Easily compile brainfuck code right inside your machine
This compiler was written in Javascript to fit Node Standards
MIT License in effect
For now, we're only available on NPM
npm install node-bfi
Let's write a simple brainfuck program to print "Hi"
Brainfuck manipulates memory directly, and so, uses ASCII to display letters.
Capital H: 72
Lowercase i: 105
Now we are tasked with figuring out how to get numbers this high without having a long string of pluses,
and also
In brainfuck, you use pointers to select which memory slot to manipulate. These are:
For moving forward
For moving backward
To Log
To accept input
For adding 1 to the current memory slot
For removing 1 from the current memory slot
To initialise a loop
And finally
To close a loop.
Wrong.
Anyway, back to writing 'Hi'
Here, We can use the brainfuck code:
* = When pasting this, do not include these. When pasting this, remove this comment too.
You can paste everything except for this comment, the one before, and everything with a star
>++++++++++ Ok. So here we are adding 10 to the first memory slot
Now anything between those to greater than and less than signs is what we
will be multiplying 10 by
[-><] *
Lets add 7
for 70
[->*******<]> *
Wait, but now we only have 70 and we need 72! No biggie
lets add another 2
[->*******<]>++ *
Nice now we have 72
But wait; we arent logging this stuff!
No biggie again all we need to do is add a period to the end of that
[->*******<]>**.
Great! Now he have a capital H
Now for the lowercase i
remember that i was 105
lets multiply by 15
>+++++++++++++++
Great now for the loop
We can multiple by 7
[->+++++++<]>.
Thats it! Really. *Awesome, now we have the brainfuck code. Let's put it in a file named 'hi.bf'
It also must be
in a directory called 'bf'
Now Let's write this simple javascript program
const bfi = require('node-bfi')
bfi('hi.bf').then(console.log) //Output: HiRemember, this is promise based.
