Picotron pickups! 😊 #picotron

Working on a cozy game for fun. It is hard to strike a balance between creating deep, versatile systems and systems that are shallow enough so that you can actually fill them with content. Side note: Color tables are the best thing ever. Seasons are just one palette shift away! #picotron #gamedev

Don't underestimate the default #Pico8 palette. Bubble symphony, the third bubble bobble game shrunk 📺 from 320x240 pixels to 128x128 🎨 From 256 colours to 15 ( I had no use for pure black)

sorta getting the swing of it now, still just trying to have fun and not take it too seriously tho. #pico-8 #chiptune

While fixing bugs for #picotron 0.2.2 I ended up yak-shaving quite far into future features, so here's what native window exports look like. tldr: export -n foo.bin to get a binary that runs as an arbitrary sized window directly on the host desktop.

Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter. – Physics-based color repulsion – Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias – Adaptive spacing to hit target count – OKLCh color space (perceptually uniform) Early Access: please break it! chipper-otter-d6c600.netlify.app
