Funny fly, is not it? On the other hand, what's so funny? Normal pixel front sight. But there would not be this post here if everything was so simple. This representative of the Diptera squad is created using a notepad and a programming language created specifically for the purpose of pixel animation and its sound. And so meet:

Pixilang is a pixel-oriented programming language developed in 2006 by Alexander Zolotov and Mikhail Razuvaev. From the definition it is clear that the distinctive feature of this language is pixel orientation! What is it expressed in? And in constructions like this:

 o = # ffcc00
 logo = "
 .o ... ooo ... o.
 ..o..oo.o ..
 ... ooooooo ...
 ... ooooooo ...
 .ooooooooooo.
 .o.ooooooo.o.
 oo ......... oo
 +
 .o ... ooo ... o.
 ..o..oo.o ..
 ... ooo.ooo ...
 ... ooooooo ...
 .ooooooooooo.
 .o.ooooooo.o.
 oo ......... oo
 "

This design creates an animated image with a size of 13x7 pixels (namely, pixels that will later be converted into pixels taking into account the scale), containing 2 frames. Looking at this example, indeed, one can argue about the pixel orientation. If you try, you can end up with this:
