@oceangrunge Capcom by a wide margin. I never grew up with SNK games, so about all I know about 'em is BUSTAH WOLF. Plus, Dan Hibiki is the best.

It's Regular-Ass Tuesday, huh? Sure, you can ask whatever probing questions you want. There's only one I won't answer...

@Kuro This IS my technical blog! 😄

The Pico 8 is here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

And it's all based on the engine of "a pico-8 shooter in 16 gifs," which you can download and mess around with here: https://ztiromoritz.github.io/pico-8-shooter/

Hey, it's almost a danmaku game now! https://witches.town/media/gMRIFWchDeiSyhWIDBQ

@kara_dreamer Those are very good criteria for a body to inhabit. :3

@icefox Initial results are inconclusive but promising! I gotta do a little more trig and finish implementing bullet delay before I can make sure, though.

@icefox Uhhhh... hm. That's an excellent question, which nobody appears to have tried before, judging by a quick google. Let's find out.

Wooo! Okay. Enemy bullets move, cause damage to the player, can be directed in arbitrary directions at arbitrary speeds, and can be erased with the charge shot. This is almost a playable game now! https://witches.town/media/HKL06-fpeAqb5OL9RXo

@lycaon I mean, I get you, but writing danmaku patterns in radians makes my head want to explode

Also the first draft of that jinx was "why the FUCK do I have to multiply everything by 2pi for it to come out... right... ohhhhhhhh"

why in the fucksville does pico8 work in radians...

Parasoft Eeve

(it's just a fluffball that nomfs on the corner of your shirt and dangles harmlessly, occasionally squeaking)

If you remixed the P5 battle theme with Sega Genesis instruments and the "GO" sample from Sonic 3, could you call it

Fast Surprise

Man, what I'd give for lazy evaluation on the pico-8. That'd make my life marginally easier... but also kinda go against the spirit of the whole thing.

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin'
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like sayin' lord I just don't care
But you've got the love I need to see me through

We are defined by what we aspire to be, and how we fall short of it.

If that sounds profound, it was just from the opening monologue of a futurebass/chillstep song, immediately followed by the OoT equipping-item-to-C-button noise.

@oceangrunge How do you feel about "HEY LADS REMEMBER SYLUX"? 😄
