bitebeet
a bytebeat interpreter
bitebeet interprets mathematical expressions as sound (bytebeats). The expressions are written in a subset of the C programming language, with the following restrictions:
- One expression only
- Only one pre-defined variable:
t - Integers (positive/negative decimal or hexadecimal), strings
- Mathematic operators:
(), +, -, *, /, % - Bitwise operators:
&, |, ^, <<, >>, ~ - Relational operators:
<, >, <=, >=, ==, !=, ! - Array subscript operator:
[] - Ternary if operator:
?:
The text buffer is currently limited to 112 characters.
Requirements
- a keyboard (the typing kind)

Acknowledgements
Thanks to @NightMachines for creating the Bytebeats thread, which introduced me to bytebeats. This post by @tehn inspired me to try writing a bytebeat Supercollider plugin. I would not have gotten anywhere without some extremely helpful blog posts by @madskjeldgaard on writing Supercollider plugins. Finally, thanks to @dan_derks for motivating me to officially share this script with y’all!
