Onboarding is an important part of your game. Yeah, yeah. Here's mine. I'm pretty sure you'll figure out the rest on your own.

I updated the fishing minigame in my space sim. Now, you can try to beat your previous high score while enjoying some cozy fishing. #GameDev #Picotron

There are just nine more tasks left on my to-do list for my space sim, Haulers. I'm getting there. #GameDev #Picotron

I'm also working on a card game. Um, this is what it looks like right now. It's not really a game yet, but at 2.6 mb, I think it's the biggest #picotron game so far.

The reason for the size is it contains the complete Cartae Mirabiles, by the incredibly talented Cerise Pomme, 294 cards from various games, all unified. So, I just have to build the game around that.

Ah yes, the 5 essential elements of the universe. #picotron

telnetoid one-liner in #picotron 0.2.0e using input() and sockets

Interactive terminal programs for #picotron 0.2.0e: input() blocks execution until something is entered (or returns nil if escape is pressed).

I always enjoy testing process killing code

Part of making movement consequential has to be a good food clock. I'm trying a periodically-spawning enemy type.

Here's where they spawn. A spawner flashes if it's the source of the next spawn.

If you're near an EMP bot, it will blast an EMP that drains your energy.

Hi, I'm Maya Zimmerman, a very small-time game dev and trans woman. My brain has some disorders and interesting stuff about it, some diagnosed.

For game dev work, #picotron is my engine of choice and I will gush about it whenever I can.

Added energy drain when digging and energy pickups.

15x15 is feeling a little dense; digging in most directions will yield a room. Maybe expand?

Might try enemies next. Also want to add some sort of loot that would drive "push your luck" exploration.
