little thing I made that renders the Mandelbrot set (flashing lights)
dpad to pan
z and x to zoom

Simple and effective. Some CPU could probably be saved by using local variables, inlining the mset function, bit shifts, and using pset instead of rectfill when at max resolution, but the overall experience would mostly be the same.
What I especially liked about this is that the artifacts due to zooming beyond PICO-8's number precision lead to regular rectangles, nothing like the float based glitches seen on other platforms that use CPU floats.
A great way to visualize and remember that pico-8 uses fixed point 16.16 bits floats.
