Actually Steve Hanov's implementation which we're using does have canvas support. You can find it at http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=92 . We stripped the graphical parts sin…

Really hard to say. We started experimenting with the idea back in March, but didn't start putting fulltime nights into it until August. I'd say a little over a thousand man-hours …

The prompt label is an image, hence it's not copyable. We experimented a bit with various copy-friendly approaches, but couldn't find anything that was cross-browser and did not da…

Currently you can save a replayable session and get a unique link, but this is public. We do have plans to remember history locally (either just as command history or a full-blown …

If it uses a JIT internally, it will produce x86 machine code, which is meaningless to us since we aren't emulating the whole machine. If it doesn't, then emscripting it should wor…

To add to this, each language has an about link and an engine link (shown at the bottom when you select a language). These will take you to a page describing the language and the i…

Thanks for trying it out. * The ^W is fixable, but I'm not sure how I personally feel about hijacking fundamental browser shortcuts. We'll look into it though. * Regarding the envi…

I've spoken a little about the reason we couldn't use GHC among other things, at https://github.com/replit/repl.it/issues/43 . In short, we need an interpreter rather than a compil…

Thanks for the report. We're handling input as raw keystrokes for flexibility, so the more advanced features are sometimes not supported. I've opened an issue for it ( https://gith…

You might be hitting the fact that QBasic actually requires keywords to be in capitals. The original IDE did the conversion for you, but repl.it doesn't. We should really be more l…

I think ideone and/or your editor converts tabs to 8 spaces. Trying a tab indent followed by an 8-space one raises an error in native IPython for me. In any case, we're using norma…

repl.it is an online REPL that supports 15+ languages, from Python to QBasic, using language interpreters written in JavaScript or compiled to JavaScript using Emscripten ( http://…

Most pieces are positioned in the middle of a square. A simple way to recognize the color of the piece and its square is to do a flood fill with a bit of tolerance (say 32/256) fro…
