brainfuck
Created by Urban Müller in 1993. The language is Turing-complete, but has an extremely minimal instruction set, no variables or functions, and extremely limited utility all around. Designed to have the smallest possible compiler.

Tools
The interpreter we'll use for Brainfuck is called Beef.
Everything you need is already installed on CS department lab machines
in the /courses/roche/413/bin folder, which should be in your
PATH.
To install on your virtual machine, follow these steps:
-
Run
sudo apt install -y beef
How I will run your code
The programs you submit should be in a single file
called proj.bf, for either part of the project.
I will test your code by running the following commands
using the software available in the lab environment or using the instructions
above:
beef proj.bf
Phase 1 Requirements
For this language, you need to implement modifications A and D. See the Phase 1 page for details on what this means.
Phase 2
See the Phase 2 Page for the list of suggested
problems. Of the ones listed, I recommend the following as being most
well-suited for Brainfuck:
- Compiler
- Matrix Calculator
- Rock, Paper, Scissors
- ??? (you choose!)
