yay, I wrote an article about that!

Cheers :)

Cool! some suggestions:

- show it on http://www.reddit.com/r/tinycode/

- if you aim for low character count instead of low byte count, you can pass your code through my unicide packer here: http://xem.github.io/obfuscatweet/

- Golf your code even more (using the tips of the other comments), and use all the remaining chars to add features to your game and fill the 140 chars of a tweet :)

Cheers

oh, awesome. It's always a pleasure to find that the golfing we do inspires other people to do other projects ;)

you're right, the 210b version can be run from the JS console. The 227b is a... standalone app.

99 LINES? That's huge. How about this one in 227 characters? http://xem.github.io/sheet/ :)

the real question is, why Github doesn't do this directly?

In fact, it converts ascii characters into "extended ascii" characters. So the bytes count is correct.

If you're interested in pack-to-unicode, I did it too: https://gist.github.com/xem/7086007

Now it's 161+

This is the final iteration of the code golfing game started last thursday, aiming to create a Codepen/JSfiddle/JSbin clone in less than 256 bytes:

This one fits in a single tweet!

now, it IS tweetable!

Guys, the editor is almost tweetable! (143 characters)

Now it's 176+

Hi, the counter dropped to 185+ bytes. The project's homepage was reworked too: http://xem.github.io/miniCodeEditor/ Thank you all!

Thanks for your help! You shoud join us on Github, and discuss this subject here: https://github.com/xem/miniCodeEditor/issues/6

That's very nice too!

You know, thare's already a save function: you can write stuff in the cross-browser editor and save it on your desktop as a standalone HTML page (Ctrl-S / File > "Save as...")

I recommend you to use Firefox: it will keep the code in the textareas. Chrome will only save the iframe's content.

;)

Added in the homepage ;)

Thanks for this hommage :D

This user interface is very nice, bravo!

In your JS, you can replace html["value"], css["value"] and js["value"] with html.value, css.value and js.value

I like this idea!

Feel free to fork miniCodeEditor and add this kind of features :)

Thanks for mentioning this!

I also thought of this approach this morning, but didn't mention it because I thought people would just add the editor in their bookmarks.

Cool! But your "get css" button doesn't work

Wow! This topic is successful!

You can also take a look at this 512b project that didn't live long on HN yesterday:

A minesweeper game https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6853868

And my other code golfing projects: http://xem.github.io/?golfing

well, not really. miniCodeEditor (like codepen.io or jsfiddle.net) is more like a tool helping to quickly setup a HTML/CSS/JS prototype, not to build a website.
