Can we compile C code into PowerPoint?

PPSuite:

The endgame of all of this is to get Powerpoint to compile and run itself.

_The year is 2050. PowerPoint C remains widely used for its efficiency, despite its support being terminated decades ago. No one really knows anything about it besides that it works. And also the fact that one of the original creators had the bright idea to put the documentation in a Google Doc._

_So thats what cpp means..._ *C PowerPoint*

0:34 I find it hard to believe nobody was talking about PowerPoint in the 16th century. It was all the rage back then!

Loved the mathematical bit. I swear that you see "it trivially follows" in books out of the author's spite for the time they read "it trivially follows" when it wasn't the case at all.

Quarantine day 69: man figures out how to compile C in PowerPoint.

Now _this_ is what I like to see on my youtube subscription feed

This is when a computer scientist have too many spare time during quarantine

At first i was amused thinking it's an april fools video.
But then i remebered that this is the day SIGBOVIK is held.
Then i realized you will try to actually do this.
After that it just became more and more painful as time went on.


Looking forward to the next hilariously useless invention involving microsoft office programs

That poke at JavaScript got me. Too true.

This reminds me a lot of when I used to build gigantic contraptions out of redstone in Minecraft. Both are hugely impractical but immensely satisfying.

You may be my favorite YouTuber because every time I look at your channel, I feel like my years of Microsoft Office experience have been made obsolete, and that you will teach me the way of the future...happy April Fools, and I can’t wait to see what else you do with Office!

I'm close friends with one of the University of Chicago researchers who made PPSuite for the hackathon. He forwarded our group of hometown friends this video. I love the way you broke down the core concepts for a general audience to understand. Good work! Cheers.

"However, the popularity of javascript and electron aplications shows..its not elegance or efficiency" On point.

When I sat in on an artificial intelligence class at the college I ended up attending they showed your video on powerpoint as a Turing machine, and now I've randomly found you on YouTube! Very cool

If we got the c compiler, running crysis is just a few formal steps

When PP manages to run more things than Javascript, you know it's getting real
