I'm at #shibuyapixelart2025 in Shibuya tomorrow (Sunday 21st) with @picopicocafe.bsky.social ~ we have Galaxy Club stamps! Event info & tickets: pixel-art.jp/spa2025

[Tokyo] #picotachi vol.76 at @picopicocafe.bsky.social September 26 (Friday): www.picopicocafe.com/index_en.html

Starts 7pm / talks from 8pm / free entry / cafe is open from 3pm. DM us if you'd like to show something you're working on or thinking about.

@picopicocafe.bsky.social and I will be at #shibuyapixelart2025 this Sunday (Sept 21st) 11am~6:30pm at the Shibuya Stream hall. Come say hi! We're on the fourth floor, showing Galaxy Club, Modern Monster, XYZINE & Picotron. More info: pixel-art.jp/spa2025

Unsaved changes asterisk for #picotron 0.2.0i -- it watches an optional hint function passed to wrangle_working_file() for possible changes (e.g. when the undo stack position changes) and occasionally compares with the last saved version to confirm. In this GIF I'm undoing back to the saved state.

Folder-wise anywhen browsing for #picotron 0.2.0i: add /@ to get a list of days & times the contents of the folder changed, and then view (and run!) the files as there were at that point in time.

Read-only, of course (but you can drag-and-drop from the past into the present).

Working anywhen into standard #picotron path semantics ~ add /@ to the end of any local file or cartridge path to get a directory of changes by day/time.

#pico8 0.2.7 is up!

WIP #picotron anywhen:// listings: a single file can be viewed as a folder containing every point in time it was modified (by month/day).

The different versions are treated just like regular files and can be run straight out of the anywhen:// folder (as in the gif).

I'll be at #pixelartpark with @picopicocafe.bsky.social this Sunday (Aug 3rd) at Osanbashi Hall in Yokohama // pixelartpark.com/events/pap8/

We have zines, t-shirts, fantasy machines, and new Galaxy Club stamps. Drop by booth M-4 and say hi!
