BFFuck

Makes brainfucking easier

The tools is an esoteric language that compiles to brainfuck, using algorithms in brainfuck algorithms.

Usage:

Run this in Python:

from bffuck import BFFuck
bff=BFFuck()
bf=bff.compile('Your code')

Note that if a BFFuck object is created and used, its status will change and therefore cannot compile another program.

Syntax

BFFuck currently supports the following syntax:

Comment:

# Comment

Variable definition:

<variable 1>=<variable 2>
or
<variable>=<number>

Addition:

add(x,<number>)
or
add(x,<variable>)

Subtraction:

sub(x,<number>)
or
sub(x,<variable>)

Multiplication:

mul(x,<number>)
or
mul(x,<variable>)

Modulo:

mod(x,<number>)
or
mod(x,<variable>)

While loop:

while(<variable or number>)
CODE
endwhile

I/O:

<variable>=in # Reads <variable> as decimal integer
<variable>=inc # Reads <variable> as ASCII character
out(<variable or number>) # Outputs <variable> as decimal integer
outc(<variable or number>) # Outputs <variable> as ASCII character

String output shortcut:

print(STRING) # Without quotes
# For instance
print(Hello World!)

If statement:

if(<variable or number>)
CODE
endif

if(<variable or number>)
CODE1
else
CODE2
endif

Comparison:

lt(x,<number>) # Compares x and the variable or number, if x is less than the variable or number, set x to 1, otherwise 0
or
lt(x,<variable>)

eq(x,<number>) # Compares x and the variable or number, if x is equal to the variable or number, set x to 1, otherwise 0
or
eq(x,<variable>)

Macros:

macro $<name> # Macro with no arguments
CODE
endmacro

macro $<name>(<arg1>,<arg2>,...) # Macro with arguments
CODE
endmacro

$<name> # Using a macro with no arguments
$<name>(<arg1>,<arg2>,...) # Using a macro with arguments

Memory:

ptr(a,b) # Store address of a to variable b

Platform

BFFuck is in pure Python and therefore it supports any platform.

Constraints

Programs compiled from BFFuck needs you to have 8 bit cells that wrap.

Disadvantages

BFFuck currently has these disadvantages:

1. It's numbers are 8 bit numbers. You can choose 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit numbers using the byte keyword argument. But you need to run it on a 8-bit interpreter. REMEMBER: Using numbers with more bits is slower and increases the size of program largely!
2. It has some bugs.

The repository contains some examples, including a Hello World program, a cat program and an A+B program.
