### Instruction encoding
Instructions are 1-3 words long and are fully defined by the first word.
In a basic instruction, the lower 6 bits of the first word of the instruction
are the opcode, and the remaining 10 bits are split into a 5 bit destination operand
and a 5 bit source operand.
In bits, a basic instruction has the format: `sssssdddddoooooo`
Operand value:
| Description | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Invalid or none | `00000` |
| Immediate value at IP+1 | `11111` |
| [Immediate value at IP+1] | `11110` |
| Register | `00001`-`01000` |
| [Register] | `01001`-`10000` |
| Register + Immediate value at IP+1 | `10001`-`11000` |

Some instructions will change certain flags based on their result. These are in a special non read-write register. These flags are used for the family of jump instructions. You can also use the [`PUSHF`](#pushf) and [`POPF`](#popf) instructions to query and manipulate the flags Some instructions will change certain flags based on their result.
