- I too had a phase in my life when I thought "saying something but not really meaning it, guys, honest" is brilliant satire

- demotool PICO-8 larkstongue by Matt Current [web]
- I'll have to look into that. Although, right now it bruteforces through six options (left-to-right mapping and Hilbert mapping, then RLE, Huffman or both) and for now, that takes an insignificant amount of time :)
I'm going to try LZ4 as well. I tried LZW before, and it didn't really do well against RLE + Huffman in terms of compression ratio per code size. I'm not really looking for speed, as the PICO-8 has 2 megabytes of Lua memory and you can realistically just decompress everything as soon as the cart loads. - isokadded on the 2020-05-10 18:56:38

- I haven't tried the zigzag pattern. I did try the Z-order curve, and at least with my small sampling of test assets, it was actually worse than just a simple left-to-right mapping.
I should see if that zigzag pattern is better, and I am planning to expand Larkstongue to be modular, in a way, with support for several mappings and compression algorithms, with the packer including the ones that are most efficient for that particular set of assets in the cart. - isokadded on the 2020-05-09 17:58:02

- Larkstongue is an asset packer for the PICO-8, written in Python. It can extract raw cart data from a .p8 file, compress and pack assets into the cart data of a .p8 cart, and generate code for unpacking that data.
Current features:
- Extracts any cart data area
- Special extract function for bitmaps with automatic cropping
- Generates loader code according to the user's specifications
- Hilbert curve mapping for bitmaps
- Run length encoding
- Huffman coding
Larkstongue is currently in early public alpha, so there will probably be a lot of quirks still. Remember to keep backups of any carts you use it on!
Give it a try! Do try to break it and tell me how you broke it 🙂 - Extracts any cart data area

- demo Windows hard as steel by Homo Gay Faggots
- Co-creator of the soundtrack here, and this is not my proudest moment. One of the team behind this demo actually is gay, but of course, that doesn't mean this demo is any good - it's still a sophomoric piece of shit, based on cheap, thoughtless laughs. I'm straight myself, and I realize now I'm specifically not in a position where I should have contributed.
I wouldn't make this demo anymore. I hope I know better, and I try to do better. - sucksadded on the 2020-05-01 18:37:00

- demo Windows Dreamcatch(); by Humane
- Great job! One of my favourites in the compo. A bit unpolished, but that's also a good thing, makes the end result feel more raw.
Brilliant soundtrack too. First I thought it's by, well, someone else, but of course, no artist owns 7/8 or any other time signature, so in this case, evoking perhaps the most celebrated producer in the genre is definitely a testament to Tusk Mite's skills.
See you at Simulaatio? ;) - rulezadded on the 2020-03-02 13:19:59
- demo PICO-8 Orbys by POD
- If there was any doubt about the PICO-8 as a demomaking platform at the time, this blew it all to smithereens. Fittingly coded by Zep himself. Huge respect for all your work!
