TripPICOchu
A hands‑on learning tool from VHS Cologne’s TalentCAMPus, designed for young locals, refugees and asylum seekers.
A trippy Pico8 game from my TalentCAMPus Workshop for VHS Cologne, where youngs from a variety of cohorts —locals, refugees and asylum seekers — were introduced to Lua, pixel art, sound design, and basic game design and interaction through creative exploration.
I guided them in using basic functions in Pico8, creating and tweaking experiments, and later bringing some part of this game alive. Later I added personal improvements.
Not only the overall experience was quite fulfilling, I — as a Brazilian — am quite happy to promote Lua, a programming language developed at PUC-Rio.

The circfill on the pokeball makes my eyes bleed when it's at a high radius, but then everything turns red so it's not so ba

The goal is to bleed a bit - but not that much.
