Obscure - The brand-new, Turing-Complete, easy to use programming language

A quine is a program that outputs its source code. A program that consists of log quine and outputs quine doesn't qualify.

A program that consists of quine and outputs quine does, since the program and the output are the same.

That'd be a very boring quine though

If you need any new features for it, I'll happily add them.
Can we have a statement called “quine” and it outputs “quine”. That would make it easy

there's no javascript inbuilt function to output fizzbuzz, you have to write it yourself
same goes for this

Plus, if blubby4 needs to make a quine using only one line then there's always HQ9+

I tried to talk more about quines but my post contains unsuitable language. Maybe I will reword it later, but I don't have enough time for that right now.

code not working, can you help plz

# Calculate pi.
# Based on https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Approximating_Pi
set pi to 4
set refresh to 1
while 1 = 1
  set refresh to {refresh} + 2
  set pi to {pi - 4 / refreshes}
  set refresh to {refresh} + 2
  set pi to {pi} + 4 / {refreshes}
  out {pi}
  delay 0.1
end

yeah, expressions don't support mathematical operations

this is wrong:

set one to 1
out {one + 1}

this is correct:

set one to 1
add {one} 1 as one
out {one}

you should use indexeddb/localforage rather than localstorage so you can store code with large data built into it as localstorage has a 5 mb limit

Feature suggestion: some way to color output text

ansi-style or just a specific selection of colors?

Be able to set the color of any given out or outl function to any arbitrary hex code (or, because this is implemented in JS and HTML, possibly anything CSS recognizes as a color)

Also being able to control either a DOM or similar (like the contents of an iframe) or draw things (as one can in JS using the Canvas API) would be nice.

HTMLElement.style.color

after taking a quick look at the source code, this is why the text is green in the first place

Partially the reason why errors clear screen; I made a mod where it doesn't clear the screen when it errors, and the out turned red.

2 minor bugs I found:

if foo > 0
end
end

gives the error
Error: Unknown command: end
instead of what you'd expect
Unexpected ‘end’ without matching block.

also,
if a
gives the rather cryptic error
TypeError: part.match(…) is null
seemingly originating from line 90

Should I make a github repo?
Hey, you know what would be nice
an extensions tab like Scratch, with community-built extensions over the Javascript interpreter
it would be fun to have sounds, canvases, heck–even the first Obscure website framework!!

2024 Contest Results (Tie?)
5 projects have been rated by Breakfast & Coffee

TOP OF THE LIST:

davidtheplatform created an awesome brainf interpreter

50_scratch_tabs created an awesome tic tac toe game
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/8122762/

I honestly cannot decide which project takes the crown, the brainf interpreter had so much effort put into it and it works flawlessly, while the tic tac toe game is really well made - a visual game without a canvas, simply using text. (they had to create a parser for the board that figures out what goes where)
Although the brainf interpreter probably actually took a lot longer and I think is the first working interpreter of a real programming language in Obscure. It's really impressive

I'll think about it, and I'll post the results tomorrow.
