A few hours ago, an old friend of mine gave me a link to New Order which
contained a page explaining the programming language called "BrainFuck"
(because it may/can cause a headache, I guess).
The language itself is really easy and is much like Assembly in a way.
It's a real fun language to play around in.

Having read the page, I write two little programs (two exercises mentioned on
the page) to test if I could actually write something myself.

I first compiled the C source of the compiler, then created a little script to
automate compiling:
obfc $1.bf -nv -c $1.c && cc $1.c -o $1

And I created the two programs.

The first one was to write out my own name (I actually already did this before
I even saw the exercise).
The BF code:
>+++++[<+++++++++++++>-]<.++++++>++++[<++++++++>-]<.++.+++.+++.[-]++++++++++.
Which will write out: "Agilo"

Then the second one, to print out the ASCII table (notice I skip the first 32
characters on purpose):
>++++++++++<++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++[+.>.<]

This language is really awesome, in my mind.

I'll try and write some more programs as time progresses.


By the way, thanks Jort!
