jibniz A javascript implementation of the IBNIZ VM 2017
repo license
flupe/jibniz MIT

jibniz is a javascript implementation of the IBNIZ virtual machine. IBNIZ is an esoteric stack-based programming language created by viznut, in which every instruction is one character long. The code is intended to be ran for each pixel on a 256x256 screen, at every frame --- making it possible to produce animations and interactive demos.

Limitations

  • Currently, this implementation does not support audio.
  • WebGL is used for color conversion only. Ideally I would like to get rid of it and find an exact integer only formula.
  • At some point I wanted to compile the entire IBNIZ programs to WASM, rather than build an interpreter. The problem is that IBNIZ programs are unstructured. the J instruction allows you to jump anywhere in the program. This makes WASM a poor target for the language.
