Building a programming language, now possible?

My basic thoughts:

set variable to get location of [insert operator here] in [expression]
if variable = 0 then
broadcast [operator for next channel]
else
[operational word] character (variable - 1) of [expression] by character (variable + 1) of [expression]
repeat
22

What device do you think we could use for the calculator for a prototype? Maybe text so we can make it show the answer?

23

I guess weā€™ll use triggers for the blocks, a property to store the result, and text for both entering the expression and the result. As for how to enter the expression, thatā€™s a different story (maybe JSN plus a calculator menu?)

it is mathmatically impossible in this kind of situation due to algorithms and what goes into such tiny calculators in reality It may be possibleā€¦ sorta it would just have allotted choices put in

Overall, I think that is a good idea, but could you test it?

26

Yes, maybe text to display the answers.

27

Yes, triggers were what I was using already. I was thinking maybe just like a keyboard.

28

Keyboard could work though.

Hereā€™s my idea on how to make a keyboard thing.

The trigger will put out 1 pressed, which will cause it to broadcast on a channel and put it in the text box.

Of course itā€™s not the best, but maybe a base for something better? Iā€™m still trying to get used to coding,

what I am saying is, it is mathmatically impossible to make an algorithmic calculator you could maybe make Already allotted answers instead of a full on calc

31

Would take a lot of time with the already allotted answers, but will be possible if we try it :slight_smile:

it would just be hard and technically impossible since gimkit does not have that sort of code in it unless you inspect it

but it may work WE SHALL SEE

counter-efficiency No cheating with blocks

34

Seems pretty good, but there already are guides on this that we can use.

35

I donā€™t really understand thatā€¦maybe you donā€™t understand my overall idea.

36

What do you mean?

37

Building a programming language has always been possible- I wrote a brainduck interpreter a while ago, although it is currently broken since I started updating it and never finished.

38

Build math using counters.

39

Iā€™m happy to help
my block code is great
my written code could still use work

How have you proved this?
