I Just Had Surgery, and I'm Looking for a Project

[zb0S216C]

As the title says, I just had surgery less than 24 hours ago, and now I'm looking for a fun programming project to pass the time. I was thinking of something along the lines of a simple script parser, but I was looking for other suggestions, too.

Thanks :)

P.S. Please, not heavy duty projects, as the anaesthetic has worn off yet.

Lisp interpreter! Not a heavy project with right approach.

I'm working on one in my free time. Unfortunately I have very little free time recently, so it goes slowly...

[zb0S216C]

Hmmmm... An interesting project. I'll definitely look into it!

Thanks for the suggestion, Abramus :)

How about an optimising brainfuck compiler? Bonus points if it's self-hosting and written in brainfuck.

@chrisname: I want to be healthy again, not brain-damaged :) I'll look into it, though :)

It wouldn't be that difficult, since brainfuck is only 8 instructions. The simplest thing to do would be to unroll loops and then just get rid of as many instructions as possible while still having the same behaviour.

You have a point. I'll give it a try :)

Thanks, chrisname :)
