Love this. Demo was a big influence on my when I was first learning coding as a kid. All those demos! So cool.

It would be nice if there was a version of AoC where the puzzles stayed small and didn’t progressively get more difficult until it becomes a time sink and you’re ignoring your family because damnit the bug is in here somewhere…

Ahem.

This is nice.

The old Advent of Code puzzles are still online, so you could start in 2015 and do day 1, 2016 day 1, and so on.

"Tiny Code Christmas is an event to help you take your first steps in demoscene sizecoding with Lua based fantasy consoles like TIC-80 and PICO-8!"

Also #lovebyte on ircnet. The two rooms are bridged, though I haven't participated much outside of watching occasionally.

Wow, such a fun way to introduce oneself to a new environment. Kudos for the idea and bringing it to fruition for others to enjoy and follow.

Haven't strayed from JS code golfing yet - this is a great opportunity to learn how to play with the TIC-80 and PICO-8!

I watched the first three days, and they were produced really well. The explanation of the code, and the room for experimentation was divided really well.

Great implementation, I could see some younger kids having a lot of fun with this for example.

Perfect :) Love it.

Great idea !
