TL;DR
This paper introduces a visual programming language where behaviors are constructed through combinators that are reified as actors, enabling a chemistry-like process of program synthesis within a virtual world.
Contribution
It presents a novel programming paradigm that combines visual programming, reification of program components, and diffusion-based composition resembling chemical processes.
Findings
Enables building complex behaviors from simple components
Uses diffusion to assemble programs from fixed-type combinators
Facilitates program synthesis resembling chemical reactions
Abstract
We describe a visual programming language for defining behaviors manifested by reified actors in a 2D virtual world that can be compiled into programs comprised of sequences of combinators that are themselves reified as actors. This makes it possible to build programs that build programs from components of a few fixed types delivered by diffusion using processes that resemble chemistry as much as computation.
