It's 33 days until the lovebyte demo party (9-11th February 2024)!
I recently got back into TIC-80 effects coding a bit and the lovebyte orga invited me to contribute to the 40 days countdown - each day a 256byte sizecoded effect - and here it is! The cart will be released as part of a big pack with everyone elses contributions at the event.
Now to actually making a prod to enter that's not just a rehash of this…
<pre><code> blocks, and I'm not happy with how these look for long lines that overflow, and thus cause a scrollbar. On the other hand, I don't just want to force them to wrap, because that also looks confusing IMHO.
In a computer magazine I read often, they do put a small arrow at the end of lines that are force-wrapped to fit the page layout, to make it clear that it is just a visual wrap. I quite like that formatting, but replicating it on the web seems to be complicated. This page has the best implementation I've seen yet, but a) requires wrapping each line in a <div> and b) puts it at the end of the container, not right behind the wrapping point. The first would be ok, I could add processing to the site code to automatically add those, the second I need to investigate if it can be changed or not.
