# bf
A very small Brainfuck interpreter
+
+To build, simply run make.
+
+Running the interpreter is simple:
+
+ $ ./bf input.bf
+
+The interpreter purposely does no error checking. If you don't specify an
+input file, it will crash. If there is an error reading the input file, it
+will crash.
+
+Program size is fixed at the same size as data space, which is controlled by
+`#define S`.

+[ This program prints "Hello World!" and a newline to the screen, its
+ length is 106 active command characters. [It is not the shortest.]
+
+ This loop is an "initial comment loop", a simple way of adding a comment
+ to a BF program such that you don't have to worry about any command
+ characters. Any ".", ",", "+", "-", "<" and ">" characters are simply
+ ignored, the "[" and "]" characters just have to be balanced. This
+ loop and the commands it contains are ignored because the current cell
+ defaults to a value of 0; the 0 value causes this loop to be skipped.
