This is a demake of the infuriating "Beaver Bother" minigame from Donkey Kong 64. The minigame was a particular source of torment to Hbomberguy, a YouTuber who recently ran a wildly successfully charity livestream of him completing Donkey Kong 64 to raise money for the UK charity Mermaids, who support trans children and their parents. I created this to celebrate.
For everyone unfamiliar with PICO-8, the [O] button is Z on the keyboard and the [X] button is X.
It's still not quite there, but it's playable and almost as frustrating as the original so I think it's worth sharing.

Disclaimer: This is a trash game made for the joy of making, much in the same vein as Bert: Get That Sports! So don't play it if you're looking for a real game, and also maybe don't play it if you have epilepsy problems. I dunno.

In order to save on some tokens, I put configuration number values into a string and then parsed that string. I then tried to use one of the values as a table key and it barfed on me.
Turns out, even though math functions recognize a string number as a number, using it as a table key will fail. You need to convert that string number into a integer for it work as a table key. My solution was to just add zero to number and it turned out okay.
t={"apple","orange","line"} a="1" printh(a+10) -- good, returns 11 (integer) printh(t[a]) -- bad, returns FALSE a+=0 printh(t[a]) -- good, returns "apple" as expected |
All in all, it makes sense but I had never come across this before somehow. But seems kind of weird that Lua will let you be lazy with numbers for math but not for other things.

Visualizer of the Lorenz Attractor.
Rotate x and y axises with arrows.
Toggle boundingbox and axises with X. Toggle long (700) or short (20) tail with O.
3D projection tries to scale and fit complete attractor in screen dynamically.
Enjoy! It's MATHEMATICAL!
