I was bored in school one day, and when this happens I like to make personal projects.
Often these projects combine a skill I want to explore with an absurd "what if" idea.
Now I had no clue how codification in Snap worked at the time, and I thought it would be funny to add Brainf**k to a spinoff of a children's programming language.
I like to call the result "Brainf**k for babies".

I have a few problems for a project based on this but I'll save those for later posts.
Ah, yes. Brainf#ck. The "coding language that f#cks your brain".
If you don't know about Brainf#ck, it's a coding language that is supposed to be as simple as possible. And by simple, I mean that it has a simple compiler. But it has a hellhole of syntax and all that other stuff that makes it so hard to understand.
There's a very good video about it on Youtube. Here it is:
I know it’s amazing isn’t it.
Well.
It's (essentially) a Turing machine. So it can do anything- because of the nature of Turing machines, it's going to be complex.
I strongly recommend you watch this video: Math's Fundamental Flaw. It has a lot of really good info about Turing machines!
i actually modified the "hi mom" program from that video into "hello world"
