BrainDead is an interpreter for the BrainFuck programming language, written in C, that can be run in interactive or non-interactive mode.
Overview
Usage
By default, the executable enters the interactive mode and interprets brainfuck code from stdin as you type.
Type "x", "X", "q" or "Q" to exit the interactive mode.
Type "x", "X", "q" or "Q" to exit the interactive mode.
If a target file is specified, the result will be displayed on the standard output.
Examples
-
Entering into interactive mode:
$ braindead -
Running a brainfuck script:
$ braindead path/to/file -
Running a brainfuck script by reading characters by characters, allocating only 2 stack cells at a time, and displaying debug informations:
$ braindead -drm 1 2 path/to/file -
Running a brainfuck script with input from a file instead of stdin:
$ braindead path/to/file < path/to/input/file
