ok @codl helped me realize i can use a loop and clip to pretend pico8 has scanlines and i made this computerfairi.es/media/WtiU5T1

i made it a little better
here's the cartridge because i don't have anywhere better to upload it pastebin.com/FizWZEf6

@squirrel Depends which version, the Dante one has a big frozen lake of stuff in the middle

@squirrel so you've got the moving water, all you'd need to add is some wavy text, some music, and cram it into an arbitrary number of bytes and you've got a demo!

@troubleMoney the code is so ugly any actual programmer would probably laugh at it

there's a lot of math that could be simplified but i'm not smart enough to even know what it's doing right now

i just fiddled with numbers until i got the results i wanted

@squirrel I don't know, the code looks reasonable enough to me, although then again I'm not an actual programmer

@noelle @troubleMoney i'm sure it'd look better if i actually stopped to think proper values to put in the sines instead of just random numbers
