Ook!

Dialect of programming language Brainfuck

Ook! is a dialect of Brainfuck, in which one-character commands are replaced with combinations of “Ook” words pronounced with different intonation (“orangutan” language). Each command of original language is replaced with two words, and each word comes in three intonations: affirmative, interrogative or exclamatory. The words don’t require delimiters between them but they are usually written as a space-separated list.

Brainfuck commands are converted to corresponding Ook! commands using the following table:

  • + -> Ook. Ook.
  • - -> Ook! Ook!
  • > -> Ook. Ook?
  • < -> Ook? Ook.
  • [ -> Ook! Ook?
  • ] -> Ook? Ook!
  • . -> Ook! Ook.
  • , -> Ook. Ook!
