Pico1K Entry submitted! Came in at 1020 compressed bytes in the end, and was a ton of fun to make. Check it out on itch at sizescape.itch.io/qball
My high score is 348, let me know if you manage to beat it! :D
Thanks @liquidream.bsky.social for hosting this jam!

Making good progress on #pico1k!
Moved all of the sprite assets into code, smoothed the animations, and shrank a bunch of the logic code down, made it down under 1009 bytes compressed.
Now time to enter my favorite loop--each byte I remove gives me more bytes to add new stuff in. :D

Visited the SF Bay Model today, and this fine fellow is what the Army Corps of Engineers is trying to pass off as the sun.

Getting back in the #pico8 tweetcart seat, a bit of a sketch of an idea tonight, inspired by a demo I half-remember seeing, but can't find right now. I think it looks pretty neat.

Starting my next #crossstitch, maybe gridding on a 5 stitch count is overkill, lol

Finished, ironed and mounted! Procrastinated these last few steps a while, but it makes a big difference.

Finished my first 4 cross stitch kits and finally washed and ironed them! Happy how they turned out, but now what do I do with them? I probably should figure this out soon, since I already got more. 😀

Maybe extremely cold take? Pikmin 3's Mission Mode is better than story mode. The focused challenge and tight optimization loop is so fun.

Listening to NYT #HardFork top 100 tech rankings and it's absolutely deranged. Putting sundials and the Vine app on the same list? And somehow Juul is 20 ranks above boats?

Threw my journals from last year into Google's NotebookLM, and the generated Podcast is so positive, it's almost unbearable. Thank you, AI overlords, for being my own personal hype machine. ✨

Got an N64 Switch controller for Christmas, and dove back into Star Fox 64. I had forgotten how much this game jumps from easy rails shooter levels to absolute chaos, and it's a ton of fun. The N64 controller makes the all-range mode controls work so much better than the Switch controller.

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2024!

Great again this year, though I started late and was busy, so only managed to break top 1k 5 times. Puzzle 15 Part 2 was a fun one for stretching Sokobon-coding muscles, and makes for a nice ASCII visualization.

I used to overthink posts on the bird app. Probably should just start posting worse here.
