There are programming languages that are entirely visual. In fact, I could parse the pixels in a bitmap created by ms paint and make it into programming.

It's not even that hard. Assign a set of color values to a character in Brainfuck. Iterate through each pixel and do the translation. Throw away color values that don't match. Run the result through the Brainfuck compiler.

If I'm really crazy, I could implement the instructions directly rather than translating, but translation is easier.

Aaaaand you've now reinvented punch cards for Brainfuck in mspaint. How do you feel about yourself?

Just fine, thank you.
