Haifuckqueue

• A stack-based esoteric programming language that is based on the haiku (wip)

Specifications of the language

General Info

• Lines must follow the following pattern 5 characters, 7 characters, 5 characters. This is the most important part.

  • A newline should be between each group of 3 lines (or stanza), and the interpreter/compiler may or may not enforce it

• Multiple argument input is supported. Arguments must be separated by null bytes

• All numbers and strings must be terminated on the same line.

• Values on the stack must be signed and at least 2 bytes. This implementation uses 2 bytes.

• The stack size remains constant throughout the entirety of the program

• Stack size should be adjustable easily in some way.

• THERE US NO NOOP INSTRUCTION

Operations

Operations	Arguments	Effects
.	Number	Go to that line number if the top of the stack is not 0.
+-*/&^o	None	Perform the corresponding operation on the top 2 items of the stack and set the third item on the stack to the result. Division is floor division.
~	None	Change the top of the stack's value to it's binary not.
|	Number	Set tos to that Number
$	Number	Print the top Number items on the stack as their character and pop them from the stack. NO NEWLINE.
d	Number	Print value of Numberth item of the stack as digits
c	Number	Print value of Numberth item of the stack as a character
s	Number	Swap the value of the top of the stack with the Numberth item on the stack
!	None	Sets every value on the stack to 0
#	None	Pops the top of the stack
)(	None	Increment/Decrement the top of the stack
a	None	Sets top of stack's value to the value of the next byte of the input
p	None	Push a zero on top of the stack

Strings

• {string}
  • Set the top len(string) items on the stack to be the values of the characters of the string.
  • Has to be terminated on the same line.

Varying constants based on state

• A
  • Total byte count of sys.argv, including null bytes. Can be used in place of Number
• @
  • Represents the number of non-zero items on the stack. Can be used in place of a Number

Commandline

• This implementation uses command line arguments for config
• To see the entire usage, run python3 main.py -h
• File extension should be .hfqbruh for files
• Usage python3 main.py [file] --args [input]
