Not really sure how input would work. Maybe just give it the next thing they say if it's hanging on a ',' command.

mathiasbynens commented 11 years ago

Brainfuck programs get big really quickly. Aren't we gonna hit the IRC message length?

FireyFly commented 11 years ago

Doesn't matter; has brainfuck.

Really though, you can do enough interesting things in a single IRC-line of brainfuck for it to be a fun (although gimmicky) feature.

Hi chaps-

Doesn't matter; has brainfuck.

What about the inevitable infinite loops? +[]?

FireyFly commented 11 years ago

Re. infinite loops, just limit the execution to, say, 100 000 brainfuck instructions.

Not really sure how input would work.

IIRC what fungot (another IRC bot) does is to separate code and input by a '!'.

emberian commented 11 years ago

Separating code and input by a ! is something a bunch of things do, especially self-interpreters.

devyn commented 11 years ago

We already have multiline execution support:

|> +++[>
|>   ++++++++++
|> <]
bf> ++.

This works for all languages.

As for input, yes, ! seems the best way to go. I had forgotten about that.
