Interesting article, on a subject I've also given some thought myself. Haven't read all of the comments, so forgive me if it was already said, but latest advances in semantic highlighting are a valuable aid, especially when dealing with dynamic languages. I've used a semantic highlighter that could catch typos that resulted in undeclared globals that would result in runtime errors later on.

OTOH, one striking memory I have is the first time I came across syntax highlighting: it was when I first saw C code, in Borland's Turbo C environment for MS-DOS. After years programming in BASIC, dBase and Clipper without any special features from editors, my reaction was: "man, the syntax in C is so weird that they need to paint the code!"

Another great example of human "musician playing at effect rate" would be the tapping sequence of Eddie Van Halen's eruption. He plays a monophonic sequence so fast that you can clearly devise the chords (and with the distorted guitar sound it actually sounds quite a bit like a chiptune. :)

This almost sounds like a IDM track by Aphex Twin. And damn, only 32 Bytes ram? Awesome!

I am working on a demo of my own based on the ATtiny2313. I almost stopped when i realized that it only goes to 16 MHz. Until I saw you using the ATtiny15 -- WTF?!!?! Okay.. Now I am inspired! :)

Any chance you'd post annotated schematics?

Awesome. If anyone wanted to complain about using a modern chip, I'd say the fact that you are running it at merely 1.6Mhz without any support chips at all should quell any disgruntlement. Very cool.

It's possible. I solved it in 17 moves. A lot of manipulation, however.

Do you think you could upload a recording of this? I think it would make a great ringtone for my cell phone.

Great ! I love the resulting sound, it really sounds exactly like the NES (requesting Kirby's Dreamland, the music is great).
I wrote a little article about the chipophone on a french retro gaming community : http://www.gamopat.com/article-le-chipophone-77868345.html
Ducktales, Zelda and Metroid (part 2) are awesome !

Thanks a lot.

OH. MY. GOD.
My Head already starts exploding and overheating when just THINKING about GOL. If I would have to program it... oh my god.
You didn't just program/code it, you f*cking did it in BRAINFUCK!!
This _literally_ fucks my brain!
I love you.
I just hope to become a good C++ Coder and maybe create some demos or sth like that... But I don't think I will ever achieve what you achieved.
You are a larger-than-life. Keep up the good work!
