If the ''p1'' bit is set, then the parameter is evaluated as a pointer and dereferenced. Otherwise it is treated as a constant. If multiple parameters are present, the bits work down from the MSB to the LSB. | If the ''p1'' bit is set, then the parameter is evaluated as a pointer and dereferenced.

However, many instructions are exceptions to this rule. For example, instructions such as '''actorSet''' that take an auxiliary opcode will put it somewhere in the instruction stream; '''actorSet''' puts it after the first parameter, and then the other parameters vary according to the particular operation. '''jumpRelative''' puts the jump target immediately after the opcode encoded as a constant. Some opcodes (such as '''drawBox''') take too many parameters and have a supplementary opcode byte to contain the extra parameter bits. You have been warned. | However, many instructions are exceptions to this rule.
