access to. 

if ''':ButtonState''' == 1 then ''':DoorState''' = 1 end
* The script above will send the value of 1 to any devices listening to the device field '''DoorState''' if the value of '''ButtonState''' is 1 in the data network.

==== Naming Limitations ====
Currently variables containing keywords such as '''if''' or '''end''' can be parsed incorrectly, and must be avoided.

==== Memory Chips and Relays ====

[[YOLOL memory chip|Memory Chips]] provide 10 device fields that aren't tied to the function of devices and can be used to share variables and their values between multiple [[YOLOL_Chip|YOLOL Chips]]. 
In a [[Memory_relay|Memory Relay]] they can also be used to copy data from one device field to another, which allows
* separation of networks e.g. for keeping the data networks less noisy and smaller
* a combination of shortened variable names in yolol and long variable names in displays e.g. for cockpit interfaces

== Operators and commands ==

Note that the available operators may be limited by the type of the programmable [[YOLOL Chip|chip]]. 
Basic chips have a limited selection of functions while more advanced ones can perform more complex operations natively.

=== Logical operators ===

Logical operators are checks that identify if the statement is true or false. 
All logical operations return either '''"0 for False"''' or '''"1 for True"'''.
The '''NOT''', '''AND''', and '''OR''' keywords consider 0 to be falsy and anything not 0 to be truthy.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Operation || Numeric operation || String operation || Chip availability
|-
| A B || Greater than || returns 0 if String A is first in alphabetical order, returns 1 if not. || All
|-
| A <= B ||Less than or equal to || returns 1 if String A is first in alphabetical order or identical to String B, returns 0 if not. || All
|-
| A >= B || Greater than or equal to || returns 0 if String A is first in alphabetical order or identical to String B, returns 1 if not. || All
|-
| A != B || Not equal to || returns 1 if String A is not equal to String B, 0 if it is. || All
|-
| A == B || Equal to || returns 1 if String A is equal to String B, 0 if not. || All
|-
| NOT A || Not || Returns 1 if A is 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|-
| A AND B || And || Returns 1 if neither A nor B are 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|-
| A OR B || Or || Returns 1 if either A or B is not 0, otherwise returns 0. || All
|}

=== Mixing variable types in operations ===

Mixing variable types in an operation handles the operation using all parameters as ''strings''.

previouslyNumber= "10" + 15
* The above script results in '''previouslyNumber''' containing the string value "1015".
** Note that the involved parameters themselves don't change types, their values are just cast as strings for the purpose of the operation:

purelyNumber = 15
purelyString = "10" + purelyNumber
* When this script has executed, '''purelyString''' contains the string value of "1015", while '''purelyNumber''' still contains the numeric value of 15.

=== Goto ===

Goto syntax is used when the normal script reading order from 1->20 is not desired, or needs to be altered.

Goto is used with the following syntax:
*'''goto lineNumber'''
** lineNumber is the line which this command will take the script execution. 
** Any remaining script that is on the same line after the goto-command will not be executed.
*** using if statements before goto ignores goto syntax, assuming the if-statement is false
** Multiple goto commands can be added on the same line using conditionals, as '''False''' goto commands are skipped.
** Numeric values outside the [1,20] range are clamped to this range.
** Non-integer values are floored.
** String values will result in a Runtime Error.

if variable == 5 then '''goto 4''' end '''goto 6'''

The script above will go to line number 4, if '''variable''' has a value of 5. 
Otherwise it will go to line number 6. Numerical operations can also be done "inside" the goto, e.g.

goto 4+1

=== If-else conditional ===

If-else statements are used to branch out the script into different paths. 
They use the following syntax:
* '''if ''condition'' then ''statement'' else ''statement'' end'''
** Condition is a statement that results in a numeric value (where 0 is parsed as False, anything else as True), and statements are pieces of script that are run.
** All If-else conditional stations must have '''end''' syntax written after statement is complete.
** The statement has to be on one line. The if, then, else and end cannot be on different lines.

If can be used to branch script execution into two possible outcomes temporarily based on variable value(s). 
'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''else''' endResult = 4 '''end'''

* This script sets the value of '''endResult''' to 3 if '''variable''' does not have the value of 2.
* If '''variable''''s value is 2, '''endResult''' is set to the value of 4.

Note that the else statement -part can be left out if not needed. 

'''Example:''' 
'''if''' variable != 2 '''then''' endResult = 3 '''end'''
*This script only sets the value of 3 to '''endResult''' if '''variable''' does not have a value of 2, and doesn't do anything else.

==== Nesting if statements ====

It is possible to place if-conditionals inside the true/false statement blocks to achieve further branching of execution. 
Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' endResult = 1 '''else''' '''if''' variable == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 1 if '''variable''' equals 0.
* If '''variable''' doesn't equal 0, but it equals 1, '''endResult''' is set to 2.

Example: 
'''if''' variable == 0 '''then''' '''if''' endResult == 1 '''then''' endResult = 2 '''end''' '''else''' endResult = 1 '''end'''
* This script sets '''endResult''' to 2 if '''variable''' has a value of 0, and '''endResult''' equals to 1.
* Otherwise it sets '''endResult''' to 1.

=== Comments ===

Comments are useful when writing code that is used by a lot of programmers. 
Note that comments also use up space from the pre-determined 70 character line limit and are not excluded from it. 

Commenting is used with the following syntax:
*// '''text'''
** Text can be any single-line set of characters.

'''//''' This is a comment. It will explain how other lines of script work.
* An example of a possible comment syntax

== Order of Operations ==

Operations are conducted in the following order, when operators have the same precedence, left to right. 
To change order of operations, use ( ): e.g. 3*2+1=6+1=7 is the same as (3*2)+1=6+1=7 but is different from 3*(2+1)=3*3=9.
Where a line has multiple statements, they are executed left to right.

== Errors ==

There are two types of errors that can happen with the programming language.
# Syntax errors
# Runtime errors

* Syntax errors come from invalid and unparseable script and will result in the whole line not being executed.
* Runtime errors are only catchable while the script is being executed. They result in the execution of the line being interrupted, but any effects until the error will remain.

== Known Bugs/Unintended Behavior ==
This is a list of known problems regarding yolol: 

* variablenames including keywords like "if" in them will parse with the keyword in mind, resulting in a syntax error. Example: :life would be parsed as :l if e

== Ship usage ==

Missiles can be found on the following ships, either as its default, or as a variant:
* [[Veles|Veles]]

== Parts ==

Missiles are modular projectiles comprising 4 seperate parts, varients of each are available
* Thruster, default or fast
* Propellant tank, default or small and explosive
* Warhead, heat or corosive damage
* Fuse, contact or proximity

== Launcher ==

While missiles can be launched using a universal tool, they are best used in conjunction with a missile launcher.

== Quick Facts ==
Freelance Operatives of XenoCow (F.O.X. or FOX) is a (nearly) apolitical union of players designed to provide organization, resources, and community for players who like to play alone or outside of company/faction operations. Members may be members of both F.O.X. and another company or faction† simultaneously. Members will have access to a discord server where they may:
*Post jobs
*View and accept jobs
*Post and maintain a CV that can be rated
*Team up with other players to be able to tackle larger jobs
*Post advertisements
*Worship Pip/Bob/Clang
†See [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/F.O.X.#Rules Rules]for exceptions.

== Freelance Operatives of XenoCow ==
The universe can often be a hard place for a lone endo. However, some of the factions and companies that offer membership can be equally challenging due to the commitments required. What's an endo to do that wants to live free? Tasks can be hard to find, so we're here to make it easier. Not only can members of F.O.X. find tasks and meet clients, but they can request the help of fellow F.O.X. members when the task is too big for one endo alone.

Membership is not limited to freelance endos! If you want a task done, the task board is be the best place to post your tasks. Additionally, we have a dossier of members (employers and freelancers) that let you find the right endo for the task. If you end up being rated too low, maybe it's time to ask for some help or to put on a smile for the clients.

== Rules ==
There are not many rules to be in this organization. Endos may even be a member of a faction (with some exceptions) and also a member of F.O.X..
===#1===
Don't be a pirate. The only organizations that F.O.X. members may not be concurrently affiliated with are ones that practice piracy. Exceptions may be made if the organization is at war with another and condones privateering. ''However'', members may not be privateers either.
===#2===
Don't let pirates get away. If during your adventures or jobs you encounter pirates, you must do your best to destroy them completely. The only exception to this rule comes if fighting them puts your client's mission at greater risk or if the odds are stacked greatly against you.
===#3===
Follow the motto. Act with integrity, honor, and retain your freedom in all that you do.
===#4===
Respect each other. Sometimes, especially during times of war, endos might be hired to work for both sides of a conflict. If that is the case, fight for your client, but when the fighting stops you may not hold any grudges against the fellow F.O.X. members whom you fought.
===#5===
Members that are mercenaries are required to help with fighting or combat logistics if one of the F.O.X. members needs standing up for or F.O.X. is hired to fight in a conflict. However, mercenaries will be prohibited from participating in conflicts against their own companies.

== Goals ==
F.O.X.'s main goal is to create a universe where endos are free to live as they please and to act as an opposing force to bandits. Secondly, we strive to help the endos that might be having a tough time finding good work find something meaningful to do. Thirdly, we wish to set the bar for what quality service looks like. F.O.X. should become synonymous with freelancer as we work to fill the tasks that need doing.

== Getting Started ==
To get started, follow this link: https://discord.gg/NqJWtZb to join the server. Once you arrive, you will be greeted by the #welcome channel. From there, proceed to the #roles channel to give yourself a role or two to have access to the rest of the server.

== Using the Discord Server ==
This section describes the function and use of the channels in the Discord server.
===Information===
====#welcome====
This is where new members first join. It displays some basic information on how the server works and where to go to get started.
====#roles====
This channel allows members to assign themselves roles to access the rest of the server and to show what kind of member they are. There are four options:
* Guest: The starting role which only has access to the #welcome, #roles, #rules, and #most-wanted channels.
* Employer: Employers have access to the rest of the server except the #advertisements channel. They may post in #task-listings.
* Freelance: This role gives access to the rest of the server except the #advertisements channel. They may not post in #task-listings.
* Advertiser: This role is the most limited. Advertisers may post in #advertisements and the general channels, but not in the task-related channels.
====#announcements====
Check this channel for updates on the what's new in F.O.X. and for event announcements.
====#most-wanted====
This will be a list of the worst pirates and the rewards for destroying them and their ships. Members may propose players to XenoCow or other officers to add to the list. Any members may add to the reward pools as well to incentivize other players to help in the hunt.

===Tasks===
====#task-listings====
The task listings channel is the heart of F.O.X.. This is where employers list tasks and where freelancers find tasks. Any messages that are not task descriptions or complete will be deleted to make finding jobs easier and the channel less cluttered.

=== Purpose ===
To enforce the agreements that are made with our members, to fulfill contracts to aid our customers in battle, and to hunt rogue pirates that are harassing people, F.O.X. trains a dedicated force of mercenaries.
=== Joining ===
For now, anyone may join. You must ask XenoCow for permission, and he will grant it. Combat and leadership experience is preferred, though. Like other parts of F.O.X., members of the mercenary may be members of other companies simultaneously. However, like stated in the rules, participation against your own faction is prohibited.

== Freelance Operatives of XenoCow ==
The universe can often be a hard place for a lone endo. However, some of the factions and companies that offer membership can be equally challenging due to the commitments required. What's an endo to do that wants to live free? Tasks can be hard to find, so we're here to make it easier. Not only can members of F.O.X. find tasks and meet clients, but they can request the help of fellow F.O.X. members when the task is too big for one endo alone.

Membership is not limited to freelance endos! If you want a task done, the task board is be the best place to post your tasks. Additionally, we have a dossier of members (employers and freelancers) that let you find the right endo for the task. If you end up being rated too low, maybe it's time to ask for some help or to put on a smile for the clients.

== Rules ==
There are not many rules to be in this organization. Endos may even be a member of a faction (with some exceptions) and also a member of F.O.X..
===#1===
Don't be a pirate. The only organizations that F.O.X. members may not be concurrently affiliated with are ones that practice piracy. Exceptions may be made if the organization is at war with another and condones privateering. ''However'', members may not be privateers either.
===#2===
Don't let pirates get away. If during your adventures or jobs you encounter pirates, you must do your best to destroy them completely. The only exception to this rule comes if fighting them puts your client's mission at greater risk or if the odds are stacked greatly against you.
===#3===
Follow the motto. Act with integrity, honor, and retain your freedom in all that you do.
===#4===
Respect each other. Sometimes, especially during times of war, endos might be hired to work for both sides of a conflict. If that is the case, fight for your client, but when the fighting stops you may not hold any grudges against the fellow F.O.X. members whom you fought.
===#5===
Members that are mercenaries are required to help with fighting or combat logistics if one of the F.O.X. members needs standing up for or F.O.X. is hired to fight in a conflict. However, mercenaries will be prohibited from participating in conflicts against their own companies.

== Goals ==
F.O.X.'s main goal is to create a universe where endos are free to live as they please and to act as an opposing force to bandits. Secondly, we strive to help the endos that might be having a tough time finding good work find something meaningful to do. Thirdly, we wish to set the bar for what quality service looks like. F.O.X. should become synonymous with freelancer as we work to fill the tasks that need doing.

== Quick Facts ==
Freelance Operatives of XenoCow (F.O.X. or FOX) is a (nearly) apolitical union of players designed to provide organization, resources, and community for players who like to play alone or outside of company/faction operations. Members may be members of both F.O.X. and another company or faction† simultaneously. Members will have access to a discord server where they may:
*Post jobs
*View and accept jobs
*Post and maintain a CV that can be rated
*Team up with other players to be able to tackle larger jobs
*Post advertisements
*Worship Pip/Bob/Clang
†See [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/F.O.X.#Rules Rules]for exceptions.

== Freelance Operatives of XenoCow ==
The universe can often be a hard place for a lone endo. However, some of the factions and companies that offer membership can be equally challenging due to the commitments required. What's an endo to do that wants to live free? Tasks can be hard to find, so we're here to make it easier. Not only can members of F.O.X. find tasks and meet clients, but they can request the help of fellow F.O.X. members when the task is too big for one endo alone.

Membership is not limited to freelance endos! If you want a task done, the task board is be the best place to post your tasks. Additionally, we have a dossier of members (employers and freelancers) that let you find the right endo for the task. If you end up being rated too low, maybe it's time to ask for some help or to put on a smile for the clients.

== Rules ==
There are not many rules to be in this organization. Endos may even be a member of a faction (with some exceptions) and also a member of F.O.X..
===#1===
Don't be a pirate. The only organizations that F.O.X. members may not be concurrently affiliated with are ones that practice piracy. Exceptions may be made if the organization is at war with another and condones privateering. ''However'', members may not be privateers either.
===#2===
Don't let pirates get away. If during your adventures or jobs you encounter pirates, you must do your best to destroy them completely. The only exception to this rule comes if fighting them puts your client's mission at greater risk or if the odds are stacked greatly against you.
===#3===
Follow the motto. Act with integrity, honor, and retain your freedom in all that you do.
===#4===
Respect each other. Sometimes, especially during times of war, endos might be hired to work for both sides of a conflict. If that is the case, fight for your client, but when the fighting stops you may not hold any grudges against the fellow F.O.X. members whom you fought.
===#5===
Members that are mercenaries are required to help with fighting or combat logistics if one of the F.O.X. members needs standing up for or F.O.X. is hired to fight in a conflict. However, mercenaries will be prohibited from participating in conflicts against their own companies.

== Goals ==
F.O.X.'s main goal is to create a universe where endos are free to live as they please and to act as an opposing force to bandits. Secondly, we strive to help the endos that might be having a tough time finding good work find something meaningful to do. Thirdly, we wish to set the bar for what quality service looks like. F.O.X. should become synonymous with freelancer as we work to fill the tasks that need doing.

== Getting Started ==
To get started, follow this link: https://discord.gg/NqJWtZb to join the server. Once you arrive, you will be greeted by the #welcome channel. From there, proceed to the #roles channel to give yourself a role or two to have access to the rest of the server.

== Using the Discord Server ==
This section describes the function and use of the channels in the Discord server.
===Information===
====#welcome====
This is where new members first join. It displays some basic information on how the server works and where to go to get started.
====#roles====
This channel allows members to assign themselves roles to access the rest of the server and to show what kind of member they are. There are four options:
* Guest: The starting role which only has access to the #welcome, #roles, #rules, and #most-wanted channels.
* Employer: Employers have access to the rest of the server except the #advertisements channel. They may post in #task-listings.
* Freelance: This role gives access to the rest of the server except the #advertisements channel. They may not post in #task-listings.
* Advertiser: This role is the most limited. Advertisers may post in #advertisements and the general channels, but not in the task-related channels.
====#announcements====
Check this channel for updates on the what's new in F.O.X. and for event announcements.
====#most-wanted====
This will be a list of the worst pirates and the rewards for destroying them and their ships. Members may propose players to XenoCow or other officers to add to the list. Any members may add to the reward pools as well to incentivize other players to help in the hunt.

===Tasks===
====#task-listings====
The task listings channel is the heart of F.O.X.. This is where employers list tasks and where freelancers find tasks. Any messages that are not task descriptions or complete will be deleted to make finding jobs easier and the channel less cluttered.
There are an infinite number of tasks that could need doing. However, here is a list of templates for common tasks:
=====Cargo=====

== Quick Facts ==
Freelance Operatives of XenoCow (F.O.X. or FOX) is a (nearly) apolitical union of players designed to provide organization, resources, and community for players who like to play alone or outside of company/faction operations. Members may be members of both F.O.X. and another company or faction† simultaneously. Members will have access to a discord server where they may:
*Post jobs
*View and accept jobs
*Post and maintain a CV that can be rated
*Team up with other players to be able to tackle larger jobs
*Post advertisements
*Worship Pip/Bob/Clang
†See [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/F.O.X.#Rules Rules]for exceptions.

== Freelance Operatives of XenoCow ==
The universe can often be a hard place for a lone endo. However, some of the factions and companies that offer membership can be equally challenging due to the commitments required. What's an endo to do that wants to live free? Tasks can be hard to find, so we're here to make it easier. Not only can members of F.O.X. find tasks and meet clients, but they can request the help of fellow F.O.X. members when the task is too big for one endo alone.

Membership is not limited to freelance endos! If you want a task done, the task board is be the best place to post your tasks. Additionally, we have a dossier of members (employers and freelancers) that let you find the right endo for the task. If you end up being rated too low, maybe it's time to ask for some help or to put on a smile for the clients.

== Rules ==
There are not many rules to be in this organization. Endos may even be a member of a faction (with some exceptions) and also a member of F.O.X..
===#1===
Don't be a pirate. The only organizations that F.O.X. members may not be concurrently affiliated with are ones that practice piracy. Exceptions may be made if the organization is at war with another and condones privateering. ''However'', members may not be privateers either.
===#2===
Don't let pirates get away. If during your adventures or jobs you encounter pirates, you must do your best to destroy them completely. The only exception to this rule comes if fighting them puts your client's mission at greater risk or if the odds are stacked greatly against you.
===#3===
Follow the motto. Act with integrity, honor, and retain your freedom in all that you do.
===#4===
Respect each other. Sometimes, especially during times of war, endos might be hired to work for both sides of a conflict. If that is the case, fight for your client, but when the fighting stops you may not hold any grudges against the fellow F.O.X. members whom you fought.

== Goals ==
F.O.X.'s main goal is to create a universe where endos are free to live as they please without worries about bandits. Secondly, we strive to help the endos that might be having a tough time finding good work find something meaningful to do. Thirdly, we wish to set the bar for what quality service looks like. F.O.X. should become synonymous with freelancer as we work to fill the tasks that need doing.

== Quick Facts ==
Freelance Operatives of XenoCow (F.O.X. or FOX) is a (nearly) apolitical union of players designed to provide organization, resources, and community for players who like to play alone or outside of company/faction operations. Members may be members of both F.O.X. and another company or faction† simultaneously. Members will have access to a discord server where they may:
*Post jobs
*View and accept jobs
*Post and maintain a CV that can be rated
*Team up with other players to be able to tackle larger jobs
*Post advertisements
*Worship Pip/Bob/Clang
†See [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/F.O.X.#Rules Rules]for exceptions.

== Freelance Operatives of XenoCow ==
The universe can often be a hard place for a lone endo. However, some of the factions and companies that offer membership can be equally challenging due to the commitments required. What's an endo to do that wants to live free? Tasks can be hard to find, so we're here to make it easier. Not only can members of F.O.X. find tasks and meet clients, but they can request the help of fellow F.O.X. members when the task is too big for one endo alone.

Membership is not limited to freelance endos! If you want a task done, the task board is be the best place to post your tasks. Additionally, we have a dossier of members (employers and freelancers) that let you find the right endo for the task. If you end up being rated too low, maybe it's time to ask for some help or to put on a smile for the clients.

== Rules ==
There are not many rules to be in this organization. Endos may even be a member of a faction (with some exceptions) and also a member of F.O.X..
===#1===
Don't be a pirate. The only organizations that F.O.X. members may not be concurrently affiliated with are ones that practice piracy. Exceptions may be made if the organization is at war with another and condones privateering. ''However'', members may not be privateers either.
===#2===
Don't let pirates get away. If during your adventures or jobs you encounter pirates, you must do your best to destroy them completely. The only exception to this rule comes if fighting them puts your client's mission at greater risk or if the odds are stacked greatly against you.
===#3===
Follow the motto. Act with integrity, honor, and retain your freedom in all that you do.
===#4===
Respect each other. Sometimes, especially during times of war, endos might be hired to work for both sides of a conflict. If that is the case, fight for your client, but when the fighting stops you may not hold any grudges against the fellow F.O.X. members whom you fought.

== Goals ==
F.O.X.'s main goal is to create a universe where endos are free to live as they please without worries about bandits. Secondly, we strive to help the endos that might be having a tough time finding good work find something meaningful to do. Thirdly, we wish to set the bar for what quality service looks like. F.O.X. should become synonymous with freelancer as we work to fill the tasks that need doing.

== Quick Facts ==
Freelance Operatives of XenoCow (F.O.X. or FOX) is a (nearly) apolitical union of players designed to provide organization, resources, and community for players who like to play alone or outside of company/faction operations. Members may be members of both F.O.X. and another company or faction† simultaneously. Members will have access to a discord server where they may:
*Post jobs
*View and accept jobs
*Post and maintain a CV that can be rated
*Team up with other players to be able to tackle larger jobs
*Post advertisements
*Worship Pip/Bob/Clang
†See [https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/F.O.X.#Rules Rules]for exceptions.

== Freelance Operatives of XenoCow ==
The universe can often be a hard place for a lone endo. However, some of the factions and companies that offer membership can be equally challenging due to the commitments required. What's an endo to do that wants to live free? Tasks can be hard to find, so we're here to make it easier. Not only can members of F.O.X. find tasks and meet clients, but they can request the help of fellow F.O.X. members when the task is too big for one endo alone.

Membership is not limited to freelance endos! If you want a task done, the task board is be the best place to post your tasks. Additionally, we have a dossier of members (employers and freelancers) that let you find the right endo for the task. If you end up being rated too low, maybe it's time to ask for some help or to put on a smile for the clients.

== Rules ==
There are not many rules to be in this organization. Endos may even be a member of a faction (with some exceptions) and also a member of F.O.X..
===#1===
Don't be a pirate. The only organizations that F.O.X. members may not be concurrently affiliated with are ones that practice piracy. Exceptions may be made if the organization is at war with another and condones privateering. ''However'', members may not be privateers either.
===#2===
Don't let pirates get away. If during your adventures or jobs you encounter pirates, you must do your best to destroy them completely. The only exception to this rule comes if fighting them puts your client's mission at greater risk or if the odds are stacked greatly against you.
===#3===
Follow the motto. Act with integrity, honor, and retain your freedom in all that you do.
===#4===
Respect each other. Sometimes, especially during times of war, endos might be hired to work for both sides of a conflict. If that is the case, fight for your client, but when the fighting stops you may not hold any grudges against the fellow F.O.X. members whom you fought.

== Goals ==
F.O.X.'s main goal is to create a universe where endos are free to live as they please without worries about bandits. Secondly, we strive to help the endos that might be having a tough time finding good work find something meaningful to do. Thirdly, we wish to set the bar for what quality service looks like. F.O.X. should become synonymous with freelancer as we work to fill the tasks that need doing.

== Getting Started ==
To get started, follow this link: https://discord.gg/NqJWtZb to join the server. Once you arrive, you will be greeted by the #welcome channel. From there, proceed to the #roles channel to give yourself a role or two to have access to the rest of the server.

XenoCow: Changed note under Duke's GPS System to promote ISAN while not degrading Duke's

Since Starbase has no in built coordinate system accesable to the player, it has been neccersary to develop comunity soloutions to the problem of 'where am I?'

Systems so far untilise the [[Radio transmitters|Transmitter]] and [[Navigation receivers|Receiver]] systems to determine a ships position using [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilateration Multilateration].

== Systems ==

Both systems below share compatable coordinates, information about the position of various stations can be found in the [[Radio transmitters|Transmitters]] page.

While being the first publicly available navigation system, the ISAN system is superior.
