About

Current Version 1.1

WASD is a language inspired by brainfuck. It was designed to be programmed using only one hand, mainly the left hand (assuming a QWERTY keyboard.)

The file extension for all WASD files is .wasd

History

The original interpreter was created by Max00355 in 2012 in order to create a language that would be quick to program, and ultimately create a language that only required one hand to write (assuming a QWERTY keyboard.)

How To

WASD works the same way brainfuck works. A pointer is moved in an array of cells which are all set to 0. Each cell can be incremented or decremented by one, then output as an ASCII character.

Command Description
d Move the pointer to the right
a Move the pointer to the left
w Increment the cell the pointer is currently on by one
s Decrement the cell the pointer is currently on by one
e Output the data in the cell as an ASCII character
q Allow user input then assign the input to the cell
1 If pointer is set to 0 loop starts
2 End of loop
