Dumbascii is one of unusable for programming esoteric_programming_languages for outputting ASCII characters by incrementing and decrementing the accumulator.

Esolang Overview

Dumbascii uses .txt files and can output ASCII symbols. Commands:

Command	Description
A	Outputs the accumulator as an ASCII character
-	Decrements the accumulator by 1
+	Increments the accumulator by 1

All characters other than +-A are considered comments and ignored.

Why "Dumbascii" – name of the esolang?

Dumbascii has this name because it was developed by DumbEsolangsOrgUser and can output ASCII characters. Dumb + Ascii = Dumbascii

Implementations

Codes

Official interpreter (file reader, written in Python)

n = 0

filename = input("Enter the code file name: ")

try:
    with open(filename, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
        code = f.read()
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("Error: file not found.")
    break

for c in code:
    if c == "+":
        n += 1
    elif c == "-":
        n -= 1
    elif c == "A":
        print(chr(n), end="")

Official Interpreter (IDE, written in Python)

a = 0
code = input()
for character in code:
    if character == "A":
        print(chr(a), end="")
    if character == "+":
        a += 1
    if character == "-":
        a -= 1

Official interpreter (IDE, smaller, written in Python)

a = 0
for c in input():
    if c == "A": print(chr(a), end="")
    if c == "+": a += 1
    if c == "-": a -= 1

Hello, Vnqkc
