Can you help me think of problems for my programming language?
- by I can't tell you my name.
I've created an experimental toy programming language with a (now) working interpreter. It is turing-complete and has a pretty low-level instruction set.
Even if everything takes four to six times more code and time than in PHP, Python or Ruby I still love programming all kinds of things in it.
So I got the "basic" things that are written in many languages working:
Hello World
Input - Output
Countdowns (not as easy as you think as there are no loops)
Factorials
Array emulation
99 Bottles of Beer (simple, wrong inflection)
99 Bottles of Beer (canonical)
Conjatz conjecture
Quine (that was a fun one!)
Brainf*ck interpreter (To proof turing-completeness, made me happy)
So I implemented all of the above examples because:
They all used many different aspects of the language
They are pretty interesting
They don't take hours to write
Now my problem is: I've run out of ideas! I don't find any more examples of what problems I could solve using my language.
Do you have any programming problems which fit into some of the criteria above for me to work out?
