About this talk
Session name: Retro Coding Fun: Interactive Games on Your Printer with PostScript
Speaker: Nicolas Seriot
Session description: Dive into the vintage world of PostScript, a compact, stack-based language, through two interactive demos: a chess engine and a tic-tac-toe game. Despite its age and the lack of modern tools like IDEs, debuggers, and standard libraries, PostScript’s simplicity and power as a Turing-complete language make it a playground for coding enthusiasts.
In this session, we'll showcase how these programs run directly on actual printers, leveraging PostScript's original purpose. Experience the development process, challenges, and solutions of bringing these games to life in PostScript, turning your printer into an interactive gaming device.
Join us to geek out over the charm and power of this classic language and see why it’s still fun for creative engineering projects. Whether you’re a seasoned coder or a curious newbie, explore the enduring appeal of PostScript and discover the excitement of running code on real printers!
