manalang

wow this is manalang!!! its like brainfuck but with magical wizard powers lol (source: trust me bro)

what even is this??

manalang is like brainfuck but you need mana 2 do stuff. run out of mana and your program goes byebye!! so gud right?? programmer go brrrrr

how 2 install

git clone the-thingy
cd into-the-folder
rustc mana.rs

how 2 use

./mana <file> [mana]

• <file>: your program (duh)
• [mana]: how much magic juice you start with (100 if you're a lazy bum)

commands (so many buttons!!!)

magic	what it does	mana cost
+	make number bigger	2
-	make number smaller	2
>	move right cuz right is good	1
<	move left cuz sometimes left is ok too	1
.	spit out character (computer go beep boop)	1
,	eat character (nom nom)	1
[	skip if zero (boring)	free!
]	go back if not zero (wheeeee!)	also free!
r	recharge your wizard powers	takes time but free!
s<n>	sacrifice n mana (spooky)	literally costs what you type lol
p	how much mana left???	free cuz why not
*<n>	multiply cuz math is hard	3
/<n>	divide also cuz math	3

mana system (ooooooo magic)

• do stuff = lose mana
• no mana = program die
• r command make more mana appear like magic
• waiting is boring but you gotta wait for recharge

example programs (copy paste these they work maybe)

hello world

s72.s101.s108.s108.s111.s32.s87.s111.s114.s108.s100.s33.

this program just sacrifices mana to make letters appear. so wasteful smh why would you do that (run with 1097 initial mana)

for a better version use main.mana and run with 28 initial mana (my only testcase :3)

counter thing with magic refill

s10[p.r-]

this does:

1. sacrifice 10 mana cuz yolo
2. loop until zero
3. show mana, print letter, get more mana, make number smaller

errors (sad computer noises)

the program gets mad when:

• brackets dont match (][) like how hard is it???
• not enough magic juice
• you try to divide by zero (lol why would you do that)
• you type garbage numbers

random stuff

• numbers can go negative wooooo
• memory tape gets bigger if you need more space
• recharge time uses math nobody understands
