This is a tech demo from June of 2018. It is the fifteenth and last iteration of a file named "ds", after which point my inability to decide on a direction overpowered my interest in iterating further. Messy source code is available as a download for those interested, alongside GIFs of various iterations.

Published for the Fragment Jam, and made with PICO-8.

this feels like if someone with low iron and a fever took acid and then decided to stand up quickly

This is cool, nice work.

Interesting. How did you get pico8 to look like that?

there's a shader applied via re-rendering the pico-8 canvas in a separate webgl context; it's done with a small library i made specifically for this sort of thing: https://github.com/seleb/WebGLazy
