About Icon Forth
A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. Icon Forth is an experiment in what can happen when traditional Forth words are replaced with images and the dictionary becomes an online collaborative database.
In Icon Forth, a Forth definition like:
:
Each 16x16 icon, pictographically depicts what the it means, and icons are strung together to construct more complex concepts from simpler ones.
Icon Forth, like a wiki, is a collaborative development space. Anyone can add an icon, and anyone can use and explorer the icons added by others. A User Guide is provided to get you started. It will teach you how to use the Icon Forth Editor to explorer existing icons in the global dictionary, or how to create icons of your own. A glossary describing the core icons in the system is also included for reference.
