[teal sparrow]

how did you made that?

[nova needle]

I coded it lol

[teal sparrow]

in what programming language?

[nova needle]

scratch

ThE BesT pRogrAmmiNGE LAnGErGe

[teal sparrow]

i thought bc of the weird scratch-looking clouds

but still cool

[nova needle]

scratch is great for like

[teal sparrow]

...nothing

[nova needle]

just throwing something together quickly

[teal sparrow]

maybe

[nova needle]

this took like 2 hours to make

[teal sparrow]

yes

okay

i think scratch would be cooler with oop

[nova needle]

true

[teal sparrow]

bc without, it is kindof useless

or what would be cool too: something like scratch but using kotlin or python code

[nova needle]

what I would love

is just scratch

but the code is lua

or python

or something

[teal sparrow]

lua???

thats like (almost) exactly like scratch

doesnt habve oop

whole point of using kotlin or python is to have a kindof okay oop

[nova needle]

well the only thing I really need from oop is the ability to have inline functions

and lua does that

[teal sparrow]

what the hell

i need classes and objects and instances....

[nova needle]

well you could just return those with a function

I mean python is objectively better than lua

but you can do a lot worse

[teal sparrow]

thats trash

[nova needle]

did you start programming with java?

[teal sparrow]

yes

no

i started with javascript

[nova needle]

I started with python

[teal sparrow]

then a bit php

then java

then java

[nova needle]

so that kind of explains how we approach programming differently

[teal sparrow]

and then i got to python

then i got into mod dev

and now i use kotlin

(i hated kotlin 2 weeks ago but now i love it)

it was weird somehow

[nova needle]

yknow sometimes you start learning a program

you feel like you're getting nowhere

and then one day it just

clicks

everything starts making intuitive sense

same thing with programming languages

[teal sparrow]

yes

but i used lua for open computer stuff and its weird

bc of its syntaxt

and its weird functions

and datatypes

and no oop

[nova needle]

also I was just looking at my youtube home page

my god scratch has changed since I started using it

[teal sparrow]

(yes i know that lua is theoretically 0.7% to 2% faster than python but it takes much more code to do simple stuff)

[nova needle]

well not anymore

python increased its performance a ton in the latest update

it's like 50% faster now

[teal sparrow]

nice

[teal sparrow]

the only reason why i still use python sometimes:

• it has many + easy string operations

compared to c++ its like completly different

[teal sparrow]

i know

[nova needle]

I find this hilarious btw

[teal sparrow]

(it has even more string stuff than kotlin)

[nova needle]

I love these stupid coding languages

like scratch is one of the most basic langs out there

[teal sparrow]

go to my github and click on SimpleScriptLanguage

[nova needle]

and here is griffpatch

coding doom

[teal sparrow]

https://github.com/SuperCraftAlex/SimpleScriptLanguage

(if you want to write 100 lines code to split a string)

[nova needle]

lmao

I made a basic interpreter

except it's not basic

it's closer to assembly

[teal sparrow]

actually its only 10 lines code

[nova needle]

but it has sprites and stuff

[teal sparrow]

like mine: SSL

[nova needle]

also it looks like a c64

[teal sparrow]

nice

[nova needle]

but hue shifted

[teal sparrow]

for that i began making Simple2d

but i stopped simple2d bc its useless

and its performance is worse than scratch

(a lot worse)

[nova needle]

my ocr program is uh

it's perfect

it can't be improved

[teal sparrow]

this code is made for SSL and it iterates trough the string and prints every char one by one

gentemp i1 s
var test sHallo,_das_ist_ein_test!

spaceify vtest s_ vtest
log vtest
sarrify vtest vtest
log vtest
iter vtest loop

end

:loop
grv _pass vtmp0
log vtmp0
ret

[nova needle]

my code is even more simple

[teal sparrow]

i tried to make every command 3 chars long

[nova needle]

it's like 001 set 001 001
002 set 002 002
003 add 002 001 001

003 print `001

you will get 3

[teal sparrow]

but mine is easier to understand

[nova needle]

it has 999 "memory addresses"

[teal sparrow]

i can just do

add i1 i2 vout
log vout

[nova needle]

yes but my coding language is stupid on purpose

which is my excuse

[teal sparrow]

so you are basically emulating a custom isa

[nova needle]

yeah

[teal sparrow]

mine too

[nova needle]

and there are seperate "sprite" addresses

so you could push a sprite say 1111 would be a 2x2 square

to sprite address 1

[teal sparrow]

cool but kindof limited

[nova needle]

and you get a square in the center of the screen

and you then send it's position

[teal sparrow]

is it made in python?

[nova needle]

it's made in scratch

for some reason

[teal sparrow]

lol

[nova needle]

most of my graphical stuff is made in scratch

because I hate existance

[teal sparrow]

i hate that there is no simple library that can ONLY draw pixels one by one or in lists (which works for windows AND linux)

because win32 api only works for windows...

[nova needle]

yeah

[teal sparrow]

i even made my own line drawing algorythm and so

but i used pygame to draw it

[nova needle]

uh I think I broke something

[teal sparrow]

that looks cool

[nova needle]

HOW AM I GETTING A SYNTAX ERROR

I AM TYPING

"RUN"

[teal sparrow]

lol

[nova needle]

also the code

oh

we don't talk about the code

oh no nononono

we leave the code forgotten

[teal sparrow]

how many bits does your cpu have

[teal sparrow]

oh my god

[nova needle]

I have installed an addon

[teal sparrow]

i have installed 10 addons

[nova needle]

to allow me to zoom out further than scratch normally allows

because that's the only way I can see my code

[teal sparrow]

in kotlin that would just be 5 lines code...

[nova needle]

yes, it is d u m

[teal sparrow]

how many bits does it have?

8?

and is it turing comple?

@nova needle

[nova needle]

it should be turing complete

I think

I mean it has basically everything you'd expect

== > < etc

no and yet

because I'm lazy

[teal sparrow]

and how many bits?

[nova needle]

I mean

it doesn't really have a number of bits

because I haven't really limited that yet

[teal sparrow]

lol

[nova needle]

64 bit retroness

truly peak programming

[teal sparrow]

you advertised it as 128k ram system.....
64bits * 1000 = 8 kb

[nova needle]

wellll

[teal sparrow]

or 64 kilobits

but not 128k.....

[nova needle]

I'm sure I'll do something at some point

it's not done

obv

[teal sparrow]

yes

[nova needle]

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/604468742/fullscreen/

btw I think this is one of the most fun games I've made using scratch

well

maybe not the most fun

but interesting

[teal sparrow]

nice but not easy to play

[nova needle]

yeah it's a little bit uh

hardd

lol

also I made a really cool version of pong

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/581853908/

with an "ai"

if you select two player mode and hold q+e

I bet you can't beat the player 2 ai

[teal sparrow]

nice but i dont like that the player movement feels so snappy

[nova needle]

it's a little too basic

I made this one what

damn 2 years ago

[teal sparrow]

then update it?

[nova needle]

I haven't really updated anything on my scratch profile in a while

but eh

I might

lol

[teal sparrow]

lol

[pearl plume]

LMAO

[lone parrot]

y'all ever see the explanation on how a missile knows where it is
