This is amazing.

I enjoyed your writing style. Thank you.

This is fantastic. I love the demo tunes. Runs pretty smooth too.

There's an issue for this: https://github.com/script-8/script-8.github.io/issues/41

Thank you for the kind words. I have no immediate plans for changing the palette, but you should open an issue here https://github.com/script-8/script-8.github.io.

Good idea. This would be useful for sure.

That's a fair point. SCRIPT-8 is inspired by many projects, and PICO-8 is definitely one of them. I'll make sure to add a note.

Thank you, and no issues, because I didn't implement any low-level programming. I use React/Redux and Canvas 2D, with some custom shape drawing to avoid antialiasing (e.g. Bresenham's algorithm).

They don't now, but that is coming. The "SHOW CASSETTE SIZE" button under the live-preview screen shows you the current size / compressed size. But it doesn't prevent you from making a huge cassette - not yet.

There are game-like demos:

Hello everybody, author here. I hope you enjoy my tiny project.

Regarding language, I chose Javascript for three reasons:

- the (ab)use of `eval` lets you do all sorts of sorcery, like instant evaluation

- the JS Redux library makes it easy to work with state, and I couldn't have implemented SCRIPT-8's time-traveling debugger without it

- I dream in Javascript

I love Lua's small footprint, and very early on I considered writing SCRIPT-8 in MoonScript, which compiles to Lua and has gorgeous syntax. Maybe some day.

And yes, my fantasy computer is definitely not the only open source project, there's several out there, and probably all of them are more stable than mine. Go check them out.

Very nice, this will come in handy. Beautiful site design too.

This Buzzfeed article corroborates your findings: http://www.buzzfeed.com/williamalden/zenefits-hr-rocket-ship...

Glad my benefits aren't handled by Zenefits.

Fixed!

Indeed - noted at https://github.com/gabrielflorit/water/issues/4. Do feel free to add more issues / requests at https://github.com/gabrielflorit/water/issues.

Glad you like it! Yep, several people complained about lack of alt support. Seems like a better choice overall.

Thanks everybody - didn't expect to make the HN front page! Still working out a couple issues.

And go watch Bret's talk if you haven't - a truly ingenious presentation! :)
