-# 🪙 Bitcoin Script Playground
+# Bitcoin Script Lab
-> **Interactive Learning Platform for Bitcoin Script Development**
+A terminal-style educational lab for learning Bitcoin Script concepts through opcode-by-opcode execution tracing and live stack visualization.
-A modern, web-based playground for learning and experimenting with Bitcoin Script. Built with vanilla JavaScript, this tool provides an intuitive interface for understanding Bitcoin's scripting language through hands-on practice.
+## v2 Highlights
-
-
-
-
+- Terminal-inspired Bitcoin developer UI
+- Step-by-step execution trace
+- Run All / Step / Reset Trace controls
+- Live stack state panel
+- Opcode reference panel
+- Shareable scripts through URL parameters
+- Zero-build static web app
-## ✨ Features
+## Important Scope Note
-### 🎯 **Interactive Script Editor**
-- Real-time script execution
-- Syntax highlighting and validation
-- Error handling with detailed messages
-- Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Enter to run)
+Bitcoin Script Lab uses a simplified JavaScript interpreter for learning purposes. It is **not** Bitcoin Core-compatible and must not be used to validate real transactions.
-### 📚 **Comprehensive Opcode Library**
-- **30+ Bitcoin Script opcodes** implemented
-- Organized by categories: Stack, Arithmetic, Comparison, Bitwise, Logical, Constants, Verification
-- Click-to-insert opcode functionality
-- Detailed descriptions for each opcode
+## Quick Start
-### 🎨 **Visual Stack Management**
-- Real-time stack visualization
-- Animated stack operations
-- Color-coded stack items
-- Clear visual feedback
-
-### 🧩 **Sample Scripts & Puzzles**
-- Pre-built examples for different skill levels
-- Basic math operations
-- Comparison logic
-- Multi-signature examples
-- Advanced stack manipulation
-
-### 🔗 **Sharing & Collaboration**
-- Generate shareable URLs for scripts
-- Copy-to-clipboard functionality
-- Easy script distribution
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-### Option 1: Live Demo
-Simply open `index.html` in your web browser - no setup required!
-
-### Option 2: Local Development Server
```bash
-# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/polydeuces32/bitcoin-script-playground.git
cd bitcoin-script-playground
-
-# Start local server
python3 -m http.server 8000
-# or
-npx serve .
-
-# Open in browser
-open http://localhost:8000
```
-## 📖 Usage Examples
+Open:
-### Basic Arithmetic
-```bitcoin-script
-OP_1 OP_2 OP_ADD OP_DUP
+```text
+http://localhost:8000
```
-**Result**: Stack contains `[3, 3]`
-### Comparison Logic
-```bitcoin-script
-OP_5 OP_3 OP_ADD OP_8 OP_EQUAL
-```
-**Result**: Stack contains `[1]` (true)
+## Example Script
-### Stack Manipulation
-```bitcoin-script
-OP_1 OP_2 OP_3 OP_ROT OP_SWAP
+```text
+OP_1 OP_2 OP_ADD OP_DUP
```
-**Result**: Stack contains `[2, 1, 3]`
-
-## 🛠 Supported Opcodes
-
-### Stack Operations
-- `OP_DUP` - Duplicates the top stack item
-- `OP_2DUP` - Duplicates the top two stack items
-- `OP_DROP` - Removes the top stack item
-- `OP_SWAP` - Swaps the top two stack items
-- `OP_OVER` - Copies the second-to-top item to the top
-- `OP_ROT` - Rotates the top 3 stack items
-
-### Arithmetic Operations
-- `OP_ADD` - Adds the top two stack items
-- `OP_SUB` - Subtracts the second item from the first
-- `OP_MUL` - Multiplies the top two stack items
-- `OP_DIV` - Divides the second item by the first
-- `OP_MOD` - Returns the remainder of division
-
-### Comparison Operations
-- `OP_EQUAL` - Returns 1 if top two items are equal
-- `OP_EQUALVERIFY` - Same as OP_EQUAL but runs OP_VERIFY afterward
-- `OP_1EQUAL` - Returns 1 if input is 1, 0 otherwise
-- `OP_0NOTEQUAL` - Returns 1 if input is not 0, 0 otherwise
-
-### Bitwise Operations
-- `OP_AND` - Bitwise AND of the top two items
-- `OP_OR` - Bitwise OR of the top two items
-- `OP_XOR` - Bitwise XOR of the top two items
-- `OP_NOT` - Bitwise NOT of the top item
-
-### Logical Operations
-- `OP_BOOLAND` - Boolean AND of the top two items
-- `OP_BOOLOR` - Boolean OR of the top two items
-### Constants
-- `OP_0` through `OP_5` - Push numbers 0-5 onto stack
+Trace result:
-### Verification
-- `OP_VERIFY` - Marks transaction as invalid if top stack value is not true
-- `OP_RETURN` - Marks transaction as invalid
-
-## 🎓 Educational Value
-
-This playground is perfect for:
-- **Bitcoin developers** learning script fundamentals
-- **Students** understanding stack-based programming

+## Why This Exists
-
+Bitcoin Script is stack-based and difficult to understand from static documentation alone. This project makes the stack transitions visible so beginners can learn by running and stepping through scripts.
-**⭐ Star this repository if you find it helpful!**
+## Roadmap
-Made with ❤️ for the Bitcoin community
+- Animated stack transitions
+- Real transaction template examples
+- Hashlock and timelock teaching modes
+- Miniscript learning mode
+- Better automated tests
