I can only recommend looking at all the Decker author's projects. He's done work on APL languages, GUIs, interactive programming, etc. https://beyondloom.com/things/index.html

A cool person making cool things!

The slippery slope game editor is pretty cool. https://beyondloom.com/tools/slipedit.html

You can click the link at the top to play the original game. It's a 5-10 minute adventure that I enjoyed, fwiw

It's both native and web-based. Web version: https://www.beyondloom.com/decker/tour.html

Click File -> Cards... to see how the guided tour is constructed.

Decker is one of the most insane codebases I've ever seen. It's almost entirely in one file in a very dense format:

I've read and written a lot of C over the decades but this borders on being an IOCCC entry...

Looks like "Whitney C" https://www.aplwiki.com/wiki/Whitney_C

tangentstorm• 23 days ago

Not even remotely. it's just plain vanilla C, with dense formatting. Whitney makes extensive use of macros to completely change the language.

On the other hand, while I completely agree about the C codebase, the Javascript is at least comprehensible. I've toyed around with adding a feature or two, and almost got there.

How is that anything but the work of a masochist. There are absolutely zero reasons to write code like this.
