## Toys!

These are the toys I've ported over (so far) from my old website. New and improved!

---

#### Tabloid Closures

<div class="text-center">
  <img src="/assets/tabloid.png" width="500">
</div>

For fun (and procrastination) I added closures to the [Tabloid](https://tabloid.vercel.app/) esoteric programming language and wrote lambda-calculus-inspired primitives of pair/cons, then extended them to
valid merge sort and binary tree traversal programs. 

[It is horribly inefficient](/toys/tabloid).

#### Gödel Number Playground
 
<div class="text-center">
  <img src="/assets/godel.png" width="500">
</div>

A PEG grammar (I'd hardly call this a compiler) which computes the [Gödel number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_numbering) from a valid L program. 

[View your favorite L program's Gödel number here](/toys/godel).

#### Turing Machine

<div class="text-center">
  <img src="/assets/turing.png" width="500">
</div>

World's smallest VM & bytecode compiled language? 

[Click here to find out](/toys/turing).

#### Euler Golf 2

<div class="text-center">
  <img src="/assets/euler.png" width="500">
</div>

Euler Golf 2 is a reimplemetation and solver of [Val Hovey's Euler Golf](https://valhovey.github.io/EulerGolf).

[Play now!](/toys/euler-golf)

#### Julia Explorer

<div class="text-center">
  <img src="/assets/julia.png" width="500">
</div>

A quick experiment with [GPU.js](https://gpu.rocks/#/).

[Explore julia set fractals in real time](/toys/julia).

#### A Fourier New Year

<div class="text-center">
  <img src="/assets/fourier.png" width="500">
</div>

A quick app I hacked together for some friends on Discord at the time to explore a discrete fourier transform of the function of their mood wrt time for the year.
