EPIC BRAINFUCK

Motivation

Contrary to many other codebases, this repository is not just about writing yet

another Brainfuck compiler. Just search “brainfuck” on GitHub, and you’ll see

just how many people have already written compilers, and how many different languages

it has been written in. It’s incredible for a language so basic and rudimentary, how

much attention it has garnered over the years. Indeed, it is quite the brainteaser to

write stuff using only eight characters.

However, “brainteaser” is perhaps a euphemism for the language’s actual name, so I began

to think: how can I crank up the “brain-teasing” if you’d like and make this language even

more difficult to work with? The answer? Who said that > means ++ptr, where ptr points

to an “infinitely long” char array? Why can’t we use other characters to signify that? And who

said we needed to have concrete aliases for these bits of C code? This is where this

Brainfuck package deviates from most. Not only did I write an interpreter for

“traditional” Brainfuck code, but I also wrote several variants in which the syntax of

Brainfuck changes from interpretation to interpretation. Toss in some unexpected behaviors

(e.g. massive file write out of nowhere), and there you have it: EPIC Brainfuck shenanigans!
