=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Acme::Beatnik;
  blah blah blah

=head1 ABSTRACT

The Beatnik language is a based on scrabble word values. Each value points to a different instruction.
The language is stack based and has a rather reduced instruction set.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Beatnik is an esoteric programming language based on scrabble word values in the code.
Each word value is linked to a certain instruction. The number of instructions is limited
since there are only a certain number of values possible in Scrabble. Beatnik is a stack based
programming language.

  11  Swap the two topmost values from stack
  12  Duplicate the first value from stack and push it onto stack
  13  Move the Instruction Pointer X values forward if the first value on stack is zero (X being the next word value)
  14  Move the Instruction Pointer X values forward if the first value on stack is not zero (X being the next word value)
  15  Move the Instruction Pointer X values backward if the first value on stack is zero (X being the next word value)
  16  Move the Instruction Pointer X values backward if the first value on stack is not zero (X being the next word value)
  17  Halt the program

=head1 ENGLISH TILESET

Since Scrabble has different letter values for different countries, there is a problem. Acme::Beatnik uses the English based tileset.
Future versions might include the possibility to have other tilesets as well.

 A=1  B=3  C=3  D=2  E=1  F=4  G=2  H=4  I=1  J=8  K=5  L=1  M=3  N=1  O=1  P=3  Q=10  R=1  S=1  T=1  U=1  V=4  W=4  X=8  Y=4  Z=10

=head1 EXAMPLE

  use Acme::Beatnik
