Imagine a brainfuck, with the ram stripe visible, but said ram stripe is used by multiple users' brainfucks at the same time.

EDIT:
The thing is pretty much ready!

Just pushed, for I did some refactoring

I think that's done for step 2 (giving a GUI)
coral smelt
thats one of the coolest things ive seen when it moves

Now imagine this, but you also see other brainfuckers passing by
tawdry axle
exactly
My favorite is when you do a straight sequence of > (no bracket)
choo choo !
But the best part, by far, will be to write in it, and watch everything burn as 2 brainfuckers collide
but that's Step 4 or 5.
Step 3 will be to see other pointers and to directly affect the memory

The second one is a fake, but... I think I've got a base for adding the multiplayer part
The idea is that each player will host their own RAM, and each time they do something, they broadcast it to the others, who change their own RAM accordingly, essentially synchronizing each others
It might get unstable real quick if I'm not careful, I know
Also, it's at this point that I'll have to remove that reset button, since it clears the RAM... Which I don't want in this app

Someone has to ask this but what happens if there are conflicts?
A simple scenario would already be with two people A and B.
Let's assume there are three persons A, B and C.
A increments the first cell and broadcasts this to B and C.
B receives it immediately and updates accordingly.
C however has a slow connection and interprets his input before incrementing.
Now what if C used a conditional like [ or ] and their data pointer is on the first cell?
In that case we got a race condition.
On the other hand your program seems to be just as esoteric as Brainf*** itself and there is no practical use probably so you could just ignore this.
Interesting idea though. Keep up the great work!

Yes, I choose to ignore this for now
That is exactly why I say it might get unstable real quick
rn, I'm getting the communications to work
next step is linking the communication to the array of little pointers

that's username and colors

Here's how the test goes

updated the post

Brainfuck Multiplayer (POC)
old fractal
everybody gangsta till someone makes an OS in brainfuck
tawdry axle
I mean, if you allocated some adresses to graphics and sounds, you could have a working, usable computer
Heck, one of the 8 instructions is dedicated to reading memory and displaying it as text

everybody gansta until you can play ASII pong on an OS built in brainfuck
you think I could make a tool that helps humans read brainfuck easier?
or transpile C into brainfuck
wait. im gunna create a new thread in projects for this
tawdry axle
you go ahead and do that, then
viral crypt
How do you even think of ideas like these
tawdry axle
I don't think, they come by themselves
