Most beauty per unit code
Share your favorite short programs that have beautiful output.
Any output modality, any programming language, any units.
Recording of output helpful but not required.
I think a program is more beautiful that doesn't generate identical output each time. But that's just my opinion.
My candidate is ~24 lines of LÖVE or equivalent. I'll share it a little later.
I suppose 10print is another candidate.
Boost at will.
Oh shucks, I broke the thread. My nomination: https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/115960021635895071
@akkartik Here's a small example using my #Forth-like DSL & livecoding REPL for 2D geometry generation with SVG export. The example source code is stored in the URL hash, but not sure how Mastodon handles it (let's try):
A commented alt-version of this example (same URL minus the hash fragment):
https://demo.thi.ng/umbrella/pointfree-geom/
Project/example homepage:
https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/examples/pointfree-geom/
Made with these packages:
- https://thi.ng/geom
- https://thi.ng/pointfree
- https://thi.ng/pointfree-lang
@akkartik Since #Forth is just so great for super concise code, allow me to add another example, here to transpile (a subset of) Forth into GLSL for livecoding shaders. This one is using my old 2015 CharlieVM and you can find all the example source snippets in the readme here:
https://github.com/thi-ng/charlie
The REPL itself live at:
https://forth.thi.ng/
The attached screen capture shows 4 shader examples (longest one is 12 lines of code)
