A battle scene featuring the classic Gengar v Nidorino. I learned recently nightmare got removed as a move, and I'm kind of mad about it. It won't show up in the game I'm making, but here it is anyway.

After compressing down the 151 pokemon data, with sword and shield movesets, I've got 1709 / 8192 tokens, 25162 / 65535 characters, and 17626 / 15616 compressed characters. This means I won't have a .p8.png release, but a .p8 one should be fine.
This is a multi-part shader, actually, and I don't remember at all how I managed exactly to set this up. From my vague recollection, the "Pawn" object had a shader that applied an outline (it's made of multiple parts and I wanted it to be dynamic for effects), and there was a second pass that added an upside down sprite, which only revealed itself when the color matched the water colors. Nowadays, you can probably do a lot of this with stencils, I guess.
loading all 151 pokemon in less than a second
gibberish. This is 151 pokemon displayed as a single cursed string.
pokemon names fill the screen as it loads each of them
Two character sets, one for readable text (because I need to capture symbols like spaces and quotes) and one for encoding (so that it reads more like a single string, easily copypastable)
Example of my `_type` class. it has a schema defined in the class. This is a little non-standard compared to lua code generally, but the gist is there's a `new` function that works as a constructor. Passing a table to it will merge that table into the instance table, overriding the name and efficacy values if defined.
An example of the encoded string, and the equivalent raw data.
An @ symbol moves through a dungeon layout with brick tiles that light up as you move around. There's a small minimap displayed to the left side.
Vaporeon, 12x
First small (8x) pokemon, and all of the medium (12x) pokemon

function set_layer_1bit(layer_index, color, anti_color, transparent_anticolor) local layer = shl(0b1, layer_index-1) local palette = {} palt(0, false) for i=0, 15 do local c = band(i, layer) == layer and color or anti_color if(transparent_anticolor) palt(i, c == anti_color) palette[i] = c end pal(palette) end
The base 4 layers, ignore the wonkiness on layer 2, I dragged it weird.
An example shifting through four layers across the entire screen

A quick run through of some of the options in PONG DFECT, lots of values are modifiable from the ball count, size, paddle count, size, cpu accuracy, which side they're on, how many lanes they have, etc.

A turnaround of a character. Clever eyes might know who
