Idk if this is even possible, I haven't put much thought into it, but one of you macro addicts(mainly revolution) should make a set of macros to use fasm as a compiler for a language other than asm. I imagine such a task would be much easier with a simple language like Brainfuck. Not that it would be useful at all, it would just be really cool.

By simple, I'm talking about the simplicity that makes it hard to understand, not that it is simple to understand.

Well doing things just because they might be really cool is a luxury for those with lots of spare time.

I can't see too much problem with a macro solution for brainfuck but I also don't have the time devote to doing just now.

However I do encourage others to try. Learning the macros takes nothing more than experience. Without doing it oneself, one cannot learn.

I'm trying to make the macros, the desired resulting code is pretty simple, it's just that fasm already has a defined meaning for all the symbols used in bf, do you know a way around this?

@lsa: Very inspiring thanks Also this is allot different from the original, why call it BF?

Coddy41: Is it different?
Its a long time since I created it but as far as I can remember i used 10 minutes with another intepreter and
then coded it while reading the original (well, I think it was) "specification".
The implementation may be somewhat different, since i never looked at others work.

The name is just a shortcut, no magic.

Great if it is inspiring.

Yeah bf only has 8 instructions to my knowledge, and you have 26 also in
bf you have to increase the data pointer to what ASCII character you want
and then place a period. Also look at the hello world example for bf

This may explain things:

More than one language with B....f... in it.
The thread title may be misleading.

Cool, another BF93 interpreter to add to my (huge) collection!

However, you should've mentioned that it was for NetBSD / OpenBSD only. Also, 41x25 is indeed a little odd (esp. since 80x25 should be default). The man page is also way way way too short. At the very least, it should mention Chris Pressey and all 26 instructions (plus 10 digits). Some more complex examples included in the package would be nice too. Oh, and "release/" for the program's dir is not useful.

P.S. Make sure to add a link at http://esolangs.org/wiki/Befunge !

(Please don't be offended, just some (very light) constructive criticism.)

Befunge forever!

rugxulo:
Fine feedback. In generel, criticism is the best feedback one can get, if it is constructive.
Yes the *BSD only is importent.
I will change some of the things you point out and upload the new (soon), just to make it more complete.
The 41x25 is in my opinion much easier to work with on terminals, not that i have ever done much work
with befunge but i found it so, at the time of writing the intepreter.

BTW, works fine in old NetBSD 3.1 "rescue-tiny" floppy.

P.S. I can't understand why 41x25 is easier, are you using GNU Screen or is that just the way your X11 setup is situated??
