Behind the Scenes
This is the first game I created on Pico-8. The code serves as an experimental playground where I tested various mechanics and features :)

I'm wondering if there's any difference in CPU usage when we manually detect situations where something has changed and then call methods in the _draw individually only in those cases.
I'm working on a game with many static elements and I'm considering whether it makes sense to constantly redraw everything or only the elements that have changed, for example in picross game.
