Hey, nice job! I made a Super Hexagon tweetcart myself recently, but having just 280 characters I couldn't really do the game as much justice as you.
I noticed a couple of things in your code that could be optimized further, just in case you had to ax a really awesome feature in order to ship this:
- PICO-8 already has a built-in function that returns the number of seconds elapsed since the game started, time(), which even has a one-letter shorthand with the same name as the variable you used for that purpose: t()
- You don't need a 0 before the decimal in number literals
- You don't need spaces between arguments passed to functions
- You use pget and btn enough times that you save characters by assigning one-letter variables to them, like you did for cos and sin
If you reorder some more assignments and stuff I think it'd be doable to cram your game into 510 characters or so!
Thanks Tobi, being new to PICO-8 and tweetcarts that's some very useful info.
Your tweetcart version is incredibly impressive also, can't believe it's only in 280 chars!
