Statements
----------

invoke register               executes register
jump address                  moves execution pointer to address
jump-if register address      moves execution pointer to address if register is non-zero
set register1 register2       sets register1 to register2
set register1 value           sets register1 to value
negate register1              sets register1 to zero if register1 is non-zero, else one.
add register1 register2       adds register2 to register1 and leaves the total in register1
subtract register1 register2  substracts register2 from register1 and leaves the total in register1
multiply register1 register2  multiplies register1 by register2 and leaves the total in register1
divide register1 register2    divides register1 by register2 and leaves the total in register1
modulus register1 register2   divides register1 by register2 and leaves the remainder in register1

 Sample script for ship:

   connect fuel to tank.fuel
   connect keyboard to 
     

 Sample script for tank:

   connect fuel to contents
                

 Sample script for engine:

   variable $power is float initially 0.0

   regularly:
     move upto (capacity * $power) from parent.fuel into this
     combust into parent as propulsion
     empty into parent.waste


If missing port is pulled, nothing is moved (nothing is added).
If missing port is pushes, nothing is moved (stuff remains where it is).
If stuff is pushed to non-existent parent, it is pushed onto surface
