Hey there! I'm a big fan of your Herobook engine (I released "A Vine on a House" a couple of years back), and so when I saw your newest tool I got really excited!
I can see this being a nice little learning aid. It would be interesting to see users push the boundaries of this little tool to create fun art (think tixy). Can you think through other future applications such as animation support? I am not familiar with the language and so I'm not aware of what limitations it poses... but beautiful things do happen when the rules get stretched!
One last thing--I recommend that you add some sort of thumbnail to your tool page.
Hi ! I know your game (nice game btw) :)
By tixy I suppose you mean https://tixy.land/ ? I have an idea, I'm currently not using the , operator so I could run the whole script each frame of an animation and the , operator would set the current cell at the frame id (modulo 256) and that way you could make animations.
Or if I want someting more like tixy I could set it to give the 4 variables, one at a time and looping. There are many possibilities for animation when I think of it.
After that I think I could add more operators but I think I like the simplicity of brainfuck so I'm unsure I'll do that.
Thanks for you feedback. I don't know what picture could serve as a thumbnail but I'll think of it !
This is a really great concept! Two things would be nice: a list of challenges, and some buttons for each command at the bottom (for mobile users who don't want to search for special characters). I could see this being used for a game jam / code golf challenge.
Thanks for your feedback. I thought of adding buttons for each command but didn't implement it.
I'm not sure what types of challenges I could add. Do you have any suggestion or idea ?
For challenges, something like "Paint the whole screen blue", "Make black and red checkers"... with increasing difficulty.
