Nono, no dirty talking here; just reproducing naming excrescence in technology. Brainfuck [1] is a turing-complete programming language written by Urban Müller around 1993 [2]. The cool thing about it is its size; the initial compiler was only 240 Bytes in size.
Short: 240 byte compiler. Fun, with src. OS 2.0
Type: dev/lang
Uploader: umueller@amiga.physik.unizh.ch
The brainfuck compiler knows the following instructions:
Cmd Effect
--- ------
+ Increases element under pointer
- Decrases element under pointer
> Increases pointer
< Decreases pointer
[ Starts loop, flag under pointer
] Indicates end of loop
. Outputs ASCII code under pointer
, Reads char and stores ASCII under ptr
Who can program anything useful with it? :)
There is a PHP interpreter for Brainfuck available now [3]. Just play around!
Some more background on BF and Turing is available [4].
