Pixilang is a programming language for small graphics & sound applications, created by Alex Zolotov (NightRadio) and Mik Razuvaev (Goglus) for non-programmers, demosceners and designers.
Pixilang programs are stored in TXT-files, so you can edit in any text-editor. The Pixilang interpreter works on different operation systems (Windows, Linux, PalmOS) and is distributed under GNU GPL license.
Main features:
- easy syntax and small amount of commands;
- universal containers (pixi) using for text/gfx storage;
- pixel graphics describing in a source TXT-files directly (using ASCII symbols);
- transparency (simple and with alpha-channel);
- simple commands for rotation and resize;
- no floating point math operations – only 32bit integers are using;
- playing music in MOD and XM formats (using PsyTexx engine);
- functions for sound synthesis;
- loading GIF (animated) and JPG file formats;
- realtime export to GIF
If you’re using Pixilang for musical applications, I’d be interested in hearing what you’re doing in the comments.
I just tried out Pixilang and it is pretty cool. I created something fun in no time!
