I love a bit of brainfuck. I've been working on this interpreter for about a total of an hour, and it's already finished. It's fully functional, and interprets any brainfuck application.

The best part is, it's only 61 lines long! Interpreting the brainfuck code itself takes only 12 lines~ But I've added some more functionality to my application so that it can be called from the command line, and interpret at runtime. No translated code, no output files~ It simply executes the BF code.

I've added two commands to it:
BF-i -? will display a little bit about the program~ Who it was written by, which language it was written in, etc etc~

BF-i -i C:\file.bf will interpret the file located at C:\file.bf

Simple to use!

It's available to download here, including the MS executable, C++ source code, and a small about file.

I'll write up a tutorial on creating an interpreter soon.

Lastly, here is the code:
