Embryo is primarily a shared library that gives you an API to load and control
|
|
interpredted programs compiled into the abstract machine bytecode that it
|
|
understands. This abstrac (or virtual) machine is imilar to a real machine
|
|
with a CPU, but it is emulated in software. The architecture is simple and is
|
|
the same as the abstract machine (AMX) in the
|
|
SMALL (http://www.compuphase.com/small.htm) language as it is based
|
|
on exactly the same code. Embryo has modified the code for the AMX extensively
|
|
and has made it smaller and more portable. It is VERY small. The total size
|
|
of the virtual machine code AND header files is less than 2500 lines of code.
|
|
It includes the floating point library support by default as well. This makes
|
|
it one of the smallest interpreting engines around, and thus makes is very
|
|
efficient to use in code.
