Last monday @FieldFX Monday Byte Nighj is UP on lcdz ! https://livecode.demozoo.org/event/2023_08_28_byte_jam_monday_night_bytes.html #livecode
#demoscene #tic80

Trying to use #tic80 from #fdroid on #grapheneos / #android, but it seems unusably slow and buggy. Anyone else have it working usably?

New #tic80 fantasy console release, if you're into that sort of thing! https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/releases/tag/v1.1.2729

I got a Miyoo Mini+ and looking I’m for game recommendations:

- PICO-8
- TIC-80
- Homebrew NES, SNES, GB, GBC and/or GBA games (including GB Studio)
- Worthwhile romhacks
- Anything else??

Yesterday @FieldFX Monday Byte Jam is available! https://livecode.demozoo.org/event/2023_08_14_byte_jam_monday_night.html #tic80 #demoscene #livecode

Tonight at 9PM BST the @FieldFX folks are having a splendid Byte Jam: 4 creative coders go head to head creating sweet visuals in an FFT-enabled #TIC80 while @ferristootsnow spins an exciting DJ set. 🎶

Make sure to check into https://www.twitch.tv/fieldfxdemo , see you all there!

ooh, but what are these?

Finally did this classic effect in #TIC80 (241 bytes after packing, didn't try to optimize it further).

Bonus points if you can tell me the proper name of this effect, I call them "proximitors". 😄

Last place, but finally did try and make at least something.

The Prism Duels are almost complete.

Not sure what I've done wrong here but I've managed to give Prism Violet a seizure.

Help, I'm building scrolling menus in #tic80. I also made the mistake of allowing menus to be multi-column, and now I'm stuck doing unreasonable amounts of maths. For every feature I implement, there are five new issues to fix.

Byte Jam from @evoke is available ! https://livecode.demozoo.org/event/2023_07_23_byte_jam_evoke.html #demoscene #demoparty #tic80

Ending the evening watching #ByteJam over at @FieldFX 🤗

#Tic80 #LiveCoding #DemoScene #Lua

May or may not be setting up a private kanban board for my messing around with #tic80. I'm afraid this might be escalating a bit more than expected.

Also, Lua is still very nice and comfortable. And so versatile.

Couldn't make it to @evoke , but submitted a little #TIC80 entry for the cool new 256 byte intro compo with the help of @ToBach 💖.

Made a code example for #tic80 : shooting bullets!

https://cxong.github.io/tic-80-examples/bullets

Shmups are great because they are one of the easiest genres to get started with, but this took a lot longer to make than expected, because it covers lots of techniques:

- spawning bullets
- collision between bullets and enemies
- despawning on collision, out of bounds
- sound effects
- cooldown using counters

if you haven't done #GameDev before, even if you're using an engine... it's not easy!

#PixelArt #MoonScript

I was planning on reading radio theory, but I really need to work more on my worldbuilding and ttrpg campaign. So instead I'm sitting here looking into basic game development and programming for the #tic80.

@AlphaBetaGamer did an article about my latest game!

it's a short one but still much appreciated: https://www.alphabetagamer.com/jimi-can-not-read-prototype-download/

That's it! Thanks to @jaywgraves for pointing me back to @lovebyteparty's Tiny Code Christmas.*

Great stuff if you're looking to do any retro fantasy console stuff. So well done! (And I've written and read a *ton* of programming tutorials.)

* Christmas not required
