BrainScript

Brainscript is a variant of Brainfuck inspired by modern programming languages like JavaScript or C++. The interpreter is written in Python. This variant contains a function system allowing you to make function calls in your code.

Wait what's the point of this project?

Just for fun. It's just some side personal project I decided to make because yes.

Quick Start

First code

When your code starts, the interpreter will directly call the main function. Your code must look like this at the first place :

absolute:main {;
  add(97);
  print(10);
};

The following code prints the character 'a' 10 times.

Methods

Every Brainfuck instruction has their method in BrainScript.

BrainScript	Brainfuck
add(num);	+
sub(num);	-
right(num);	>
left(num);	<
print(num);	.
input();	,
!;	[
?;	]

The num in the methods is the amount of time that the instruction is gonna be repeated.

• add(5); will be +++++
• left(); will be <
• right(3); will be >>>

Functions

They will allow you to not repeat lines of code over and over. To make functions, you just simply have to do that :

absolute:AbsoluteFunction {;
  (code)
  To make a function called "absolute"
 };
 
 relative:RelativeFunction {;
  (code)
  To make a function called "relative"
};

The functions can be then called this way : FunctionName();

What is those relative/absolute stuff?

• When a function is called "relative", that means the function will start operating with the data pointer on it's current position.

• When a function is called "absolute", that means the function will start operating with the data pointer on the position 0

However, once the function called, the data pointer will get back at it's position when the function has been called.

Using it

1. Clone the repository
2. If it has been downloaded as ZIP, extract it
3. Write code in a file
4. Run main.py in a command prompt/terminal with the filename as command line argument

Is there examples?

Yes.
