CodeSimulator

A Javascript library that creates animated output that looks like code, but isn't really.

It randomly generates code sequences using several base blocks (flow control, variable definition, execution statements, and SQL queries). Good for if you ever need output that looks code-y, but is actually nonsense!

var code = $("code");



var simulator = new CodeSimulator({output: code});

Notes & caveats

There are a few things to know about this library:
