Geek moment

July 27th, 2005

Sorry, non-programmers, but this is a geek moment coming up. Look away now.

I just realised that my web server has a java compiler on it. So this is my crazy idea…

I invent a super-duper simple language which people can write programs in and upload to my server. It gets translated into java, with added database connectivity and gubbins like that, then it’s executed.

Why would I do this? To create a programming wars website of course. The language would allow the author to express the AI of a little being that they control with the program they write in order to become the victorious being.

The bit I can’t figure out is the how to become the victorious being bit. I’m going to have to come up with a game of sorts with rules and things. Ideas on a postcard…

End of brain vomit.
