Ringfuck is a brainfuck derivative whose memory is a stack of concentric rings.

Instructions

Command Description
> Turns the current ring one cell clockwise
< Turns the current ring one cell anticlockwise
( Moves the head inward one ring; ignored on ring 0
) Moves the head outward one ring, creating it if needed
* Turns every ring one cell clockwise
+ Increments the cell at twelve o'clock
- Decrements it
[ Jumps past the matching ] if that cell is 0
] Jumps back to the matching [ if it is not 0
. Outputs the cell as a character
, Reads one byte into the cell; 0 at end of input
: Outputs the cell as a decimal number
# Debug: dumps every ring and its angle
