I recommend reading about Shamir Secret Sharing. You could have a system setup such that (for example) you give 16 friends each a code and 9 of your 16 trusted friends all have to work together in order to get the original secret.

One interesting trick I found for clearing wierd characters from the clipboard in running `pbpaste | pbcopy` in the (macos) terminal.

Maybe it's just me, could "private GitHub coding site" have meant a private GitHub repo with GitHub pages turned on?

If that were the case, there would be no authentication whatsoever to access the closed-source site; the hacker would have just needed to guess the right url.

Author here. I'm open to any suggestions or comments.

Sorry to hear that. I recently wrote some code to support debugging without curses (both the library and a pun when you are on windows and need it).

It just uses try-catch block to detect if it should go into compatibility mode, so you should be able to use the latest version of the repo without thinking about Curses.

Have fun writing AsciiDots code

Thanks, and thank you for the great comment!

These are really interesting ideas, and I can't wait to start figuring out implementations.

I wonder if I could make something like jQuery, but for AsciiDots...

@davemp, I just uploaded the new code, a total rewrite.

Funny thing-- I read about Befunge for the first time in the middle of development.

Befunge is a really fun language, but I decided to continue development of AsciiDots because I find it more legible (not to discredit Befunge)

Right now, it just loops, without freezing the computer.

I think this caused the try-it-online server to crash. (Yeah, it was dumb to have it work like that online)

That's really interesting. I will look into that. Right now, subcircuits are created by using "libraries" to define custom characters (typically letters).

Also, thanks!
