do you physically model the weight inside or do you cheat in code?

Oh I like that. That's cool.

I think I'm the last person on Earth to find out about it but I've been playing Animal Well today and it's really really good.

Not to question your artistic choices, but I feel like using Jacks instead of Knaves would have made reading the faces a little clearer at a glance...

How many floppies are you photographing that you need to automate the process?

So I've had time to stew on my #TweetTweetJam 9 experience. Before I heard about it I was just finishing off a couple of Pico8 projects before switching to a new engine, but this jam got me thinking about making a new tool to help when I do this again next year.
Watch this space I guess.

technically 3 were variants of the same game, so it's more like 8

2024-05-12 13:45:34

I had to cut some stuff but I did it. I Zooped.
Tenth and final entry to #TweetTweetJam 9 is 500P, a classic action puzzler now without the action.
All in just 500 characters. See next toot.

I'm going to do my riskiest attempt at a demake yet for tomorrow, my final entry into #TweetTweetJam 9.

So I submitted a 9th thing to #TweetTweetJam 9 and now I'm in a pickle.
I managed to crunch down the input logic on BellyFish to fit both keyboard and touch controls into the 500 character limit.
So now I have the same game submitted 3 times but two of them are deprecated. Should I withdraw the old versions or leave them for posterity?
All three are on my website:

This is technically submission number 8 for #TweetTweetJam 9.
Solitaire is a mouse/touch controlled triangular pegboard. I hope you know the rules of solitaire because this game does not. Feel free to cheat.
All code, 500 characters, next toot 🥱

Just looking at your code I think you could maybe save some characters by refactoring the btnp if block into a single btnp call and some bitwise math.

At this point I mostly just want #TweetTweetJam 9 to end so I can stop thinking about it.
I submitted 3 projects today.

2024-05-10 14:53:13

So given that I finished my #tweettweetjam 9 submission for today last night... I did another.
BellyFish uses left and right keys to swim and descend on prey. All code, 500 characters, next toot yada yada.

I pruned down my first #TweetTweetJam 9 attempt from yesterday into another 500 character game: Sophon Simulator 2024
Touch/mouse controls. All code in the next toot as usual.

I did another #TweetTweetJam 9 entry!
This one was a little rushed after a failure this morning, it's called DIE and it's a puzzle in 500 characters of code. As is customary I will prove this by posting the code in my next toot.
Check it out here:

I uploaded a second entry to #TweetTweetJam 9!
Wrote a maze generator and player controller which is entirely contained in 500 characters of code. I will prove this by putting the pico8 source in my next toot.

So hear me out here - what if your arbitrary lore goal was a boss battle with a sea monster?

I don't sell my games so I don't have to worry about having an initial push for marketing or anything but typically I get it working, release a v1, then if I'm ever stuck for something to do I add stuff for 1.1 etc
Also if I get really striking feedback or suddenly spot something glaringly wrong.
But my games, as a rule, are not that good anyway.
