A few days before I left India, I started writing a brainfuck interpreter in bAdkOde. I finished implemented all the instructions, excepting for looping. I actually finished the code (and fixed all bugs) while I was in the air, flying from Dubai to Los Angeles. Emirates Airlines has power-plugs for your laptop on the seat….

bAdkOde is Turing Complete
In my previous post, I suggested that bAdkOde might be Turing Complete by writing a quine. One of the ways to actually prove Turing Completeness is to try and write an interpreter for another Turing-Complete language in bAdkOde. Another approach involves providing a direct translation from another Turing-Complete language into bAdkOde. Here, I prove the…
A bAdkOde quine (which suggests that bAdkOde is Turing Complete)
On the bAdkOde project page, I mentioned that I didn’t know whether bAdkOde is Turing Complete (although I suspected it). I also mentioned that if I was able to write a quine in bAdkOde, then it would probably mean that it is Turing Complete. I was able to write one after going through this excellent…
if-else in bAdkOde
I was talking to my CSE 200 (my first CS class at ASU) professor Richard Whitehouse about bAdkOde and he (rightly) pointed out that it didn’t have an explicit selection statement. He also said that unless I wanted it to be really ugly I’d need to have a selection statement. However, since I was going…
bAdkOde: An Esoteric Language
I’ve added another project to the projects page. It’s called bAdkOde, an interpreter for an esoteric language that I designed. The very first incarnation of bAdkOde was written in Java and I actually posted it (or made a blog entry about it) over 8 years ago. For some reason I took it down. Probably because…
New Interface and bAdkOde
I changed the interface again. No more frames! There actually two index files up now. The other one will run on IE only. Anyway, the big thing is that I put something new up. I put up my pet project – bAdkOde. It is an interpreter I am working on. It’s a VERY early beta…
