Title: Parsing files
Post by: AngelFish on January 23, 2011, 03:56:01 pm: How would one go about parsing a file in Axe? You'd clearly have to find the program's token in the VAT (Input?), but once you've found the pointer, how would you read the file itself? Would you simply treat it as a string and step through it or would you need to do something more difficult?

Yeah, Malbolge is one horribly painful programing language to write in. Why just last week, I was trying to write an operating system in it. lol, imagine writing an operating system where the asm code was Malbolge. That makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

Is that even possible? Also, make sure that it has to be encrypted based on the hash of the programs variables 323 steps into the program. If it doesn't do 323 steps, then they are modded. eg, if it only does 21 steps, then the 8th instruction is executed because 323 mod 21 = 8. So The encryption is based around the number 8 somehow.
