In Ouroboros, each line of the program represents a snake with its tail in its mouth. Control flow is accomplished by eating or regurgitating sections of tail, with a shared stack to synchronize between snakes.
Snake 1
i. reads a character from input and duplicates it. .91<\64>*32* pushes 32 if the character was an uppercase letter, 0 otherwise. +ing that to the character converts uppercase letters to lowercase while leaving lowercase letters and spaces unchanged. All this has been taking place on snake 1's stack, so we now push the value to the shared stack (m) for snake 2 to process. Finally, 1( eats the last character of snake 1's tail. Since that's where the instruction pointer is, the snake dies.
Snake 2
) has no effect the first time through. L!34* pushes 34 if the shared stack is empty, 0 otherwise. We then . dup and ( eat that many characters.
- If the shared stack was empty, this puts the end of the snake right after the
( we just executed. Therefore, control loops back to the beginning of the line, where ) regurgitates the characters we just ate (having previously pushed an extra copy of 34) and repeat the stack-length test.
- If the shared stack was not empty, no characters are eaten, ';' drops the extra
0, and execution continues:
Si switches to the shared stack and inputs another character. .1+!24* pushes 24 if that character was -1 / EOF, 0 otherwise. On EOF, ( swallows 24 characters--including the IP--and the snake dies. Otherwise, execution continues.
Y yanks a copy of the top of the shared stack (the character we just read) to snake 2's own stack for future use. Then .@@.@=@.@32-=\@+2* calculates whether the new character is equal to the first character or to the first character minus 32, pushing 2 if so and 0 if not. We . duplicate and ( eat that many characters:
- If the characters matched, we go straight back to the head of the snake, where
( regurgitates the 2 characters we just ate and execution proceeds with the next character.
- If not, we
yank the character back from snake 2's stack, output it, and then loop.
