The Sound of Code [video]
- dsyko 11y agoThis reminds me a lot of the sound of sorting algorithms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg
- DonaldFisk 11y agoFascinating. Some early computers, such as the Elliott 803, had a built-in loudspeaker which received a pulse every time a jump instruction was executed. This meant you could tell which part of the program was executing, or whether it was in an infinite loop, just by listening. See, and indeed listen to, http://www.survo.fi/demos/#ex88 http://www.survo.fi/demos/#ex88
- archimedespi 11y agoHah, had a lot of fun listening to those. Some of them sound a bit like some digital rf modes.
- homecoded 11y agoHere is a thing I built a while back: An 'HTML to 8-Bit-music' converter. This transforms a URL to a Bytebeat formula and uses the HTML of the page behind the URL as input. http://lazerbahn.com/soundof.html?url=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10182635 http://lazerbahn.com/soundof.html?url=https://news.ycombinat...
- ArekDymalski 11y agoThis is absolutely amazing. Are you planning to release it as open source? Does pull down menu for style mean that you are planning other styles? [imagine me jumping in excitement] :)
- homecoded 11y agoThanks!! Yes, I have planned a couple more. The code is not obfuscated, so you can have a look that them. It's heavily based on my audio-experiments which are open sourced here https://github.com/homecoded/js-synth https://github.com/homecoded/js-synth. I'll add the "sound of html" there, now that you mentioned it!
