Make perfect snowflakes and listen to lovely holiday music
Created for the 2024 PICO-8 Advent Calendar
Thanks to @bikibird for organizing the Calendar and providing feedback
P.S. If you'd like to use any of the music from this cart, let me know and I can post the songs separately -- songs 2 and 3 are buried in spritesheet/map data so a bit hard to get at.
This is really neat and really satisfying to use! One feature that I think could be cool is if you could pick how many radial mirrored sections there are (like being able to make a snowflake with a different number of points).
That's an interesting idea! I think snowflakes in nature always have six points but it would be cool to experiment.
I did at one point try changing the drawing so you could go off onto a branch of the snowflake and draw sub-branches, which added more possibilities. But it felt too complicated and I couldn't figure out a control scheme that wasn't horribly unintuitive so it didn't make it in.
Wonderful little toy!
the great selection of music really adds the the experience :)
i also might try chewing through this code to figure out how you made the flake rendering, 'cause it seems quite interesting
I don't think this is a snowflake anymore...
nice cart! here's a real one:
The music is fantastic.
And I'm creating some beautiful snowflakes.
It's making me feel very festive!
I'd like to be able to save a collection of snowflakes, and then cycle through them while the music plays.
This is amazing and legit has made my day, thank you for sharing it -!
i always thought these were just an assembly line thing. i have a lot more respect for snowflake companies now
