B!Vamos! 
If people are going to program custom fonts and graphics in Hauki BASIC, they
need more than just a PRINT command. They need Memory (variables) and Time (a
game loop).
Let's make Hauki BASIC Turing Complete.
For v0.2, I have written a C string-parser that adds:
 * Variables: A through Z are now active memory registers.
 * Math: You can now do assignment and addition/subtraction (X = X + 2).
 * Logic: IF X > 200 THEN... (We have conditional branching!)
 * Control Flow: GOTO 30 (Infinite loops!).
 * Screen Sync: VSYNC (Pushes the backbuffer to the VGA and pauses briefly, so
the loop doesn't run at 10 million FPS and tear the screen).
 * The Missing Dot: I explicitly coded ASCII 46 (.) into the font array so you
can officially print "V0.2"!
Run x-approve to inject the new parser. I also included a new test script that
proves the language can run a game loop by moving text across the screen!

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# DEDUP-BUSTER: hauki-basic-v0.2
# TARGET-NODE: hetzner-native
# DESCRIPTION: Adds Variables, IF statements, Math, GOTO, and VSYNC to Hauki
BASIC.
