playable picross/nonograms in a postcart and a half! (450 characters)
it uses the symbols available in the PICO-8 font as the goal image, and uses some palette trickery to make it visible when you quit out :)
some symbols are unsolvable from individual row/column clues, some don't have a unique solution.
maybe smaller is possible but I'm happy enough with this. code in thread or on the BBS
CURSORS.P8
a little thing i wrote a long time ago, intended for a tweetcart but never quite small enough. through the power of postcart having a slightly higher character limit, i can post it here now!
and yes, you get your own cursor :)

"Pattern Recognition"
She’s at the screen and won’t let it go.
"We have to split, kid. Now!"
"Almost got it. It’s not random."
"They'll lock down the zone any moment."
"But I can see the pattern."
"THIS ZONE IS OFF LIMITS!"
