Long, long overdue: Prism Warriors now has a scrolling background for the main levels! Hopefully it suggests flying over a cityspace without being *too* minimalist.

I've just discovered by complete accident that Ctrl+Enter will instantly run your #TIC80 project without having to go to the console and type "run". I didn't know that! That should save me a little bit of time when playtesting.

Prism Warriors DX is now available to wishlist on Steam! It's currently scheduled for a Q4 2025 release, and while there's still a lot of work to do, I'm confident I can get it ready in time.

A glimpse at Prism Warriors' bullet pattern encoding system.

Prism Indigo had 91 patterns encoded. Prism Warriors has 198 and I haven't even finished the final boss or programmed most of the enemies yet. That's how much more intricate the bosses are this time around.

(I'm sure this looks completely indecipherable but I promise you I can understand and explain what all these parameters do if asked)

Prism Indigo has been patched to v1.7.1, fixing the dialogue issue I mentioned the other day along with a couple of other tweaks. Check the...

I've just realised that one of the screenshots I used on Prism Indigo's Steam page has a blatant dialogue error where the wrong character is shown as speaking, which will have been there the whole time

I am screaming internally

Finally started work on the final boss of Prism Warriors. I do the bosses first because their patterns are naturally more intricate, so working on them lets me expand and fine-tune the pattern generation systems, giving me more options to work with when creating regular enemies.

My #pico1k entry, Minisweeper, is finally complete! Once I compressed the whitespace, I had just enough bytes left over to implement a second, smaller grid size as well! Try it out before you tackle the full-size grid!

Okay, so that thing I said about accounting for the possibility of two mines being generated on the same tile...? Yeah, the way I was trying to do that wasn't working. Turns out you can't fiddle with the control variable of a Lua for loop while inside the loop. Who knew?

I'm now using a repeat-until to continuously re-roll mine locations until I hit a blank space. It's somehow cost me 11 extra bytes but at least the game is working now. #pico1k

My #pico1k entry is complete except for an aggravating bug where it isn't generating the correct number of mines, which makes the game unwinnable. I'm already accounting for the possibility of two mines being generated on the same tile, so it's not that. I'll have to have a closer look later.
