It is a silly project so just have fun!

This is amazing.

glad you like it!

das cute :D

Hey <3 We realise this is an old project but we found a bug. Unsure if it's pico-8 or the cartridge itself.

Spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to do an animation and noticed a strange behaviour:

cls()

print(abs(-3)) --            3

print(5*abs(-3)) --       -3

print(5*abs(-3*1)) --   15


Anyway, this was delightful to try out <3

Hey there, glad you have fun!
The parser I wrote for this is far from feature complete so there are probably a lot of issue like this I'm afraid. :D
