Help/Support Working with Malbolge

Goggwell · January 16, 2015

Hey guys, I really need some help with this one.

So I've been given the challenge of learning at least 5 different programming/coding languages that are relatively unknown and hard.

So far, I've completed 2:

BEFUNGE - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Befunge

and

LOLCODE - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE

The challenge was to write out at least 1 sentence containing 6 words using the 5 languages.

It took quite a while to complete Befunge, and LOLCODE wasn't much different.

But this next one really has me tangled up.

MALBOLGE - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge

This esoteric programming language is named after 'Malebolge', which means the Eighth Circle of Hell.

Apparently, it's so hard that algorithms had to be created to write code in Malbolge. I just need to write down 6 words. But I think that's going to be quite impossible, unless someone knows how to program in this language.

Does anyone know how to do this?

PS: If you're wondering what the last 2 languages will be, I'm considering Ook and Piet, although Rocket could be a bit of a challenge.

Malbolge was specifically designed to be nearly impossible to program in. It builds on the difficulty of earlier, challenging esolangs (such as Brainf**k and Befunge), but takes this aspect to the extreme, playing on the entangled histories of computer science and encryption. Weaknesses in the design have been found that make it possible (though still very difficult) to write useful Malbolge programs.
