Restrict Yourself

Source: https://internet-janitor.itch.io/bulb

Do you know CHIP-8? The interpreted programming language built by Joseph Weisbecker that first debuted in the COSMAC VIP? If so this one is for you. If not, this could become the new object of desire for leisure time, because CHIP-8 interpreters are available for all kinds of systems today. CHIP-8 is the VM of that era.

BULB on the other hand is a very tiny interpreted language created by the Internet-Janitor running on the CHIP-8 emulator.

Feel like playing around a bit? You can run the interpreter in the browser (of course) and you will discover a slightly different way of programming which … comes close to real functional languages.

Give it a try, but be careful, you can easily spend some hours ⏰.
