.up
Without these, there could be no movement, just bouncing, gliding, flowing and tie-pushing.

Syntax:
- .up accelerates the robot forward in the direction that he is facing.
Examples:
10 .up store
or
10 1 store
This puts 10 on the stack. Than it puts 1 on the stack. Than it stores 10 in memory location 1 of the bot (.up) and removes 1 and 10 from the stack. The 10 in memory location 1 of the bot makes accelerates him +10 forward if he has not reached the maximum acceleration in that direction.
cond start 10 .up store stop
A robot with this gene would constantly accelerate forward at a rate of 10 per turn. That is to say that his forward velocity would increase by a value of 10. If he should rotate then the direction in which the acceleration takes place would also change.
Technical Details:
Movement values get cut above 1000 and below -1000, then added up to a single vector incluging tie and other propulsion vectors, then the vector gets cut to a lenght of 40 as maximum aceleration.
