I've been trying to make a quine, but I've run into some problems. Here's a list of what I think should be added:

• Escaping brackets like \{ and \}
  
• Variable concatenation (concat <value1> <value2> as <variable>)
  
• Outputting without a new line (outl, maybe?)
  
• Functions
  

Added the first 3,
the functions will be a bit more tricky because currently, all blocks cannot be nested, so i'd focus on that before adding anything new
https://obscure.glitch.me/docs

TBH, I had a brain fart and didn't realise you could concatenate variables like that. It might make it simpler if you removed concatenation, because it can be accomplished with

set variable as {foo}{bar}

Edit: also, outl doesn't output anything if it's the first out instruction!

Edit again: I just had a terrible idea, what if you could use braces to set the name of a variable being assigned as the contents of the variable. That was a terrible explanation, so here is some code:

set var1 as foo
set {var1} as bar // equivalent to set foo as bar

out {foo} // outputs bar

Which then led me onto another suggestion: comments pls

Error: Invalid variable assignment: set {var1} as bar

lol
also thanks for the bug report
ill remove the join function too

That's the suggestion, make it valid, so it sets/creates a variable with the name of what's stored in the {}

That's the suggestion, make it valid, so it sets/creates a variable with the name of what's stored in the {}. And you can create lists

it'd be really really hard to fix the bugs in the expression parser after that
also
comments exist
just not after a line
only on newlines
# hello

set foo as bar
set {foo} as hello
out bar
# outputs hello

1. move to the line:
set {foo} as hello
2. replace variables with their values:
set {foo} as hello -> set bar as hello
3. evaluate line

yeah, they will be added in about, give or take, 5 minutes

array a b c d as alphabet

out The 3rd letter of the alphabet is {alphabet:3}!

^ i just quickly coded an array function and updated the expression parser, there are still many features to add such as concat, index, reverse, join, etc.
but i will add those tomorrow as it's getting kinda late

lmk if u have any other suggestions, and don't forget about the contest!!

add [] to [list v]

Try it out: https://obscure.glitch.me/
I want to see what fun stuff y'all come up with

Obscure is a brand new programming language that I created
It's currently still in development, but works for the most part

To try it out:
1. Enter the website, you will see 3 sample projects

2. Open any project or create a new one to try it out

3. In the editor, you can click “Run” to run the project

4. You can also hit “Save” to save it, every project is stored
in your browser and will be there when you enter the page again

5. The full guide that shows all functions & their explanation is
on the navigation bar, called the Documentation

Please share on this topic any fun games or apps you make!

you don't?

maybe you should add that
