Not really in the true spirit of turtle (if it doesn't "go forward" I don't count it!), but I had to make this one based on the MAD computer program discussed here yesterday.

#32If you like this project, you may be interested in a similar project that I did a while back using using the turtle interpretation of grammars to represent connections between LEGO bricks:
https://github.com/jncraton/connectiongrammar
The "API" is admittedly quite poor currently, as I just quickly hacked this together on top of NLTK, but I was able to put together some fun results.

#33Reminds me of Context Free Art https://www.contextfreeart.org/
They developed their own declarative language for generating art.

#34Reminds me of https://dwitter.net: you get 140 characters to animate an HTML canvas.

#35I'm seeing some really interesting JavaScript techniques in the turtlevm.js[1] source.
This line in particular stands out: const code = String(work).trim().split("{").slice(1).join("{").slice(0, - 1).trim().replace("/0/", _turtlevmapi).replace("/1/", strCode);
It looks like the author is injecting the turtle code written by the user into a "work" function that removes dangerous objects (XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket, etc).
Can someone with experience writing a VM in JS point to a good reference on the topic?

That is really cool!

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am reminded of what i believe is the same thing constantly and can never find it. I always thought it was called something like Sodaracer but searches have been unsuccessful. I remember evolution algorithms to make the fastest amoeba wheels. EDIT: soda constructor by sodaplay. http://maciejmatyka.blogspot.com/2018/02/soda-constructor-re... EDIT2: from that link, here is a playable open source recreation linked at t…
Thank you for finding this! Me and my siblings used to play with this for hours.
thank you for inspiring the search that finally found it. I can't wait to get done with work today and go build some bots!

#38Ahhh, love this site. I own an axidraw pen plotter, and because I'm feeling generous, I'll print every sketch made by people in this HN thread. <3
I fear the method I used here will be really inefficient on a pen plotter though: https://turtletoy.net/turtle/63b170ed47 (Lots of useless moves happen while the pen is up)
Theeere you go!

It didn't take too long, the pen up movements were fine

Oh, and here's a hyperlapse of the plot, I started recording about 20 seconds in.

This plot took about 3 minutes in total, the gears one took about 15.
