I tried to come up with an interesting Glitch effect, but then remembered JSE already has one. (presuming it still works and isn't inexplicably broken on some browsers like the Scroll function is)
So, instead of making a fun glitch effect, I took the time to generate a sierpinski triangle which ended up proving to be rather tricky without Functions.
Which brings up the ToDo list one more time.
I'm not sure if I can handle functions as well as I'd need to, but I think it might be time to look into doing that.
The ToDo list is getting bigger, especially with things like the Scroll functionality needing a good rejigging.
Good grief, this month hasn't been easy.
Every day feels like another reason to abandon the Transpiler and just spend the next few months fixing up and improving the Javascript engine.
Which is a shame, because the idea of the Transpiler seemed like a really great plan.
It's just that the Todo list is getting longer and longer, and ..
Well, it's up to me to fix that, isn't it?
OK, Jay. Get back to business.
There's plenty of work to be done.
[Dave is furiously typing on his computer, surrounded by empty Coke cans. Green enters, looking concerned.]
Dave: (frustrated) Argh! This fractal code is driving me mad!
Green: (cautiously) What could possibly go wrong with your coding this time?
Dave: (dramatically) Everything! The patterns are all wrong. It's like the computer's gone haywire!
Green: (thoughtfully) You know, after the other day's ant invasion, I wonder if some of them got inside your computer.
Dave: (excitedly) Brilliant! That must be it! The ants are creating chaos in my code, just like they did in my room!
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's Room - Afternoon
[Dave is now attempting to open his computer case, while Green watches nervously.]
Green: Dave, are you sure this is a good idea?
Dave: (dismissively) Oh, come on! This is my personal computer. What's the worst that could happen?
Green: (sarcastically) Oh, I don't know. Maybe you'll accidentally link it to every system in the neighbourhood and cause a citywide blackout? Again.
Dave: (excitedly) Ooh, that would be cool! Maybe I could get on the news again!
Green: (facepalming) That wasn't a suggestion, Dave.
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's Room - Evening
[Dave's computer is now in pieces, with wires everywhere. Green looks exasperated.]
Dave: (triumphantly) Aha! I found the problem!
Green: (skeptically) Let me guess, it wasn't ants?
Dave: (sheepishly) Well, no. But look! I found this piece of cake stuck in the fan!
Green: (confused) Cake? How did that get in there?
Dave: (thinking) Remember when you won that dance contest and were eating cake? It must have fallen in when you were screwing the TV to the stand!
Green: (sighing) Dave, that was years ago. And it doesn't explain your fractal glitch.
Dave: (shrugging) Maybe the cake developed sentience and started messing with my code?
Green: (sarcastically) Right, and I suppose the Cola Genie told you that?
Dave: (excitedly) Green, you're a genius! I'll ask the Cola Genie to fix my code!
[As Dave runs off to find a Coke can, Green looks at the dismantled computer]
Green: (to the audience) If anyone needs me, I'll be at the pool hall. Again.
