I'm not entirely sure if this thread should go into "Arts and Crafts", "Media discussions", or "Gaming (Other)".
But!
I recently found this programming language called "Piet (http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html)", By a guy named David Morgan-mar (I think he also does a lot of web-comics), which instead of words and numbers on a notepad, it uses splotches of color on a bitmap.
This picture, an example given under the "samples" page on the main site, is actually a program!

Sure, all it does is print the word "Piet", but hey! a picture, that's actually a program!
And this much larger image, also given on the main site, is really awesome.

It's a text based adventure game! Wut!?
So, have any of you "written" anything in it? any of you planning on "writing" with it, now that you've heard of it?
Anyone want to help eachother draw programs?
