Pico-8 Tweetcart Studies

Tweetcarts are PICO-8 cartridges whose code fits inside a single tweet. Basically, you can copy the code, paste it into a blank PICO-8 cart, and see the same effect that's shown in the original tweet.

Tweetcarts are really exciting examples of compact, efficient code that produces demoscene effects, so it's always interesting to try and understand how they work. Here I've tried to break tweetcarts down in a more readable form so that I can understand how they work, and hopefully you can find these breakdowns interesting as well!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email me or dm me.
