GLfunge98

Introduction

GLfunge98 aims to be the best Funge98/Befunge93 interpreter with an UI implemented with OpenGL. It is the only one I know, so it quite possibly even is the best one.

GLfunge98, when finished, will have support for Concurrent Funge, Trefunge, and full Funge98 command set, while still providing a Befunge93 compatibility mode for older programs. GLfunge98 will also provide lots of dynamically loadable extensions to the Befunge programmer.

Information about Befunge9x and Funge98 can be found from http://www.catseye.mb.ca/esoteric/befunge/.

Current status

GLfunge98 is currently in version 0.9.04, which is also the first public beta version. OpenGL-interface is still alpha-experimental and sucks. Sorry. Console mode works better, though.

Possible beta testers are encouraged to download GLfunge-0.9.04 and try it.

'Changes' file of GLfunge98-0.9.04

Current status

Newest version is GLfunge98-0.9.04.
Almost all of the Funge98 command set is implemented, only {, }, u (the stack stack manipulation commands) and l, h and m (Trefunge commands) are still missing. Implemented extensions: 'ROME', 'NULL', 'SOCK', 'SCKE' (my own extensions to SOCK), 'FPSP'.

Run mode works, debug mode also, and has single-stepping (if you modify the code to enable it :). OpenGL-interface exists, but is experimental. Doesn't work very well. Text mode is better. No editor yet.
