Tritlik is an esolang by User:ChuckEsoteric08 created as a simplification of Dubbelweal which uses ternary digits (trits) as data.
Description
It has a right-infinite tape which is made out of trits. It has following instructions:
^- increment current cell, incrementing 2 overflows to 0.>- move tape pointer right.<- move tape pointer left.*- if current cell is 0 move in the same direction, if 1 turn 45 degrees clockwise, if 2 turn 90 degrees clockwise.
All other characters are ignored
Computational class
Tritlik is Turing-complete as it can simulate ternary Reversible Brainfuck:
>and<remain the same.+becomes^and-becomes^^.- A loop
abc[def]ghibecomes:
abc* * def * *ghi
|\ /| |\ /|
*+ \ / | | \ / +*
** *\ / | | \ /* **
* * / | | \ * *
* */ | | \* *
**/ | | \**
/ * * \
* *
* *
* *
This requires some adjustments for nested loops so that paths wouldn't collide.
