Related, a self destroying game I built some time ago: https://void4.github.io/ The yellow dot is the instruction pointer, the red dots represent the program memory. If you hit the ball just right you can introduce graphic glitches. Most times, the instruction pointer gets out of bounds however.

This is really cool and I'd love to play with it, but my eyesight isn't good enough to hit the ball more than once at a time. Is there anyway you could post an upscaled version?

For those who like this I can tell you about another thriving gaming platform... Emacs! You can out of the box play all your favorites such as M-x tetris M-x snake M-x solitaire Just as well as multiplayer classics M-x pong To find out more and get the latest games check out https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryGames#toc1 Great OS, the only thing that's really missing is a decent text editor.

Nothing beats Microsoft platforms for gaming though. Excel 97 has a built-in flight sim. Can Emacs do THAT?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of the most brilliant applications of this concept is the Pokémon Yellow Total Control Hack: http://aurellem.org/vba-clojure/html/total-control.html Similarly, arbitrary code execution in Super Mario World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPcV9uIY5i4 It's like transforming a chess game into Mikado just by playing it.

One thing I've often wanted to do, but didn't have the time to, was to take Turing Drawings: https://github.com/maximecb/Turing-Drawings ( faster asm.js variant here: https://github.com/darius/Turing-Drawings ), which runs a random Turing machine to generate abstract art and put the machine description in the image itself, so it could self-modify.
