Ook# .NET Compiler
Overview
Specially for orang-utans an Ook# .NET Compiler v1.0
has been developed. The syntax only contains one word, namely Ook,
but pronounced in different tones and emotions it can have a different
effect. Quite some effort went into making sure the word "monkey"
isn't mentioned anywhere in the sources.
Ook# is not for the faint of heart, so if you haven't progressed much
beyond basic banana-fetching you might want to try out learning
Brainf*ck first.
Any similarities with the Ook! programming language are purely
intended. For more information on Ook! see the original syntax
design at Ook!.

Sample programs
hello.ook : the obligatory Hello World! example
rev.ook : reads in a file and prints it out in reversed order
prime.ook : prints prime numbers
pi.ook : prints the number Pi
fib.ook : prints the Fibonacci numbers
quine.ook : prints itself (under construction)
Converting Ook! to Ook#
cat.ook : reads in an Ook! file and prints it out in Ook# format
(yeah, yeah, it looks the same, but it's all in the intonation ... )
Brainf*ck to Ook# converter
Brainf*ck to Ook# in Brainf*ck : if the Ook# language is a bit
hard for you to grasp, try the converter written in Brainf*ck.
Brainf*ck to Ook# in Ook# : Ooook! (English translation: or,
if you're an orang-utan, and you find the Brainf*ck sources a bit too brain f*cked as
only disturbed humans are able to create, try the converter written in Ook# which is
much simpler to understand).
Language Specification
An Ook# program uses a data structure that is an array of integer values,
initially all set to zero. It also has a pointer which initially points to the
beginning of the array. It has eight instructions, each represented by
apish expressions.
Ook. Ook? Increment the pointer
Ook? Ook. Decrement the pointer
Ook. Ook. Increment the value at the pointer
Ook! Ook! Decrement the value at the pointer
Ook! Ook. Write the value at the pointer to standard output
Ook. Ook! Read a value from standard input and store it at the pointer
Ook! Ook? If the value at the pointer is zero, jump past the matching Ook? Ook!
Ook? Ook! Jump to the matching Ook! Ook?

Coming soon is the book titled "Ook# for dummies".
