Hello World in Piet — Piet Code
A Piet 'Hello World!' program is an image composed of colored blocks. The code below is just a placeholder; actual execution requires an interpreter that processes the image.
[Piet programs are images, not text - this would be a bitmap of color regions spelling out 'Hello World!']Piet Language Guide
Piet is an esoteric programming language where programs are abstract pictures. Instead of text, Piet code uses colored blocks, and program execution depends on transitions between colors.
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Graphical esoteric programming
- ▸Code-golf and artistic coding
- ▸Educational visualization of computation
- ▸Algorithmic art creation
- ▸Esolang experimentation
Notable Features
- ▸Programs are images composed of colored codels
- ▸Instructions based on hue & brightness transitions
- ▸Uses Direction Pointer (DP) and Codel Chooser (CC)
- ▸Highly visual and artistic representation of logic
- ▸Turing-complete visually encoded operations
Origin & Creator
Piet was created by David Morgan-Mar in 2001, inspired by artist Piet Mondrian’s abstract geometric style.
Industrial Note
Piet is primarily used in esolang communities, artistic programming competitions, code-golf, and educational contexts exploring unconventional computation.
