Tiltedc

Tiltedc is C but tilted.

It should be 100% C code, but the text shall be interpreted vertically, from top to bottom and left to right. It is technically a Weirdlang.

Advantages

  • Programming feels like a side-scroller game, this adds even more enjoyment to programming.
  • May use screen space more efficiently (when using a horizontal-mounted monitor).
  • While coding, you feel as if you were in your own little matrix, which may boosts your self-esteem.
  • It looks cool (could almost be used as a wallpaper).

Disadvantages

  • Most modern text editors are not specialized in editing vertically.
  • Slower compilation (more steps inbetween, because file formats are not optimized to handle Tiltedc).
  • Generally, the files end up being larger to their C counterpart (the same reason as above).
  • The programmer has to be accustomed in reading text vertically in order to be efficient.
