@Jim I think that Charcoal would be best for what you want

I found that it didn't have enough builtins to do "well" in code-golf challenges, but I haven't looks into it too much

I couldn't find any language that combined both being a really short golfing language and being good at ascii art; and I don't have the time to make one myself :'(

@DestructibleLemon The drawing thing would be for ascii art, but wouldn't be the main purpose of the language. What I wanted was a golfing lang, like Japt, but with functions to do ascii art if needed
Tom
Jun 22, 2017 09:32
ooh, is it not? I thought that's the main purpose?
Tom

I have a lot of plans for what I think would be improvements on charcoal. That and it isn't just for drawing ascii art
Tom
Jun 22, 2017 09:28
Charcoal is definitely the best one that's actually usable

Uses unicode arrows like ↓ to draw lines, and shapes like ■ to draw shapes. Not documented at all, but if you want to see how it works the code is on github.

@Jim I started working on something exactly like this, didn't get very far though.

I didn't realise that it converted some symbols to their unicode values

The problem I was having was with having the -Q flag on when testing
Tom
Jun 9, 2017 13:57
But also not
Tom

Wait, I am an idiot
Tom

I think it has something to do with TIO not displaying the exact same text as the Japt Interpreter, so when copying and pasting between the two things got messed up
Tom
Jun 9, 2017 13:51
can't reproduce for some reason
Tom

among other things
Tom
Jun 9, 2017 13:44
kept giving me loads of \u000x's for some reason
Tom

was running into some weird problems with compressing strings
