NAME Language::Befunge - a Befunge-98 interpreter. DESCRIPTION Enter the realm of topological languages! This module implements the Funge-98 specifications on a 2D field (also called Befunge). In particular, be aware that this is not a Trefunge implementation (3D). This Befunge-98 interpreters assumes the stack and Funge-Space cells of this implementation are 32 bits signed integers (I hope your os understand those integers). This means that the torus (or Cartesian Lahey-Space topology to be more precise) looks like the following: 32-bit Befunge-98 ================= ^ |-2,147,483,648 | | x <-----------+-----------> -2,147,483,648 | 2,147,483,647 | y|2,147,483,647 v This implementation is meant to work on unix-like systems, because this interpreters only handle the character which ordinal value is 10 (also known as \n) as an End-Of-Line chars. In particular, no warranty is made neither for Microsoft systems (\r\n) nor for Macs (\r). INSTALLATION To install this module type the following (you should be familiar with those instructions ;) ): perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES I decided to require at least perl v5.6 in order to have a clean programming style (use diagnostics, our, etc.). This module requires Storable in order to be a proper Concurrent Funge (or you can cut in the sources the relevant parts).
