I used to love the playful nature of programming on the Commodore 64. I think it was the immediacy of the environment and the screen editor that made it feel that way.
Stuff like PICO-8 and TIC-80 are great and are _almost there_ in my opinion. If you took those and made their whole API available from their immediate modes, as well as make their immediate modes aware of the program you've typed in their code editors so you can call your program's defined functions from the immediate modes, I think you'd have something really special.
- bottlero_cket 4y agoYou can do all of that already from immediate mode in both pico 8 and tic 80.

The same applies for functions defined in my program, with the sample cart loaded: >tic unknown command: tic The same applies with brackets also.
