Concept got me to laugh out loud! Great idea, would love to see further execution.
Maybe conceptually the parens should have been the weapon or somehow more ephasised as far as its fundamental role.
Thank you!
I hoped that the curved sword would look like a parenthesis, but I have some more I want to do. Things like lashing out with ((((())))).
I still want to add a quine as ranged attack:
((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x))) ((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x))) ((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x)))
and my paper notebooks has the moves of a C-style who fights with = and ++ and ===; having a vulnerable attack which uses < < < > > > (vulnerable between the angles, because C++ templates are whitespace-sensitive :-).
I’m still thinking about how to represent Haskell :-)
