Description	This is another interesting addition to the new development environments now available in this year's competition. Read this Wikipedia page to learn more about the fascinating Brainf*ck language. I have purposely screen grabbed the beginning of the BASIC listing of this entry because as can clearly be seen, the Brainf*ck source is embedded in a REM statement in line 10. This means that theoretically, someone could use this entry to actually submit a game written in Brainf*ck to the CSSCGC competition. Again, I won't spoil the fun of showing what the program does, so again you can download it or run it from the arcade. Of course this assumes that you aren't a Brainf*uck guru who can work it out just by looking at the source!
Comments	I like this title and I have to say that the score could have been much higher had the author written a crap game in brainf*ck and submitted that. This - I would have really liked to see! I've long had a passing interest in Brainf*ck and similar esoteric computer languages whose only purpose is intellectual mischief and basically wasting time and resources. It would have been great to see someone take up the challenge of entering further BF programs into the CGC and this is also what I really hoped for. However, since I get a migraine attack anytime I try to author/debug BF code, I can quite understand why no-one else tried it either. Was glad to have this in the compo though!
