BF - A Brainfuck Interpreter

A Brainfuck Interpreter written in Python to help with easy execution and debugging* of brainfuck code. This interpreter is designed to have an incredibly lightweight profile.

* debugging tools have not yet been added

Installation for Linux

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install wget python ; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SuperArcherG/BF/master/bf.py && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SuperArcherG/BF/master/installBF.sh && sudo sh installBF.sh && rm installBF.sh bf.py

How to use

Once installed, you can just type bf in your command line to run the code. bf help will show you the proper usage, outputting Usage: python3 main.py <file_path> <cell_count> <output_type (0: Decimal, 1: Text)>

<file_path> Enter the file path of the script. The file extension doesn't matter but traditionally bf or b are used. The file needs to be a plain text UTF-8 file. <cell_count> Determines the amount of cells or memory to use. Most programs don't need that much, but traditionally the default is 30000, but default values have not been implemented yet. <output_type> Has two states, 0 and 1. 0 is decimal output, whereas the . function outputs the raw decimal value of the cell. 1 is text output, which I believe follows traditional ASCII.

If you have cloned the repo, there is a hello world script built-in Demos/HelloWorld.bf You can run it as follows:

bf Demos/HelloWorld.bf 100 1

I plan to implement more output types and an extended version of bf in the interpreter in the future.

Dev Notes

The program skips any non-recognized characters in the script, but weird characters can cause issues sometimes. The program is not capable of recognizing infinite loops yet and will continue indefinitely. Ctrl + c force stops the program The script is saved at /usr/local/bin/bf and a link is created to /usr/bin/bf
