Insert <it's not much but it's honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.

Can you guess what everything does?

Looks like you've got a bug in there.

if false no cap
    canYouSeeMe = false
if cap
    canYouSeeMe = true
sheesh

Won't this always go into the else/cap condition since the if condition is checking to see that false == true?

You're correct, but it doesn't really matter for demo purposes. In an actual use case (whatever that would be for this language) you would of course want to use some kind of variable or expression there instead of a constant.
