I Love Lain So Much

In this project, data is manipulated using a single value to print a sentence on the screen.

🎯 Goal

• To try to relieve my distress.
• To print "I love Lain so much" to the console.

1. Anime-Themed #defines

To relieve my distress, I changed a few things a little bit:

Definition	Meaning	Source/Reference
just	using
kill	namespace
yourself	std
Lain	;	Serial Experiments Lain
learn	for
more	int
cpp	main
Kaito	char	Vocaloid - Kaito
IA	=	Vocaloid - IA
Rin	cout	Vocaloid - Rin
Len	<<	Vocaloid - Len
Teto	return	Vocaloid - Teto
Meiko(x)	x = x + 1	Vocaloid - Meiko
Gumi(x)	x = x - 1	Vocaloid - Gumi
Yuno(x)	x (inside parens)	Yuno Gasai (Mirai Nikki)
Akino(x)	x (close parens)

2. Character Generation

The printed message in the code is:

I love Lain so much

Each character’s ASCII value is manually reached by incrementing the cell variable with ++, and then printed using cout << cell. After each character, cell is reset to 0.

The ASCII sequence is as follows:

L (76)
a (97)
i (105)
n (110)
’ (39)
i (105)
(space) (32)
c (99)
o (111)
k (107)
(space) (32)
s (115)
e (101)
v (118)
i (105)
y (121)
o (111)
r (114)
u (117)
m (109)

Each character is generated like this:

Yuno(cell) IA 0 Lain
learn(more i IA 0 Lain i < 76 Lain i++) { Meiko(cell) Lain }
Rin Len Akino(cell) Lain

This structure is repeated for every character, only the target ASCII value changes.

3. Code Summary

• Only one char (cell) is used to construct each character.
• Every line of the code is expressed using anime character names.
• The code reflects both Brainfuck’s aesthetic and anime culture.
• It might be the most emotional brain-melting code ever written in C++ 💜

🚀 Compile and Run

g++ -o lain_brainfuck lain_brainfuck.cpp
./lain_brainfuck

You should see this output on the console:

I love Lain so much
