@otrain13 Thanks!
It's inspired from @TRASEVOL_DOG amazing contributions with a bit more of a "dirty" look to it.

Not tweetsized, I tried to shrink it down without compromising the look but couldn't get it to 140. I guess that if the screen was interesting enough before running it, you could get rid of the print statement and make it fit.

Anyway, I think the effect is nice enough to post, I love spirals! :)

Here's the first decently cool thing I've managed to fit into less than 140 characters. A variation on the basic Langton's Ant algorithm.

o={{0,-1},{1,0},{0,1},{-1,0}} f=0 x=64 y=64 cls() while 1 do c=pget(x,y) f=(f+c+1)%4 pset(x,y,6+c%4) x+=o[f+1][1] y+=o[f+1][2] end

Originally the pset() didn't have the +6 offset or the mod 4, but those seemed to be the magic numbers that led to a little bit of cool structure forming before the whole thing descends into chaos.

EDIT: Wait! Changed a few numbers around and got something way cooler.

Loving the Fireball, Gamax !

Zep, I think you should totally make a TWEET category for SPLORE. The rules are, 140 chars or less.

Also, would it be possible for you to make a button so in addition to being able to run the cart in the browser, you have the option of running it in the installed PICO the user has purchased ? I know you can find or do it in SPLORE, but this would be different.

This would perhaps require a Firefox plugin you write. A button would appear next to the screen shot, "Execute."

You click it and your own PICO from your HD is run with the contents of the cart you are seeing Online. The advantage is clear. As when you run a cart online currently, even by pausing it with ENTER, if you press ENTER outside the focus, like writing a message, it is still registered in the window.

Running the cart in the true EXE would not have this problem, you would have the added advantage of no 'jerkiness' from the browser, and you could immediately view the source code for it without having to download it first.

Also maybe ALT-F4 will only shut down if you are in the FILER mode (not code, image, map, audio, or music). Optional, "Are you sure ? [Y/N]"

With some compression tricks from @sean, I was able to write Conway's Game of Life on one pico8 page. We got it down to 283 characters, and I just decided to make it a single page of the code editor.

I know it won't "fit in a tweet", but I thought I'd share it here anyway.

140 chars. Interestingly you can copy+paste escape chars in the PICO-8 code editor and it will replace them with the actual wide chars, but when you copy+paste to external text (e.g. a tweet) it puts the \NNN back in. So this code can actually be 134 chars in-editor but not in-tweet. With the extra space I could add a -3 to P and hide the popping top edge.

a={}::s::cls(3)for y=0,25 do
a[y]=a[y]and a[y]+1or y*5srand(y)p=a[y]%130
?"\149",rnd(127),p,11
?"\144",60,p,15
?"||",60,p,4
end
flip()goto s

hey RhythmLynx, nice to see this thread back!
you can replace "\144" by "--" :)


This topic is one of the best things I've ever found online. Here's my first try, a drunkard's walk --

r=64w=127x=r y=r
while 1 do

if(q>2)x+=rnd(q) y+=q
if(q<2)x-=q y-=rnd(q)
x%=w y%=w r+=1
flip()end

I had to keep it short to fit those hashtags in.
