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
ref(a,b) # Store value of address b to variable a
set(a,b) # Set value of address b to a (variable or integer literal)

Libraries

?libraryname

Includes the library library name (with file extension).

It first searches the library in current directory, and then in the stdlib directory in the package.

There are standard libraries for BFFuck, they are:

An example of the rng.bff library is here:

?rng.bff
x=0
while(1)
$rnd(x)
outc(x)
endwhile

Prints random bytes.

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! If you're using 32 bit, remember to use an extremely optimizing interpreter like bffsree!
  2. It has some bugs.

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