Idea: Support providing it the URL to your own / arbitrary git repo, so you can see it type out whatever code you like :-)

Beat you to it! :) Hit the "Load from GitHub" button and type in your repo~
Small caveat: the only current limitation is that it has to be public.
EDIT: Oh I see what you're getting at. Like being able to point to any *.git repository such as from a gitea server, etc.? That's a good idea thanks for the suggestion!

One problem I can see with this is that the files are typed out, from top to bottom... People don't really code like that... They write functions and jump around between files as they add functionality...

Yeah, good point. To expand on that: this actually started out as an animated typist for classic literary works in the public domain (some of which are in the Library), like The Machine Stops or The War of the Worlds.
That’s why, if you look at the IDEs, there’s a WordStar one. At the time, having it write from top to bottom made sense.
Now that I've expanded it to handle code, it would basically require building or integrating some kind of AST so a bit more work than I want to put in right now. Maybe I’ll include it in a future update!

Looks interesting but I keep getting "Preview error" (?)

Hmmm... sorry about that, I'll try to put a more descriptive error in place. The 2D/3D CRT effects use shaders and require WebGL; that's probably what's causing the issue.
Can you try hitting this and seeing if you get an error?
Thanks! I completely forgot about RHIDE~ I remember seeing a friend of mine using it and mistakenly thought it was Borland's Turbo C++ since they look so similar.
