some 'party'cles using the #pico8 palette in #swiftplaygrounds

@p01 it's not perfect, has way more code and i'm not really sure of the maths but an homage to @p01 in #swiftui #playgrounds using #8bit pixels

3D HELIX 💫 #pico8 #demoscene effect in 275 bytes #tweetcart #tweetjam Hope you like it. It was really fun to tweak and go from first version over 400 bytes without extrusion to 275 with vertical tilt and extrusion. ♻️❤️ to share the love ^____^

zoomer from an old #pico8 #tweetcart (sorry, lost the originator) ... converted to #swiftui #playgrounds and #8bit pixels ... with a little bit of screen shake in the #wormhole

Moved onto #swift #playgrounds. The #TimelineView animation makes it simple to update a view, canvas or in this case an image bitmap array (that scales). As always like to recreate @guerragames #pico8 #tweetcarts to get started.

Attempted #retrogame remake of #Amiga #SWIV first stage in javascript might be fun. Game-map from hol.abime.net/2240/gamemap. No sprite sheet out there so working through splitting it all out in #aseprite.

@mattdesl And the #pico8 code in #javascript with my #8Bit library attempt.

@mattdesl My #learningtocode functions to get it working.

Researched for weeks for a simple #javascript animated #GIF encoder. Nothing but old complicated libraries, and then found github.com/mattdesl/gifenc. Simple to use and understand. Thanks @mattdesl.

@sid_lambert Trying to recreate some of it in the browser ...

NEW: A homage to Kick Off, one of the great video games of all time. Available on mugs and tees. Perfect for the Atari, Amiga and Spectrum ultras this Christmas… 👀➡️: bit.ly/30wi66f

Into the deep end with @shiffman's* vectors for my #kickoff2 #LearnToCode. Next up is his seek algorithms, and some football tactics. *caveat: not using #p5js just plain #javascript #html5 #canvas but great videos to keep going back to.

#javascript #html5 #canvas 240 x 180 #pixel2d | #kickoff2 sprites | #pico8 extended palette

... javascript ... canvas ... pixel data array ... pico8 inspired ... back to 1980s basic via @codinghorror tweet ... lunar lander ... now teaching me forty years on

@nicklockwood @twostraws I guess learning at pixel level it is more tangible to me having owned a TRS-80 in 1982, and found pico8. Retro Rampage is the best I have found to date to draw pixels in Swift. And have subscribed to @twostraws.

@nicklockwood Trying to learn Swift via #RetroRampage by @nicklockwood via javascript createImageData recreating #pico8 pixels. Desperately trying to simplify Nick's Tutorial1 down to his bitmap canvas with a simple draw()/update(). Failing. Any pointers please ?

@von_rostock Extra thumbs up for the "Not great, not terrible" reference.

"Not great, not terrible" You enter the reactor chamber to investigate strange clicking sounds. The sight of jumping control rods turns your stomach. This is pure techno but you can't dance. 280 bytes #pico8 #tweetcart code below #generative #codeart #proceduralart #pixelart
