-
A pinch of pixelized 8-bit typography. (With Unicode support.)
-
A splash of particle explosions, one for every letter you type.
-
A swirling sensory explosion of thumps and thuds for every keypress — A laser zap for each new line.
-
For every character you delete, send it flying off the editor like there’s no tomorrow.
-
To see if you can type to a metronomic beat, a super quirky rhythm mode.
Textreme is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It’s a delightful alternative if you’re looking to mix it up in your day-to-day, or just want something fun to play around with.
A beautiful text editor with eight-bit audio-video special effects: https://t.co/evGGt2e88l from @levkamenskii. Probably useless, but very addictive thing ;) #8bit #text pic.twitter.com/MbiupPuEko

It’s also open source on GitHub, built off the Godot Engine, and is a great project if you’re looking to dip your toes into open source game development.
If you’re looking for something a little more web-related, there’s an amazing project by Kushagra Gour called Code Blast for adding particle effects to the popular web editor CodeMirror, also open source!
