**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.
