@mtrc i need to learn the API to see what i can do (for example, can i use sprites? camera?) so just used a few basic things i know from Pico-8 to test out. i did this within 2 minutes of opening it up so it's very basic! looking forward to more documentation so i can dig in further. i haven't tried demo mode yet but am assuming i can learn a lot from that too.

@exquisitecorp you can use almost all of the api, but some things need extra support - for example, I don't reset the camera after running user code, but I can add that in a patch maybe :)
