First stab at #LovebyteTCC expert day 1 [Fire effect]This will be pretty sub-optimum, but it's a good start.- I'm relying on it running from the code window, so that the bottom line is seeded- I've made a design choice to plot y=calc(y+2) rather than y=calc(y+1) for bigger fire with a purple flue.- Unsure if the free loop from BDR is worthwhile#TIC80 / ~103 bytes---TIC=btn BDR=function(y)for x=0,239 do p=0 for d=0,8 do p=p+pix(x-1+d//3,y-1+d%3)end pix(x,y-2,p/9)pix(x,135,p)end end

#LovebyteTCC Day 2 [expert: Metaballs]I sacrificed quite a few bytes for some random dithering.

Catching up on my #LovebyteTCC Day 3 expert: "Connect the Dots"I'm not in the mood for code golfing, so this is - I dunno - code figure skating?Unoptimised, but 251b packed, at least! Might come back to this one at some 3D point 🙂

@mvu Portal / TIC-80 (https://tic80.com/play?cart=3538) and Poom / Pico-8 (https://freds72.itch.io/poom) are both technically brilliant.

Thanks @FieldFX organisers for this evening's Tillage, and those who put in to the showcase ♥️I joined the Byte Jam. It went a bit awry because the software versions didn't match, so colours went sideways and the overlay broke. I worked a little more to fix it.The idea was to have worms tilling some mud to reveal a message.#TIC80 #creativeCoding

Looking forward to seeing the delights at rsync demoparty this weekend!RiFT will have an entry in the Fantasy Console competition, and it's looking very elegant. My role: colour engineer 😄

Rumour is that there'll also be a curious entry by a new, totally never-been-seen-before demo group, THRiFT... eagerly compofilling their way to glory.

"Verisimilitude" #TIC80 ^RiFTSome fine polygon orchestration by Mantratronic- very organic but eerily unnatural. Complemented by a custom synth soundscape. Sturdy, elegant font by Decca. Mood colour washing from me.1st place in Fantasy Consoles at Rsync 2024.Live version recommended, if it plays well on your device: https://tic80.com/play?cart=3695YouTube version here: https://youtu.be/_RltFsuLuS0 - tho we do everything to encourage compression artifacts, so looks muddy!#demoscene #creativeCoding

"Belgian Greetz" #TIC80 ^THRiFT 👀(Rumours that this is a reskin of a previous joke intro are *greatly* exaggerated)Nah, this was fun! We heard on the riftophone there were fewer entries than ideal, so we pulled one of our cars in for a tyre change, did a respray, switched the annoying radio station and slapped the tailfin as it accelerated off out onto the track again.1.5hrs turnaround. A well oiled team effort! 💙3rd in Fantasy Console compo at Rsync 2024https://youtu.be/auW9LUb8alg#demoscene

Looking forward to Monday Night Bytes ByteJam tomorrow on #TIC80... it's been a while and my subconscious has been cooking an idea! My conscious thinks it might be over-ambitious, but they're the best kind - fly high or crash with style.Expecting an 8PM BST start on @FieldFX Twitch stream with music from @gsuberland.#livecoding #demoscene

Yeah. That #ByteJam went a bit sideways for me. Out of practice, way too ambitious, some banging against Lua, and without full debugging. Oh well!I spent a little extra time brushing it up towards the thing that was in my head.TBH, the stream gremlins were a bit of a blessing for me, since I didn't have much action on screen. 😄Thanks @FieldFX #livecoding #demoscene #TIC80

My favourite @revisionparty trivia:[EDIT: Needs more digging! See: https://chaos.social/@dojoe/114404052729125609]The logo is a circular barcode encoding a 40-bit value; a unique ID that the 'ShotCode' web service rerouted to a destination URLThis service and host website are well defunct (last active: 2007)The Revision logo is a cryptic artifact, reproduced in many digital releases from the party, absent of this context.A mystery in the demoscene archives that will await future historians.#demoscene

Fascinated by the language.'We are seeing significant signs of recovery' are the kinds of words you use when someone is in a coma. I suppose they're now at the point of complexity where they have to farm all their services back to life, with some crossed-fingers to help.
