   Thank you :) Yeah, I didn’t realize at the time that up-to-date emoji support wasn’t universal, even on the latest OS versions. The “extra” emoji are a result of your system not yet supporting some of the symbols used. I chose emoji more ca

   I think this is a bug. If the user goes back to the help page in the middle of their first try, they don’t get another try (but they’re supposed to get three tries).

   Thanks for bringing back these memories :) Writing BASIC on Cybiko might have been some of the first programming I ever did (predating owning a TI-83 Plus).

   Thanks for trying this out! That’s a good idea! For now, you can manually specify “ :#00000000” in the top section. One reason I’ve been using “.” as the background in my own PCEImages so far is so it’s easy to see that all the lines are th

   I’ve been working on something similar - embedding pixel art as ASCII with some JavaScript to render it as images: https://memalign.github.io/m/pceimage/index.html

    Thanks for making and sharing this! It’s awesome to see a dream fulfilled! I have a lot of fun making little JavaScript games like this and recently made a way to create sprites using ASCII[0] inline with the code. I call these “pixel-chara

    Thanks for trying this out! In JavaScript, you can create a PCEImage object (source for that object is here[0]) with an image string and then use the drawInCanvas method. For now, I haven’t written a PCEImage implementation in any other lan

    Hi HN! This has been a fun side project to create a way to embed sprites in code as ASCII art. After defining a simple image encoding (PCEImage[0]), I ended up making this editor and adding a wobble animation effect (inspired by zep’s Wobbl

    I got a Tetris too but the quote restarted as soon as it happened. I think this might be what they meant by “without Tetris”. Based on the high level description of how this works, I bet the code for handling a Tetris is masked out and acce

    Desmos (the graphing calculator tool used by the author) is really great! One thing that’s inconvenient about it is not being able to copy/paste formulas in. I ended up making my own graphing calculator web app to make drawing with mat

    Thank you! Twine[0] lets you make branching stories and those games usually show the choices as hyperlinks. The ones I’ve played are more like Choose Your Own Adventure books than Zork, though. I’m no expert but every IF game with a map and
