The Pi language is a public domain esoteric programming language idealized by Daniel Lopes Parra and invented by Marcelo Aires Caetano and Paulo Matias in 2006.

See here for a example of program written in Pi language: Hello_world_program_in_esoteric_languages#Pi

Pi is based on the brainfuck language and uses the same instructions as it. Pi works by calculating pi digits and introducing errors in some random digits of them, encoding obfuscated brainfuck instructions.

Instructions are encoded as below:

   '<' '>' '+' '-' '.' ',' '[' ']'
    0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8

But, as we need to identify which pi digits are incorrect, we move each instruction in the table one position to the right starting at the position that is initially over the correct pi digit that is where we are inserting the instruction.

For example, if the pi digit in the position we are inserting the instruction is 4, the table would be moved as follows:

   '<' '>' '+' '-'     '.' ',' '[' ']'
    0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8

Then the instruction would be converted to a digit that would be inserted replacing the correct digit.

A program written in Python for converting brainfuck programs to Pi programs and interpreting them is given as follows:
