## Befunge (#184)

Since next week is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S., and
since I will be away visiting family, this quiz has a duration of two
weeks. It will be summarized on/about Thurs, December 4th.

Your task for these two weeks is to write a [Befunge-93][1]
interpreter. Befunge-93 is an esoteric programming language created by
Chris Pressey. Its features:

* two-dimensional program space (i.e. 80x25 ASCII grid)
* a program counter capable of moving through the program in four
directions
* an integer stack for performing RPN-type calculations
* can be self-modifying

Basically, the program counter (PC) starts in the upper-left cell of
the program, initially moving to the right. At each cell, the command
(i.e. a single character) in that cell is executed. Some commands can
change the PC's direction of movement; some commands put values on the
stack or operate on the stack, and a few commands accept input or
print output.

The [specification][2], at the bottom, contains a summary of commands.
Note that the digits 0-9, not mentioned in the table of command but
mentioned earlier in the spec, push themselves onto the stack. To get
other values on the stack, you have a couple options. Mathematical
operations is one way:

562**5+

Assuming the PC is moving right and starting at the left side, this
will leave 65 on the stack. Another way is stringmode, initiated and
terminated by quotes. The following also puts 65 on the stack:

"A"

At the [Befunge-93 examples page][3], there are plenty of sample
programs for you to test, documented with the program's intent. Some
programs were re-written by various developers in an attempt to shrink
programs as much as possible. In particular, the "rand" series
(generate a random number from 1 to 16) went through 16 revisions,
going from 144 cells (12x12) to a mere 16 cells (16x1). My own
submission was king for barely an hour, and looked like this:
vv # <
14 >0^
+*v?1^
+ >2^p
. > 3^1
@>"<"1^

Some of the most interesting (i.e. insane) Befunge programs include
life.bf, mandel.bf, pi2.bf, and wumpus.bf.

Hopefully the quiz isn't intimidating... It's a fairly simple language
to implement. It took me about 30 minutes to get a simple,
straightforward version working (my submission, shown below), and I
may do some revisions later to try shrinking the code and making it
more Ruby-ish. (Also to handle some conditions not currently handled
well...) I mostly want to revise the run and step methods to be less
case-y.

Feel free to steal this and make it better, or just to look at to get
an idea of how to implement your own.

Hopefully the quiz isn't intimidating...
No but the debugger is so much work, and without the debugger there is
nothing my code does more than your's ;), but I have two weeks to
finish it ;)
I guess you have some small typos here
when ?.
puts pop I guess this has to go
when ?.
print pop
shouldn't there be a space printed too?
when ?~
print "chr?> "
push gets[0] # Ruby 1.8, maybe not 1.9?
x=3D gets
push( x.bytes.first rescue x[0] )
when :north
@pc[0] =3D (@pc[0] - 1 + @hgt) % @hgt
I guess the + @hgt is a nop but ok it makes the reader more
comfortable with the code :), OTOH it took me
some time to work it's purpose out.

I tend to do (-1 + h) % h when I don't recall a language's particular
rules for dealing with negative mod.

In other words, if I don't know that (0-1)%h is safe, I do know that
(0-1+h)%h is safe and gets me what I want.

Seems like this program is:

1 1 + 2 3 + - .

Which seems to be -3, not 3. I think you have your args out of
order. Look at how the non-commutative ops are defined.

Yeah, that would be part of the entirely untested stuff ;-)

%w{ + * }.each do |o|
define_method :"#{o}" do
a, b = @stack.pop, @stack.pop
@stack.push a.send:)"#{o}", b)
end
end
%w{ - / }.each do |o|
define_method :"#{o}" do
b, a = @stack.pop, @stack.pop
@stack.push a.send:)"#{o}", b)
end
end

or, maybe some would prefer:
%w{ - / }.each do |o|
define_method :"#{o}" do
a, b = @stack.pop, @stack.pop
@stack.push b.send:)"#{o}", a)
end

%w{ - / }.each do |o|
define_method :"#{o}" do
b, a = @stack.pop, @stack.pop
@stack.push a.send:)"#{o}", b)
end

If you're going to fix the arg order of - and /, why wouldn't you do
the same for + and *?

Popping b first, then a, isn't a workaround; it's the correct method
according to spec. Why make + and * an exception to that?

Oops, yeah, handling . twice.
shouldn't there be a space printed too?

No. The following code (I think) outputs a null-terminated string
(view with monospace font):

0"elloH"#v _@

You wouldn't want spaces between every character.

Because I never read the spec? :)

But, yeah, plus it would be much nicer to do them all at once (and

Hi,

This post has not much to do with a solution of the current QUIZ, but some
ideas about extensions to the QUIZ, so feel free to stop reading (and sorry
for bothering you).

My current solution looks almost the same as the others, so it's not so
interesting. But the QUIZ inspired me to another funny problem: Try to
generate Befunge-code automatically:

An easy observation is, that one can split up Befunge-code into some linear
pieces. Each piece of code is then connected to up to two following pieces
(by a '|' or '_', I don't look at random-jumps here). So the problem is
the following: given some linear pieces of codes and knowing their
connections, write a program that arranges those pieces in the 80x25 (or
whatever) lattice and add the right commands to realize the required
connections. For example, assume a program that reads to variables and
prints the greater one. The linear pieces are:

&:01p&:11p` ... INPUT X,Y and TEST
01g.@ ... PRINT X
11g.@ ... PRINT Y

so you have 3 pieces, and two connection (one from the first to second and
one from the first to the third, depending on the topmost value on the
stack).

A very simple approach is to put each piece in one line, leave some lines
empty and use that empty lines to connect the pieces. My implementation of
this approach is attached to this message. The example above would
generate the following code (without the '#'):
###################
#v > v #
#> &:01p&:11p`|> #
# > v#
# #
# 01g.@ > #
# #
# #
# 11g.@ >#
###################

The attached program includes the euclidian algorithm as a second example,
i.e. the program generates a Befunge-program that reads two numbers and
computes the gcd.

I can imagine two interesting tasks:

1. write some simple high-level-language that can be compiled to linear
pieces of code with the correct connections. Together with my example one
could create a language-to-Befunge compiler (i.e. using Befunge
as 'assembly'). The language should support conditionals (IF, THEN, ELSE)
and loops (WHILE), and perhaps, if you're really good, subroutines (the
latter would be more challenging, I think).

2. write better arrangements of the code-pieces. In my implementation much
space is wasted. Remember, linear pieces do not need to be in one line,
the may contain turns or jumps or whatever. So one can ask
a. how to generate very compact code
b. how to generate code with a visually nice layout (think of a program
computing Pi whose code looks like a Pi :))
c. ...

These are just a view thoughts about extensions to the nice QUIZ.

Bye,
Frank

For those who want to play around I have extended Matthew's code with
some enhancements to allow
1) dynamically add lines with p
2) dump memory and stack -->nstruction ?d
3) show the stack --> ?s
4) Halt execution until <Enter> is pressed --> ?h
5) Enabled comment mode with ?= thus = this is ignored = to make
programs (even LOL) more readable

I found it quite helpful for debugging my Befunge programs
here it is, but the credit goes to Matthew of course.

## Befunge (#184)
Your task for these two weeks is to write a [Befunge-93][1] interpreter.

My program follows. I tried to make it as self-documenting as
possible. It's supposed to be a complete implementation, but it
crashes on life.bf, so I think I'm missing something. I created a
rudimentary debugger to help figure it out - start it with `ruby -d
befunge.rb progfile`. Unfortunately I couldn't track it down.

For those who want to play around I have extended Matthew's code with
some enhancements to allow
2) dump memory and stack -->nstruction ?d
3) show the stack --> ?s
5) Enabled comment mode with ?= thus = this is ignored = to make
programs (even LOL) more readable

Cool, I took a quick run at adding these couple of extensions to my
previous submission:

class Befunge93Extended < Befunge93
define_method :"=" do
move
move until @memory[@position] == "="
end

define_method :"d" do
puts
25.times do |a|
80.times do |b|
print @memory[[b,a]].to_s
end
puts
end
s
end

define_method :"s" do
puts
puts "[#{@stack.join(":")}]"
end
end

bf = Befunge93Extended.new

bf.memory = {
[0,0] => "d", [1,0] => "v", [2,0] => " ", [3,0] => " ", [4,0] => " ",
[0,1] => " ", [1,1] => "1", [2,1] => " ", [3,1] => " ", [4,1] => " ",
[0,2] => " ", [1,2] => "2", [2,2] => " ", [3,2] => " ", [4,2] => " ",

[0,6] => ">", [1,6] => "@", [2,6] => "#", [3,6] => "<", [4,6] => " ",

Here is my solution. It's not a revolutionary implementation, but I
had an emphasis on readability and testing. I believe it correctly
runs all the example programs from the Befunge-93 site that the C
reference implementation does.

While debugging I had a "C interpreter mode" which did a few things
slightly differently such as division and mod with negative numbers to
match the behaviour of the reference implementation. I eventually
removed it for clarity since it didn't gain much, other than
accounting for those differences.

For example, the following program will output -1 when run with the C
implementation and -2 with a standard Ruby implementation. Solutions
to Ruby Quiz #85 have some methods which provide C-like division and
mod.

3-2/.@

I couldn't find a simple solution for single character input, so it
goes without. Thus for programs like namegame.bf you have to hit enter
between each character.

Spec file is below the source. Thanks for the interesting quiz.
