I’ve been working on loops in my FORTH implementation. Getting there, but probably not the best implementation.

@Archimage Ahh, Forth, what a lovely little language that is. 🥰 Writing my own is still on my someday maybe list.
@sod It’s actually not all that hard. The messiest bit is memory since most languages nowadays don’t let you manipulate memory and addresses. So, I’m simulating memory, which sandboxes it.
@Archimage That's encouraging. 😊 Should I ever come around to implementing my own, I will probably write in assembly, targeting one of the microcontrollers I know. The Sharp LR35902 (Game Boy), most likely.
Have you visited the Forth Haiku Salon? It's a playground for writing and sharing short visual Forth programs. It might be a fun exercise to port (some of) its glossary over to your Forth, to get basic support for graphics programming.
