I got my kids to switch over from using PICO-8 to TIC-80; woo. In the end it was the support seeing more columns of code at a time that did it.

With the older one I'm able to mostly just advise and point him at tutorials. With the younger I'm doing most of coding and leaving the maps/graphics to him, but that means I get to use #fennel.

@technomancy so tic is basically an open source clone of pico?

@MightyPork at first glance it looks like a clone, but imo it's more nuanced than that; tic has support for multiple languages and some tools that make graphics editing a lot more pleasant beyond just being able to see more pixels at once.

the dev is very friendly and open to contribution too. really the only downside is the smaller community.
