So I ended up not doing traditional collision checking at all, but relying on flocking to keep the units from colliding and it's actually working pretty nicely!

I've compressed an #Othello #game into 1KB of #pico8 #code for the #pico1k game #jam.

There's a small #jam called #pico1k going on right now, where you make #pico8 games in 1,024 (compressed) bytes or less.

I decided to do a #demake of sorts. I took the essential bits of my newest game, Apathello, and whittled them down into this #1k cartridge. I call it Kilothello.
