LudumData

Brainstuck by Tesseract

[raw]
made by Tesseract for Ludum Dare 47 (COMPO)

You've spent all weekend writing horrible code, now you have to read some. https://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck#Language_overview may be helpful.

How to play:

The 4th, 5th and 6th numbers that you see should be editable once the program has reached the first '[' but before you press step or run. Sorry if that's not clear, I only tested this in firefox where arrows are visible.

There may also be problems on mobile devices - let me know.

Note: If you don't enjoy it, stop playing. I can easily imagine it's not for everyone.

Tools used:

  • tested in Firefox
  • atom (text editor)
  • nano (image editor :P, investigate the favicon)
  • sfxr (sound effect)

I can't figure out how to interact with this game.

Cool! More fun than I would have thought

That was hard, but could even be an educational way to learn to code! Hint: set everything to 0 to get past the first level. Indeed https://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck#Language_overview cheat sheet is essential.

Thanks, I hate it, but no seriously got me doing programming homework over here. Excellent work, I'm gonna imagine that was a pain to program. Still neat twist on the "stuck in a loop" concept. The only thing that I feel might help is that I was completely at a loss until I notice the controls when I moused over the pointer data. Pointing out that might make it easier to onboard people.

Quite cool, although as I mentioned before it was a bit difficult to figure out how the input works. I made it to this one before deciding I was done for now, I'm curious how close to the end this is:

+[[[-<+>]<<+>>]<<-[]>[->+<<++[<+<<<]>>>-[<<[<<<<<<]>>]>>]<]

@zachary-barbanell I'm glad you worked out how to play, thanks for the feedback. There are 2 more after that. You need to increase the speed quite a bit for that level; you can also find some hints in the source code (look for the `<script type="text/brainstuck">` tag).

I will get back to this one. My brain still needs something rather simple after last 48 hours :)
