I've always wanted to create my own language, and it is probably a good idea to start with something simple. And that may just be a movie computer scripting language.
If you ever see a computer in movies, you know what I'm talking about: large dialog boxes stating "downloading" or "encrypting" and a larger then life progress bar filling most of the screen. Or weird documents popping up on screen.
Well, all cool stuff and you could create it in something like openoffice presentation and run that on screen, but creating full animations for all those things, can take some time. What about a simple scripting language then!
Something where you can say:
progressbar "downloading" for 20 seconds
progressbar "encrypting" for 10 seconds up to 50%
flash screen red
sound alarm.ogg
fullscreen "Intruder detected"Well, sounds good right? It would probably get Linux in the picture some more two. Shouldn't be two hard, and it may even be done with some kind of javascript and homepage or even gecko... hmm.. putting this on my todo.
