Shinda Sakana (死んだ魚) means 'dead fish' in Japanese. It is an esoteric programming language created by User:TheCanon2. Shinda Sakana is a Deadfish variant. Shinda Sakana was succeeded by Sakana.
Commands
Like Deadfish, and like its successor Sakana, Shinda Sakana has a single accumulator, x. Shinda Sakana has five commands.
| Kanji | Term | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 増 | 増加 (zouka) | Increment x |
| 減 | 減少 (genshou) | Decrement x |
| 乗 | 二乗 (nijou) | Square x |
| 出 | 出力 (shutsuryoku) | Output x as number |
| 書 | 書く (kaku) | Output x as Unicode |
Like in Deadfish, x is set to 0 if x == -1 or x == 256.

Implementations
The following Python script is an interpreter.
prgm = input('>死んだ魚 ')
accumulator = 0
for inst in range(0, len(prgm)):
if prgm[inst] == "増":
accumulator += 1
elif prgm[inst] == "減":
accumulator -= 1
elif prgm[inst] == "乗":
accumulator **= 2
elif prgm[inst] == "出":
print(accumulator)
elif prgm[inst] == "書":
print(chr(accumulator))
else: print("Unrecognised command.")
if accumulator == -1 or accumulator == 256:
accumulator = 0
The following Python script converts a program from Deadfish to Shinda Sakana.
deadfish = input('>deadfish ')
shinda = [""]
for inst in range(0, len(deadfish)):
if deadfish[inst] == "i":
shinda.append("増")
elif deadfish[inst] == "d":
shinda.append("減")
elif deadfish[inst] == "s":
shinda.append("乗")
elif deadfish[inst] == "o":
shinda.append("出")
else: print("Unrecognised command.")
shinda = ''.join(shinda)
print(shinda)
