This is cool. Kind of like an abbreviated subset of the Logo programming language. Would be nice to be able to specify angles other than 90° though.

This would be great for generating avatars from usernames, very cool.

Repeating a string 4 times creates fun patterns with 360, 180 or 90 degree rotational symmetry (modifiable by adding spaces) which make nice looking avatars: "grosegrosegrosegrose" "grose grose grose grose"

Scratch that idea - people will not be pleased with the avatar for trebancas.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looks like a bug to me.

Definitely not a bug. There is a piece of code in source that looks like this: function rotateLine(position) { if (position halfabet) { context.rotate((90 \* Math.PI) / 180); } else if (position === halfabet) { context.rotate((180 \* Math.PI) / 180); } }

Halfabet is a fun variable name.

For someone on phone, could you show the PNG of what the output is?

Best unexpected use of the tool. I'm less impressed by the achievement than by the time and energy you used towards it. Well done!

Interesting. Only covers ASCII, umlauts etc get ignored.

It seems like a lost opportunity not to have diagonal lines.
