Bytebeat in Flowstone

Hello everyone!

This is my first post on a specific subject so go easy on me :D

Been fiddling with bytebeat lately and I'm very fascinated by the whole concept of "sound/music from very short programs" (more of expressions). From all my research on the subject, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible in Flowstone. Here is some basic info and apps for those new to the subject:

There are many resources online regarding bytebeat but I think I covered the essentials.
Managed to do it in PD with the aid of a tutorial https://youtu.be/6OrtZRGHr_M.

So, I'm wondering how to implement it in Flowstone with DSP Code and/or assembler components.
Its really fascinating stuff and making it work in Flowstone would be quite a project. Anyone is welcome to contribute or start their own bb project. Would love to see oscillators based on this concept :lol:

Cheers.
