Syntax Explanation

There are 18 variables you can use, named after the 18 possible colors of among us players. You can see a list of all colors here. However, you need to write the color-names in lowercase. Every color/variable can hold a byte so a number from 0 to 255
The values of all colors/variables are 0 by default.

List of statements

The sus statement

You can select a color/variable using the sus-Statement What "selecting" means, is explained in the following:


Statements for modifying the sus-meter

To modify the sus-meter of a color/variable, there are 4 different statements all with the same syntax:

<color name> <statement>

These statements are used to change the value of the variables:

Keyword Description
killed increases the sus-meter of a color by 10
vented increases the sus-meter of a color by 1
didVisual decreases the sus-meter of a color by 10
wasWithMe decreases the sus-meter of a color by 1

For example, you can increase cyan's sus-meter by 10 using cyan killed


Output Statements

You can output the values of variable in 2 different ways:

emergencyMeeting prints the selected variable to the terminal encoded in ASCII

report prints the selected variable to the terminal as a number

Since emergencyMeeting prints a variable's value in ASCII and the first letter in ASCII is at number 65, you need to first increase a variable to 65 (capital A in ASCII) to print text. From 65, ASCII goes through the alphabet first in uppercase then in lowercase. You can find an ASCII table here.

If you don't want to always write:

cyan killed
cyan killed
cyan killed
cyan killed
cyan killed
cyan killed
cyan vented
cyan vented
cyan vented
cyan vented
cyan vented

to get to A in ASCII, you can use #define suspect as described here.


The Who?-Statement

Using the line who? you can let the interpreter wait for the user to input a color. This color will then be selected.

However this Statement only works in console builds. Also, who? is sadly currently the only way of having the user input data.


Loops

You can put parts of your code in brackets ([]) to create a loop. This loop will run until the selected colors value turns 0. If you want to learn more about SusLang-Loops, you can read this wiki article.


The wasWith Statement

You can use <colorA> wasWith <colorB> to assign colorB's value to colorA.
This is simmilar to the = Statement is other (less sussy) languages.

However, you can also use wasWith to to create a pointer to a keyword as described here.


Define-Statements

Define Statements are executed before running the actual code (no matter where in the code they are). They can do things like defining new colors or creating custom keywords. You can learn more about define statements here. Define statements always start with #define

Comments

The interpreter will ignore any text in a source file that is behind trashtalk or //. You can use this to explain your code.

For example you could write trashtalk this is for writing an A and the interpreter will completely ignore it

He-Syntax

Instead of writing the name of a color, you can also use he or she to use the currently selected color.
Example:

red sus
he killed // This will increase red by 10
