@drudgesentinel I was inspired by dolphin.town. So, I present for you: dolphin. A programming language that only uses the letter ‘e’ and a small quantity of punctuation.
Show threadBrendanNov 23, 2022

@drudgesentinel

Ee. Ee? = > : Move the pointer to the right
Ee? Ee. = < : Move the pointer to the left
Ee. Ee. = + : Increment the memory cell under the pointer
Ee! Ee! = - : Decrement the memory cell under the pointer
Ee! Ee. = . : Output the character signified by the cell at the pointer
Ee. Ee! = , : Input a character and store it in the cell at the pointer

Show threadBrendanNov 23, 2022

@drudgesentinel

Ee! Ee? = [ : Jump past the matching Ee? Ee! If the cell under the pointer is 0
Ee? Ee! = ] : Jump back to the matching Ee! Ee?
Ee? Ee? = N/a : Give the memory pointer a fish

Yes, it’s a trivial brainfuck substitution. But you can use as many ‘e’s as you want in any case before the punctuation.

@drudgesentinel you’re right, I could cut the encoding size by using two e’s and one symbol to encode one brainfuck character. It would still allow you to encode arbitrary programs in dolphin.town messages.
