Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is Spoon? (Definition)
Spoon is an esoteric programming language, entirely inspired by Brainfuck. Spoon is distinguished by a coding table using only the symbols 0 and 1 and based on Huffman encoding making the code more compact.
How to encrypt using Spoon code?
The Spoon programming language reuses the 8 operators of Brainf*ck but the instructions are in binary so as to make it even more obfuscated! Spoon also includes two additional instructions, DEBUG and EXIT, to facilitate debugging and stopping the program.
| Spoon | Brainfuck | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | increment +1 |
| 000 | - | décrement -1 |
| 010 | > | move right |
| 011 | < | move left |
| 00100 | [ | start loop |
| 0011 | ] | end loop |
| 001010 | . | output |
| 0010110 | , | input |
| 00101110 | debug | |
| 00101110 | exit |
Example: The Spoon program 11111111110010001010101110101111111010111111111101101101101100000110100100101111111111111001010010111111111111001010000001010001010000001010 corresponds to BF code ++++++++++[>+>+++>+++++++>++++++++++<<<<-]>>>+++++++++++++.>++++++++++++.-..-. and should output the 5 characters Spoon.
To learn how to code with Spoon programming language, the easiest way is to learn the basics of Brainfuck and manipulation of pointers.
dCode ignores DEBUG and EXIT instructions
How to decrypt Spoon code?
The Spoon cannot be exactly decoded, it can be run through an interpreter/compiler. The compiler will perform the requested instructions, and sometimes output something.
Each output byte will appear in the dCode console.
The contents of the memory is also displayed.
How to recognize Spoon coded text?
The message is binary, composed only of values 1, 000, 010, 011, 00100, 0011, 001010 and 0010110
It is possible to change the representations of 1 and 0 to different symbols.
Spoon ignores spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
