Game hobbyist and creator in spare times
i am from generation X, born in 1972 and i saw video games begins. That's why my Pico-8 games looks like 70s and 80s arcade games esthetic. Old school games still looks good.
Mainly inspired by Midway's Eugene Jarvis's flash color text style. Almost Namco/Nintendo arcade display style. Almost Atari 2600 and Apple II+ display style. Some example of what kind of game I like to do. I don't copy modern game's style. I stay in my time!
I just discovered today that when I open one of my cartridge and run it CTRL-R, the game doesn't run only show terminal with prompt on full screen with /ram/cart:_
it's seems that we can't assign _draw, _update main loop function to another function.
i.e.
_update=title_update
_draw=title_draw
does not work anymore in this latest 0.2.0 updates...WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?

My first arcade game on #picotron!
controls: left, right O(z) to fly)
instruction-gameplay: see the attract mode.
Enjoy!
rev 2: Since update on #picotron 0.1.0C the MAP() function stopped working and draw nothing. Hopefully the MGET() is back! So I fixed it with custom MGET() to SPR(MGET(x,y)...) to temporary solve it! @zep got another fix to do for 0.1.0d.
rev 3: added demo to attract mode and improved egg's sprite and enemys flying move.
rev 4: fixed some graphics et level map changes.
rev 5: Nice background obsession drive me to apply this. :)
rev 6: redefined the screen display (thanks to camera() and clip() functions!)
player's birdhead now starts levels at bothom (not get random killed/stomped by others on level's starts!)

Me as Lostcadesoft will be back on game making on this new cool #picotron. This is my snippet for use of sprite based font! (originaly snippet by @thattomhall on Pico-8) This is the font I'll use on my first games's release on #picotron. He're my share, use it if you like it. I love that classic Namco/Nintendo font!
-The SPRINT x/y cordinate are in 8x8 boundaries caracter block.
-uppercase letters only supported.
If some of you guys got something better about custom 8x8 retro font snippet, up to you!
Enjoy!
