mx*=.7
my*=.7
?"\fb웃",x,y

I am PRETTY new to pico-8 (2 days only), and You way of coding is very compact. I don't get the \fa \a, etc. You make it look so simple and short. lol. Not even using the default functions (init/update/draw).
I am amazed checking your code. :) (And pluzzed) lol.
Thanks for sharing it.



That’s the style of tweetcarts! These are made to fit in one or two tweets, as a challenge. There’s a guide on the bbs to help decipher them (and write your own).

The escape codes you’re mentioning are documented here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico-8_manual.html#Appendix_A
