BrainFlash is an esolang that's basically brainfuck, but with colors. There is a 2x2 grid the commands go on, and every 4 commands, you go to the next 2x2. When done, connect them into an animation with as many frames as there are 2x2s. Alternatively, you can show it as a set of images.
| Color | Instruction | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Red | < | Pointer left. |
| Yellow | > | Pointer right. |
| Green | + | Add one to the current cell (mod 256) |
| Cyan | - | Subtract one from the current cell (mod 256) |
| Blue | , | Ask for input. |
| Magenta | . | Output the current cell in ASCII. |
| White | [ | Start while-not-0 loop. |
| Black | ] | End while-not-0 loop. |
I don't really need to explain that much, since it is a trivial brainfuck substitution. See brainfuck if you want to understand the syntax more. Okay? Okay.
