anguish "\x2061" x 72 ~ "\x2063"; # prints "H"Anguish is a Brainfuck variant that uses invisible Unicode characters instead of traditional Brainfuck's ones.
Here's the mapping of Brainfuck operators to Anguish:
| > | [] | U+2060 WORD JOINER [Cf] |
| < | [] | U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE [Cf] |
| + | [] | U+2061 FUNCTION APPLICATION [Cf] |
| - | [] | U+2062 INVISIBLE TIMES [Cf] |
| . | [] | U+2063 INVISIBLE SEPARATOR [Cf] |
| , | [] | U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE [Cf] |
| [ | [] | U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER [Cf] |
| ] | [] | U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER [Cf] |
All other characters are silently ignored.
The meaning of original Brainfuck characters are as follows:
| > | increment the data pointer (to point to the next cell to the right). |
| < | decrement the data pointer (to point to the next cell to the left). |
| + | increment (increase by one) the byte at the data pointer. |
| - | decrement (decrease by one) the byte at the data pointer. |
| . | output the byte at the data pointer. |
| , | accept one byte of input, storing its value in the byte at the data pointer. |
| [ | if the byte at the data pointer is zero, then instead of moving the instruction pointer forward to the next command, jump it forward to the command after the matching ] command. |
| ] | if the byte at the data pointer is nonzero, then instead of moving the instruction pointer forward to the next command, jump it back to the command after the matching [ command. |
Takes a single positional argument: string of Anguish code to evaluate.
See examples directory of this distribution for example Anguish programs.
The U-FEFF character also serves as a file BOM, so avoid using it as the first character in your file.
