    Hi everyone. I am back again with my 6th one of these. This one is a cool typographic effect!

    Here's the code...

    with(x)save(beginPath(font="85em'")),moveTo(j=1e3,540),clip(arc(j,540,2e3,a=t*6.3+9,a+.1)),restore(t>1||fillText("BROKE",29*S(a**3),j,1900))

      I just wanted to thank you for making/submitting these. I have found all of them so far incredibly interesting and this one was no exception. It always blows me away how much can be accomplished...

      I just wanted to thank you for making/submitting these. I have found all of them so far incredibly interesting and this one was no exception. It always blows me away how much can be accomplished with such tiny bits of code, and you also have a knack for making what's going on understandable even to a complete layman/amateur programmer like myself.

      p.s. One of the things I love about these "dweets" is how much they remind me of old demo scene stuff, which I was super into collecting/sharing in the 90s-00s. :)

        Thanks for the kind words! I've been programming for about 20 years but this tiny code thing is something I've just gotten into recently. My goal is to someday write a book about it. I love...

        I love demoscene stuff. The tiny code genera has kind of developed out of the demo scene but focused on source code rather then compiled code.

        You might also like this site.. https://js1k.com/ It's a contest that's been running for 10 years where people submitted 1k javascript programs, so much amazing stuff to see and learn.

            Also, if you click on demo details, most of them provide a readable version of the source code. I made 7 last year ;) http://frankforce.com/?p=5959
