Beetle
Beetle is an esoteric programming language with a 2-dimensional array of cells inspired by Langton's Ant. It was created by k with the goal of being at least somewhat original.
Requirements
Each cell can be in 1 of 2 states : on or off. Beetle also has 2 external 8-bit variables that acts as input and outputs queues.
Commands
Beetle has the following commands :
| Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
| > | Moves the pointer (beetle) right by one and swap the cell it lands on. |
| v | Moves the pointer (beetle) down by one and swap the cell it lands on. |
| ^ | Moves the pointer (beetle) up by one and swap the cell it lands on. |
| < | Moves the pointer (beetle) left by one and swap the cell it lands on. |
| { | If the current cell the beetle is sitting on is off, skip every instruction until corresponding '}'. |
| } | Acts as a marker for the corresponding '{'. |
| @ | Flips the direction the program is currently being run. |
| ] | Prevents the next instruction from being ran if the program pointer is going right. |
| [ | Prevents the next instruction from being ran if the program pointer is going left. |
| , | Breaks from the current loop. |
| . | Restarts the current loop. |
| ( | Starts an unconditional brainfuck-style loop. |
| ) | Marks the end of a loop. |
| ' | Gets user input and deposits it into the input queue. |
| \ | Allows the next bit from the input queue into the current cell. |
| / | Deposits the current bit at the end of the output queue. |
| | | Outputs the output queue and clears it. |
