06:41:44 <EgoBot> hi guys
06:42:12 <fizzie> Based on the name (...93) I would guess that ";" shouldn't work: it's not a command in befunge93. (It is in funge98, no idea about the intervening versions.)
06:44:42 <thematrixeatsyou> !funge93 >:#"052*'o'l'l'e'h>:#,_#"<
06:44:58 <thematrixeatsyou> does that work?
06:45:07 <thematrixeatsyou> cue the violins please
06:48:00 <fizzie> At least the one-shot string mode (') is not a befunge93 command either.
06:49:21 <fizzie> For an infinite loop something like  >_#"052*'o'l'l'e'h>:#,_#"<  would probably be better, since it empties the stack; otherwise the "..." part would keep pushing trash on the stack.
06:49:35 <fizzie> (But that needs the ' command.)
06:51:35 <fizzie> Although if you don't mind wrapping, it's much easier just to do something like
06:51:37 <fizzie> !funge93 0" olleh">:#,_

23:25:32 <ihope> Write me a Brainfuck interpreter in Unlambda and I'll turn it into an Ook interpreter :-P
23:26:27 <ihope> Now, if I'm not mistaken, it is easy for Unlambda to simulate Unlambda: just construct a tree with all your primitive thingies, then fold them into a function, which is your program.
23:27:00 <oerjanj> that's what i did in my unlambda self-interpreter, essentially
23:27:57 <ihope> And it's a proof that Unlambda can't be compiled into anything unlike it :-P
23:28:09 <oerjanj> that ook! program is wrong, Ook? Ook? is not a legal instruction
23:28:44 <ihope> But it's never executed.
23:29:01 <kipple> so, it's a comment then? :)
23:29:47 <ihope> I dunno. In the Haskell program "main = seq undefined (3+2)", is the (3+2) a comment?
23:29:48 <oerjanj> [-]+[]
23:30:46 * kipple goes to bed
23:30:49 <oerjanj> how unlike does it have to be? it combiled fine into Ocaml
23:31:09 <oerjanj> not particularly efficiently though
23:32:14 <oerjanj> hm, a brainfuck interpreter in Unlambda
23:32:35 <bsmntbombdood> In brainfuck, if I have a number in a cell, how can I move right that number of cells?
23:33:46 <ihope> bsmntbombdood: is it the traditional "data, junk, data, junk, data, junk..." tape layout thing?
23:33:57 <bsmntbombdood> sort of
23:34:14 <ihope> Can you afford to throw away the junk?
23:34:24 -!- Keymaker has joined.
23:34:39 <Keymaker> hey oerjan
23:34:47 <oerjanj> hi keymaker
23:34:52 <bsmntbombdood> a few cells, yes
23:35:14 <ihope> What do you mean?
23:35:17 <oerjanj> seen my cat example?
23:35:48 <Keymaker> nope yet :) i came to the channel right after reading something in logs that you wondered if i'm here :p
23:35:58 <Keymaker> i'll check it now
23:36:49 <bsmntbombdood> ihope: if the cells are like this "0 0 0 0 x 0 0 0 0...", how can I move x cells to the right?
23:37:00 <ihope> Ah, that makes it easy.
23:37:36 <ihope> [-[>+<-]>]
23:37:38 <ihope> I think.
23:38:07 <oerjanj> what if the only cell you can afford to throw away is the one containing x?
23:38:25 <ihope> Then it's probably impossible.
23:38:35 <ihope> That's why you should have throwaway cells.
23:39:12 <oerjanj> hm, you can't swap content of two cells without throwaway?
23:39:28 <ihope> Loops have to end on a zero.
23:39:29 <oerjanj> but with two throwaway cells it ought to work
23:39:43 <ihope> Oh, by the way, bsmntbombdood: do you want to leave that one x in place, or can it be zeroed?
23:39:54 <bsmntbombdood> it can be zeroed
23:40:09 <ihope> Okay, because the above will zero it.
23:40:41 <ihope> It turns 4 0 0 0 0 into 0 3 0 0 0 into 0 0 2 0 0 into 0 0 0 1 0 into 0 0 0 0 0, moving to the right each time.
23:40:56 <bsmntbombdood> yeah, that wont work
23:41:00 <oerjanj> if x and the cell to its right are expendable...
23:41:20 <ihope> It could go 4 0 0 0 0 -> 4 3 0 0 0 -> 4 0 2 0 0 -> 4 0 0 1 0 -> 4 0 0 0 0.
23:41:49 <ihope> Well, 4 0 0 0 0 -> 4 4 0 0 0 -> 4 3 0 0 0...
23:41:55 <bsmntbombdood> I need to keep the cells between x and the destination
23:42:14 <oerjanj> or x and the cell to its left, then?
23:42:17 <ihope> All of the cells between x and the destination, no matter what their values are?
23:42:30 <bsmntbombdood> ihope: yes
23:42:44 <Keymaker> perhaps something like this would help? [->[<<+>>-]<[>+<-]>] ?
23:42:56 <Keymaker> (if i got this problem correct :\)
23:42:59 <bsmntbombdood> ihope: a couple of cells close to x would be ok to throw away
23:43:07 <ihope> Then unless you know that the gap is less than a certain size, it's probably impossible.
23:43:25 <oerjanj> i think it is possible
23:43:29 <ihope> With some "disposable" cells every once in a while, it would be possible.
23:44:02 <ihope> Well, are these finite cells or infinite?
23:44:08 <oerjanj> first swap x and its neighbor with the neighbors two steps to the right
23:44:38 <oerjanj> (the neighbor is used for temporary storage)
23:45:18 <oerjanj> maybe just one step is simpler
23:46:03 <oerjanj> decrementing x, then you continue swapping, making sure to repair the left hand side as you go
23:46:18 <oerjanj> until x reaches 0, then finish clean up
23:50:12 <bsmntbombdood> Keymaker's works
23:51:16 <bsmntbombdood> I think
23:51:34 <Keymaker> notice that my code moves all the cells one left
23:51:40 <bsmntbombdood> yeah
23:52:36 -!- kipple has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
23:53:31 <bsmntbombdood> it moves the cells 2 left
23:54:15 <bsmntbombdood> anyway, I have to go
23:54:15 <Keymaker> ok :)
23:54:19 <Keymaker> ok
23:55:04 <Keymaker> yeah,two it is.. my brain isn't functioning
23:55:07 <Keymaker> ;P
23:57:58 * oerjanj is starting to think it _is_ impossible to do that easily
