PICO-8 is fun. I spent a good few months writing Tweetcarts, little PICO-8 Lua demo programs that fit in tweets. You had to record the GIF manually, so I made a bot to take your tweets and run the code, replying with the GIF.

After months of work, I released my bot just a few hours before someone had planned to release theirs. We'd both spent a lot of time on this problem and he was sort of bummed out, but we both released our bots and learned from each other. (Neither works now after the Twitter API change)

My bot:

His bot: https://x.com/TweetCartRunner
