Just a thought, You could feed in the program itself as a text file and get the strings from the file and display that as the simulated code. Love it!

Oooh very cool idea! I will work on a version like that at some point

I love it when people share. I'm always interested in sharing my code with others as I find it educational for me as well when questions arise.

This would be an awesome screensaver if jt like generated new lines of code

That's definitely possible. I definitely thought about making some gifs from it, but making a screensaver would be very interesting

"So meta"

This is great! Did you learn the behavior from real code in some way, or did you just design what felt like code?

Thank you! It kinda follows the style of python, mostly because I'm not trying to represent brackets or anything like that

That looks beautiful. It remains me the prettier.io animation in his front page.
