What is it?

An utility for working with Brainfuck and related languages. It can encode and decode programs in various formats.

What works?

EVERYTHING! You can run Brainfuck programs and encode/decode Brainfuck code using Brainloller and Braincopter. Plus, given that Brainloller produces very small images, the utility features an image resizer.
