Flamencode is a very low-level joke programming language made with C# and it is based on the Brainfuck language. This language uses some of the typical expressions used in flamenco songs as the name of the operators.
Comments start from the '#' character and end at the line break.
| Flamencode | Brainfuck | Description |
|---|---|---|
| anda | > | Increment the data pointer (to point to the next cell to the right) |
| asi | < | Decrement the data pointer (to point to the next cell to the left) |
| ole | + | Increment (increase by one) the byte at the data pointer |
| arsa | - | Decrement (decrease by one) the byte at the data pointer |
| mira | . | Output the byte at the data pointer |
| toma | , | Accept one byte of input, storing its value in the byte at the data pointer |
| dale | [ | 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 arre command |
| arre | ] | 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 dale command |
In the Examples folder there are some sample implementations, example Hello World:
# Prints Hello World!
ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole # Set Cell 0 to 8
dale # Start loop
anda ole ole ole ole # Go to Cell 1 and set 4
dale # As the cell will be cleared by the loop
anda ole ole # Add 4*2 to Cell 2
anda ole ole ole # Add 4*3 to Cell 3
anda ole ole ole # Add 4*3 to Cell 4
anda ole # Add 4 to Cell 5
asi asi asi asi arsa # Decrement the loop counter in Cell 1
arre # Loop until Cell 1 is zero
anda ole # Add 1 to Cell 2
anda ole # Add 1 to Cell 3
anda arsa # Subtract 1 from Cell 4
anda anda ole # Add 1 to Cell 6
dale asi arre # Move back to the first zero cell you find; this will be Cell 1 which was cleared by the previous loop
asi arsa # Decrement the loop Counter in Cell 0
arre # Loop until Cell 0 is zero
# The result of this is:
# Cell No : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
# Contents: 0 0 72 104 88 32 8
# Pointer : ^
anda anda toma # Cell 2 has value 72 which is 'H'
anda arsa arsa arsa toma # Subtract 3 from Cell 3 to get 101 which is 'e'
ole ole ole ole ole ole ole toma toma # Likewise for 'll' from Cell 3
ole ole ole toma # Likewise for 'o' from Cell 3
anda anda toma # Cell 5 is 32 for the space
asi arsa toma # Subtract 1 from Cell 4 for 87 to give a 'W'
asi toma # Cell 3 was set to 'o' from the end of 'Hello'
ole ole ole toma # Cell 3 for 'r'
arsa arsa arsa arsa arsa arsa toma # Cell 3 for 'l'
arsa arsa arsa arsa arsa arsa arsa arsa toma # Cell 3 for 'd'
anda anda ole toma # Add 1 to Cell 5 gives us an exclamation point
anda ole ole toma # And finally a newline from Cell 6
To run a file code, you can download the executable corresponding to your operating system and type in the shell
flamencode.exe /myFolder/myCode.flam
Also there is a web editor.
