#13Thanks OP!
That is flipping sweet! Ahh man, takes me back to 1982 sitting in from of an Apple II in 2nd grade fiddling with turtle. Shudders... Ugh, so old. Makes me want to abandon using these new fangled 3D Animation FX softwares and make some green lines and purple circles, drink some Ovaltine, eat some cookies and have a nap.
Sorry, had all the nostalgia there.
This must be memory triggerings too, right?

Re: Pencil code
#15This is really cool.
One suggestion -- expand the function names! It took me a little bit to figure out that "fd" was "forward" and "rt" was "right."
It doesn't seem like that much more time to type out "forward" than "fd" -- especially if you're just clicking on function names -- and it'd go a long way in making the code more approachable and readable.

#16I like these types of projects. Easy to use and easy to get kids into basic coding. Would be a great piece to use in schools for an upcoming "Day of Code".
Re: Pencil code
#17It's super good for beginners, especially for kids!

#18> Learn professional programming languages using an editor that lets you work in either blocks or text. I was hoping this would be a visual editor for existing mainstream languages (Python, JS, PHP, C#, etc.). Sadly it isn't, but this makes me want to make one.
It is, for JavaScript and CoffeeScript. Additional adapters can also be created. Read http://ideas.pencilcode.net/home/htmlcss/droplet-paper.pdf :)
Oh I see! I hadn't noticed it was CoffeeScript.

Making glowing green lines and purple circles is harder than it used to be, because that combination of hardware isn't popular[0]. It might not be that hard to use an old monitor, but it was easier in 92.
