3 Games
Merry happy all the things folks I've been trying to up my accessibility game dev skills on Pico8. I have 3 games hosted on my website: - "Ally Bird" - A11y take on flappy bird (shared before, new link) - "Grave Miscalculation" - Choose your own adventure / traveling salesman problem game - "Lawnsweeper" - My take on Minesweeper. I'm worried the controls are not intuitive, but trying to make "destructive" actions more intentional (you have to hold to open a tile). I also hacked the Pico8 menu hard on this one to make it accessible, would love feedback! They will work on mobile, but I don't think the live region will be there for mobile. Please have fun! Special shout out to @Space Cat for all the courses, support and general "oh baby" vibes!

MAZERACE
So i finished the maze game; it’s simple, it’s not perfect, but it’s DONE. I resisted the urge to keep reiterating it and just called it. I hope you give it a try and if you’d be so kind, leave a comment, good or bad! https://enzo23.itch.io/mazerace

Do you know if it's going to have an executable for different platforms like Pico8? i.e. Run on Win/Lin/Mac/Pi?

Game Engine Wishlist?
Hey, if you could improve/ add features to Pico-8, what would your number 1 request be?

Compiler optimization. I shouldn't have to worry about hitting token limits just for using variables and math approriately. I always believed good code is self-commenting. However I hit the token limit today and I was disappointed at how to get the count down: 1. Manually removing unused methods? No more nice libraries 2. Remove local vars, which leads to doing the math myself (instead of `line_num + line_height` just write `59` - really bad 'magic numbers' stuff

Ok now that the SpaceCat's out of the bag I have more: - Blurring - Pixel's are great, but let me do blurry stuff pls - Masking / clipping (I'm saying it again because I MEAN IT)

- Coroutines. Why? When? I use them in Kotlin all the time but Pico8??? Is there a dispatcher? - Cart data / save games - System flags - how to find them, not just "this flag does x" - like, how do I know to know that there is a flag for something or not? Sorry, I know I keep posting more here, but every time I look at a cheatsheet it makes me terrified that I'm doing things the wrong way

I'm an Android engineer, but I do a lot of iPhone, Internet of things and general foolery. My main interest is digital accessibility.
