Piet is an esoteric progrmming language invented by David Morgen-Mar where the code looks like abstract art. For more language specific information please refer to the original language specification or take a look at my documentaion in the
docsfolder.
This project provides an impelmentaion of a piet interpreter in combination with a simple browser based IDE written in C# using .NET and Blazor. Blazor provides a build as WebAssembly, so you can run this project witout any additional infrastructure setup, or simply check out the deployed version here.
The current version is a minimal working prototype with a small feature set, only the essential components for creating and executing a Piet program are available.
