Orthogonal Easement Library

Fingerprint 0x4f525448 ('ORTH')

Under development.

The ORTH fingerprint is designed to ease transition between the Orthogonal programming language and Befunge-98 (or higher dimension Funges.) Even if transition from Orthogonal is not an issue, the ORTH library contains some potentially interesting instructions not in standard Funge-98.

After successfully loading ORTH, the instructions A, E, G, O, P, S, V, W, X, Y, and Z take on new semantics. The following table, which can be used to translate Orthogonal to Funge-98 and back, includes which Orthogonal instructions they emulate:
