Hi i'm not quite skilled in coding but is the barrier of entry high? Would someone like me with not a lot of knowledge be able to pick this up and start programming?

Well it's simply an alternative to entering code via the keyboard. If you can't code using a keyboard already this won't help in that regard.

Nothing in life is impossible. But unless you have some sort of physical disability that prevents you from using a keyboard and monitor, you are much better off learning programming using standard tools that have tons of noob-friendly documentation, rather than something experimental like this.

I guess things have moved on from this Perl-Vista nightmare, I was personally looking forward to having all the coders around me screaming at their desktops in a fit of frustration and rage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzJ0CytAsec

That’s 11 years old.

It was a joke, relax.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tested your code and it works for me. Make sure you type 0IRK and nothing else like spaces or periods. or click this link https://voicecoder.net/game.html?id=0IRK What browser and device are you using?

I guess the problem was that it said "dot", so I included a period. It should probably not say that. It works now, thanks!

Thank you for the feedback, I'll fix that.
