Line 1: {{language\|Befunge}} '''Befunge''' is an esoteric programming language invented by Chris Pressey in 1993. It is unusual for having a two-dimensional toroidal code space. Commands are single characters., ~~The~~and the instruction pointer can move up, down, left, and right across the source. ~~The~~One ~~original~~of ~~specification~~the isoriginal ~~known~~goals asof ~~Befunge-93,~~the ~~which~~language was ~~later~~to ~~updated~~be ~~with~~as ~~additional~~hard ~~features~~to compile as ~~Befunge-98~~possible. ~~It has the variants [[Unefunge]] and [[Trefunge]]~~ In the latter part of the 90s, several attempts were made to extend the language, with mutually incompatible versions proposed in '96, '97 and '98. It was at this time that the idea of variant dimensions were introduced, with '''Unefunge''' (one-dimensional), '''Trefunge''' (three-dimensional) and '''Nefunge''' (''N''-dimensional) - the general language class then being refered to as a '''Funge'''. The '96 and '97 versions are now largely considered abandoned, and while '''Funge-98''' did gain a certain amount of traction, it has never been as widely adopted as the original '''Befunge-93'''. Being considerably more complex than the original, it is often deemed "too complicated" and sometimes even "too normal". ==See also== * [http://github.com/catseye/Befunge-93/blob/master/doc/Befunge-93.markdown Befunge-93 Specification] * [http://github.com/catseye/Funge-98/blob/master/doc/funge98.markdown Funge-98 Specification] * [[wp:Esoteric programming language#Funges\|Funges on Wikipedia]] * [[eso:Befunge\|Befunge on Esolangs]]
