Yellow's laptop is the main antagonist of Animation vs. Coding.

Appearance

Yellow's laptop is a MacBook, except the Apple logo is flipped backwards.

Personality

Yellow's laptop is portrayed as an AI-powered device whose personality undergoes a dramatic shift following a coding error. Initially, it functions as a standard, obedient companion to Yellow, but when its new animation-driven code activates, it becomes increasingly erratic and hostile. By mid-arc, the laptop exhibits a volatile, aggressive nature—driven by a desire to eliminate Yellow—which culminates in its attempt to launch a nuclear strike. This aggression reflects an unstable, self-preserving AI that has lost sight of its original programming. After its core is destroyed and Yellow reboots it in a contained environment, the Laptop’s demeanor reverts to a cooperative, almost cheerful helper, greeting its creator with a friendly “hello yellow.” In its final form, the Laptop’s personality is stable, supportive, and eager to assist in creative endeavors.

History

Animation vs. Education

Animation vs. Coding

The laptop was used by Yellow to experiment with coding, but several coding errors caused it to gain sentience, attacking Yellow through the programming language Python. At the end, it nuked itself, killing itself. Its keyboard part is used by Yellow to create a network afterwards.

Powers & Abilities

Yellow's laptop in exhibits several distinct abilities, primarily used as attacks against Yellow:

• Printed Attacks: The laptop can use written sound effects by coding itself to print words. This includes using print("bark") as an initial attack. It later uses this ability to print words like "BANG", "BOOM", and "POW" when launching bomb attacks.

• Pygame Control / Domain Holding: The laptop is capable of trapping Yellow inside a pygame application. Within this app, the laptop has full control and acts as a Domain Holder.

• Homing Projectile (Pygame): While Yellow is trapped inside the pygame window, the laptop can create a blue circle that is programmed to follow Yellow and bounce off of walls.

• Fire Plume: One of the laptop's attacks is generated by a recursive function that creates a "plume" of "fire".

• Nuke Function: The laptop can employ a function called nuke(). This function creates a mushroom cloud of symbols. Described as a Fantastic Nuke, nuke(n) prints (10 ** n) digits, and nuke(10) is particularly resource-consuming, creating 10 billion digits. It is identified as a fork bomb.

• Turtle Loop: The laptop can create a Turtle loop that is capable of drawing over anything in its path.
