and this is what the final result looks like ✨ now i can easily play around with a lot of different variables so i'm super excited!!!

#pixelart #landscape picture for #amiga #16bit computer
16 colors
400x360 px
...and about 40h work in grafx2 with mouse (poor thing :/)

For my current game I want a bigger map than what #pico8 offers, so now I'm deep in the rabbit hole making my own editor with layers, doorways, and all sorts of things. 😅 When saving it is compressed and stored in the game cart where it is uncompressed when needed

One more #picotron data format for the road. pods are used to represent any structured data, and used by the clipboard, disk storage (each file is a pod), as rich text, and as inter-process messages. Don't know if I want to display pictures in the code editor [by default] though!

Why do they spell it "Colour", "Honour" and "Favour" in the United Kingdom?

Because Rick Astley is British.

happy birthday, computerfairi.es! 🎉

A little-known fact about Mastodon is that when you move your account, it gets put on a truck and then shipped to the new server. Here, for instance, are users employing I-195 to move between servers.

I put some fonts I've drawn for my games available on Itch. Since I'm clueless about fonts they're just image files for now, though: https://hempuli.itch.io/hempuli-font-bundle

What happens under the hood when plotting a #picotron pixel, in 12 steps. easy peasy lemon squeezy

Unfortunately it is almost unrecognizable from the functionality it is designed to enable, though! Later on I'll make a gif or something to visualize how this ends up as transparency in sprites, shadow rendering, and clipping masks etc.
