I come from a time when noobs were called lamers. Opinions are my own. Formerly @ Facebook, Sony ATG, Criterion Games. Also known as Manuel in some places. Fantasy console sizecoding: https://macario-moreno.itch.io/
Following tradition, here is an example of a Linux handheld device running #Picotron and this demo. This is the #clockworkpi #uconsole equipped with a Raspberry PI CM5. Capable beyond my dreams.
One last minute contribution to yet another edition of the #Pico1k jam hosted by the talented @Liquidream. My 1st attempt to a #Picotron production, using the significant power of userdata operations to implement bump mapping with directional and point lights, in 690 bytes of compressed code: https://macario-moreno.itch.io/bumpmap-1k
Another September, another #Pico1k jam organised by the unrelenting @Liquidream. Thanks to my lengthy commutes and pocketable Linux devices, here is my entry for this year: a humble homage to the genius of Tim Clarke's 1993 "Mars" intro for PC, in 972 bytes of compressed #pico8 code: https://https://macario-moreno.itch.io/mars8
Mars8 by Macario

A #pico-8 homage to the groundbreaking 1993 PC Intro "Mars" by Tim Clarke. Produced for the 2024 #pico1k jam.

@zep This seems awfully specific, and makes me think of the 2MiB used by the Lua runtime. I wonder whether that could be related and have some sort of explanation. The memory block (pointed by r0) seems to be in the heap rather that the stack (very different range from sp) but could also be static. Below is a stack trace, but I presume what is going on may have nothing to do with blitting despite the function names. Unless I am completely wrong and the 2MiB have nothing to do with lua.
@Liquidream As usual, this has been mostly programmed on my long rail commutes using a handheld device. This used to be the very capable PinePhone by @PINE64, but as of recently I have switched over to a vintage Motorola Droid 4 flashed with #maemo-leste, a @devuan - based branch of Nokia's maemo OS which performs impressively in an even smaller form factor.
I have been so tuned off social media recently that I only realised @Liquidream was running another #Pico1k 10 days ago! Luckily I have plenty of retro memories to borrow from, so I cobbled together a demake of the excellent Trailblazer for Commodore 64 in 1017 bytes of compressed #pico8 code: https://macario-moreno.itch.io/picoblazer-1k

Put together during my lengthy train commutes with the help of #pinephone by @PINE64, and @zep 's unending commitment to make #pico8 work in a variety of Linux platforms. Bonus points if you can tell the train line from the seats! 😉
From under a rock I pop up to answer @Liquidream 's call to the amazing #Pico1k jam. Here is Bonus Stage 1K, a humble homage to the genius of the Sonic bonus stages, in 1024 bytes of compressed #pico8 code: https://macario-moreno.itch.io/bonus-stage-1k
