katana.units.esoteric.pikalang — Pikalang

Pikalang esoteric decoder

This unit will map the Pikalang operations to their Brainfuck equivalant, and then pass along the actual execution to the Brainfuck unit’s evaluate_brainfuck function.

In the previous framework of Katana, this unit attempted to decode Pikalang in seemingly TWO different variations. One was a literal mapping to Brainfuck code, the other did something different that required much more code (https://github.com/joelsmithjohnson/pikachu-interpreter)

I have not translated that other code to use bytes, and I do not see the need to do so currently, considering how obscure Pikalang is to begin with.

class katana.units.esoteric.pikalang.Unit(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: katana.unit.PrintableDataUnit

GROUPS = ['esoteric', 'pikalang']

These are “tags” for a unit. Considering it is a Esoteric unit, “esoteric” is included, as well as the unit name “pikalang”.

PRIORITY = 40

Priority works with 0 being the highest priority, and 100 being the lowest priority. 50 is the default priorty. Has a slightly higher priority

evaluate(case: Any)

Evaluate the target. Run the target as Pikalang code and give the standard output results to Katana.

Parameters:case – A case returned by enumerate. For this unit, the enumerate function is not used. Returns:None. This function should not return any data.
