Comment on SCRIPT-8: An 8 Bit Fantasy Computer Programmed with Javascript

Comments

I'm an avid Pico-8/fantasy computer fan, and this is a really nice project. There have been quite a number of fantasy consoles coming out within the past few years, so it's nice to see one that offers features that the others don't, rather than simply "Pico-8, but with a twist". The live coding window and sliders in particular are simple things that increase QoL.

Others have noted that the use of JS is somewhat of a turn off, but even as a big Lua fan myself, it doesn't really bother me, I already have one (probably more than one) Lua fantasy console that covers my wishes. However, the author's comment here did mention adding MoonScript support, which would be something I would be very interested in.
