Version 2.25 - Silver Jubilee Edition
This is the reference distribution for the Befunge-93 programming language.
It contains the specification and reference implementation (bef), which
are direct descendants of the originals, along with a few related tools,
many example programs, and an assortment of historical documents.
Befunge-93 is an esoteric programming language where the program exists in a two-dimensional grid of cells, where each cell contains a single instruction, and execution can proceed in any cardinal direction across this grid -- not just left-to-right, but also right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and bottom-to-top.
For more information, see the Befunge-93 specification in the doc directory.
