Not quite in time to compress the code for #tweettweetjam but I did my darndest to make a tiny game during this week. A lil burger-maker! And it's honestly pretty fun! Might make this into something.

TwisterClicks & DontClickBackground

Coded #p5js

For the Game Jam, "TweetTweetJam 10": https://itch.io/jam/tweettweetjam-10, I coded two clicker games in P5js that followed the under 500 code character limit In both games.

The objective is to not click background, only the movingthe squares.

Got two entries lined up for this year's #TweetTweetJam. Both are written within 500 characters for #pico8

The first is a demake of the game A Dance of Fire and Ice, and the second is an aim trainer versus the CPU (also a bit like Osu without the music).

Another absolute banger #TweetTweetJam entry: TweetCatZip by kbones

Here's the latest version of Prime Time, where the background changes colour whenever you complete a level, so it is obvious you have a new objective.

Live now at https://dredds.itch.io/prime-time and I have updated the commented source in the devlog.

I have published the uncompressed, commented source code, describing the techniques I used to minimise the code.

#Pico8 #TweetTweetJam

A #Pico8 code minimisation tip that might be helpful if you are writing something for #TweetTweetJam:

Pico-8 defines 26 numeric globals with single-glyph names. Those numbers might be useful for something. Using the glyph takes only a single character, saving space compared to long literal values.

Here's a little Pico-8 program to print them all:

for k,v in pairs(_𝘦𝘯𝘷) do
if type(v) == 'number' then
printh(
k .. " = " ..
tostr(v,1) .. " / " ..
tostr(v)
)
end
end

A #Pico8 code minimisation tip that might be helpful if you are writing something for #TweetTweetJam:

Referring to an uninitialised variable is two characters shorter than using the nil keyword.

t[i]=nil (8 characters)

t[i]=z (6 characters)

You can use a character from the punyfont or kanji character set for the uninitialised variable to avoid accidentally using the name for something and breaking the logic.

#pico8 #sizecoding

A #Pico8 code minimisation tip that might be helpful if you are writing something for #TweetTweetJam:

Combining assignments into a single statement reduces token count but not character count:

x,y=1,2 (7 characters)

x=1 y=2 (7 characters)

You can remove whitespace between statements if doing so doesn’t merge the end of one and the start of the other into a single identifier:

x=1y=2 (6 characters)
