Esoteric IDE

Esoteric IDE is an interpreter and debugger for some esoteric programming languages (or esolangs).

Features

• Allows you to run code in any supported esolang
• Allows you to set breakpoints
• Allows you to debug through code step by step
• Displays the execution state (program state) at every step (kinda like a watch window)
• In some esolangs, displays information about the instruction the cursor is on

Supported Languages

In chronological order of implementation in Esoteric IDE:

• Sclipting — Similar to GolfScript but using Chinese characters.
• Ziim — 2D language using only arrows (← ↑ → ↓ etc.).
• Brainfuck — The classic. Supports many different flavours, e.g. cells can be byte-size or arbitrary-size; output can be as numbers or as Unicode characters.
• Quipu — Inspired by the ancient Inca’s quipu system of recording information as knots in a thread, thus also known as talking knots.
• Unreadable — Consists only of apostrophe (') and double-quote (") characters.
• Mornington Crescent — Travel on the London Underground, but remember to always come back to Mornington Crescent.
• Hexagony — Program instructions and memory locations are laid out in a 2D hexagonal grid.
• Labyrinth — Two-dimensional stack-based language where the code can self-modify by applying cycling rotations of rows or columns of characters.
• Stack Cats — Reversible programming language in which every program must be a mirror image of itself.
• Whitespace — Only space, tab and newline are significant.
• Runic — Two-dimensional stack-based language with multiple instruction pointers, limited memory per pointer, and unicode modifier symbols.
• Ndim — Multidimensional language inspired by Befunge in which values you want to keep in memory must be written into the code space.

How to compile

You have several options:

• Clone and compile.
• Download the full source from the Releases page. This contains the source for Esoteric IDE, but not the git repo.
• If you just want compiled binaries of the newest commit (as opposed to the newest release), you can download those from the artifacts page on AppVeyor.
