About lci
lci is a LOLCODE interpreter written in C and is designed to be correct, portable, fast, and precisely documented:
- correct: lci has been tested to conform to the LOLCODE Specification 1.2 (and the Updated LOLCODE Specification 1.3 Proposal in the latest development release). Comprehensive unit tests come packaged with the lci source code.
- portable: lci complies with the widely-ported ANSI C specification, allowing it to compile on a broad range of systems.
- fast: Much effort has gone into producing efficient code whenever possible to the extent that the above points are not compromised.
- precisely documented: lci uses Doxygen to generate literate code documentation, browsable on this site.
The latest development release supports BUKKITs (i.e., arrays) which allows for some fun new programs, such as this BF interpreter written entirely in LOLCODE.
