KFORTH is a forth-like language. The ‘K’ stands for “Ken’s”. So KFORTH means Ken’s Forth. Woo hoo. This is the language used to control the cells in the simulator. This language has several properties that make it perfect for being used in an ALife context. It is simple to implement/parse etc… It has a very simple instruction set. It only has one data type (which is a 64-bit integer). KFORTH programs compile into a simple row/column matrix, which lends itself to sexual recombination (Evolve interlaces each row between the two parents).
