Hey @iluwatar, I would love to work on this if no one else has claimed it yet. Ok @abhishek7  @abhishek7  are you still implementing this? @iluwatar apologies for the delay, did not have a chance to make additional progress on it. Feel free to give it to someone else. If I do have time, I'll open up a PR and reference the issue accordingly. The issue is free to take again Hi @iluwatar, if nobody is working on this then I can try to implement this pattern. Ok @pzawitowski

+## Intent
+Allows to encode behaviour as instructions for virtual machine.
+
+## Applicability
+Use the Bytecode pattern when you have a lot of behavior you need to define and your
+game’s implementation language isn’t a good fit because:
+
+* it’s too low-level, making it tedious or error-prone to program in.
+* iterating on it takes too long due to slow compile times or other tooling issues.
+* it has too much trust. If you want to ensure the behavior being defined can’t break the game, you need to sandbox it from the rest of the codebase.
