  1. Should I learn or ? I am thinking to learn tic80 because it supports more platforms to support my game on. At the same time pico8 runs better on my powkiddy v90 handheld where I do want my games to run on.
    I know python so I think I can learn lua for pico8 or tic80. As well as the other functions to make a game. I never programmed a game except a duck clicker in python tkinter so it would be cool to learn a game engine and make games.

  2. I released the free asset I teased: TIC-80 Universal Button Prompts -- tiny 8×8 pixel prompts for HUD/tutorials.
    Universal = face buttons by position (Top/Right/Bottom/Left), so it works with any controller layout.

  3. #genuary Day 9: "Crazy automaton"

    Made an explorer for "elementary cellular automata"!

    By moving the mouse, you can change the Wolfram code (which defines, in bits, a table for how to compute a pixel from the previous line).

    This also was the first time I've tried the #fennel language – a Lisp that compiles to Lua! #tic80 has several of these niche little languages built-in! <3

  4. this is so cool! I ported to #webxdc TIC-80 #fantasy #computer for making, playing and sharing tiny #games

    you can import/export files with add/get commands!

    with this you can create #retro games in #lua, #fennel, #python, #ruby, #javascript etc and play/share them with friends as in-chat apps in #DeltaChat / #ArcaneChat

    I would like to expose the webxdc API to TIC-80 games so they can do networking/multiplayer and send in-chat messages
