Iteractive editor to execute code written in BFF (Extending Brainfuck) and to show how it generates the output. BFF was defined in the paper Computational Life: How Well-formed, Self-replicating Programs Emerge from Simple Interaction to demonstrate the emergence of self-replicators.
With this interactive editor it is possible to see how a self-replicator works.
This is a screenshot of the interactive editor:
This animation shows the code (i.e. [[{.>]-] ]-]>.{[[) that is replicating itself:
