Error	Outputs the current error information in the format ErrorNumber.ErrorAddress (See ZCPU/ErrorCodes), otherwise this outputs the number of the last executed interrupt.

Description

The CPU is a fully-programmable advanced virtual processor based on the ZVM (like GPU and SPU). It emulates a realistic processor, and can be programmed using HL-ZASM, a C-like language with capability for embedded assembly code, which is then compiled to bytecode for use by the CPU.

Various tutorials are available on the forums.

For tutorials on using the CPU in your contraptions, see Category:ZCPU Tutorials. A handbook describing the CPU's features in-depth is at Category:ZCPU Handbook.
