Dispense with this web browser binary people; there are more browsers than Firefox and Chrome. Why, there's Opera, which was built on Chromium I guess, and Chinese spy program Maxthon, and uhhh Netscape Navigator

i was going to do "Hello" but getting any number out of this is hard
that entire first line is just trying to get to "H"
third one is "l"
i've made it so that -1 wraps to 255
255 isn't the upper limit, it's just an arbitrary number

i decided to make things worse
it seems to
sorta work?? https://computerfairi.es/media/tBQa9mZDkH4SbOkROzM https://computerfairi.es/media/6tUvGdMaHi9ME7v-L7Y
additionally, interpreting a number with 8 or 9 in it as octal causes the variable to be set to 0 immediately
question: is it possible to increment any *even* starting number by 1 with this
h interprets a number like it's a hexadecimal number (20 => 0x20 => 32)
O interprets a number like it's an octal number (20 => 020 => 16)
s subtracts 1 from even numbers and adds 1 to odd numbers
rest should be explanatory

they also have mathmatical italics where every single character is assigned except for lowercase h
uppercase H exists!
you just don't get lowercase h. only character not there
