septomin@mogwai_poet at first I read G_SINCEREST as one word and could only think about where the Great Pumpkin appears
@septomin Very good 😁
But oof, that's the optimization thing that bugged me most, that to save tokens I had to take variables that used to be members of the player class and made them globals. It works because there's just one player, but it feels bad conceptually.
@mogwai_poet I kind of weirdly like the "permission" out of necessity to write bad code - at least not having done anything on Gordy's scale
@septomin Yeah Pico-8's constraints are a big deal
