"elements" is a small 256 byte intro for the fantasy console "MicroW8 (v0.1.1)" that was written by my former colleague "exoticorn".
I was curious about MicroW8 since it is based on WebAssembly which allows me to use clang with C/C++ and has reasonable retro specifications. 256 byte intros are not my comfort zone and I am surprised it is even possible to get something running in this category using C. I named the individual patterns "vulcano", "tornado", "cloud" and "wave" so "elements" seemed fitting for the overall intro.

Super nice! Always awesome to see MicroW8 in the wild.
I'm impressed that you got this all working in 256b in C! For tiny intros like this I definitely recommend writing in CurlyWas - the inline/lazy declaration modifiers in particular are really really convenient for size optimization.
(Just realized this was from almost a year ago - not sure why Itch only recommended this to me now!)
Thanks! I was checking out some Fantasy Consoles and liked the fact that I could use C/C++ with it, so I gave it a try. I saw CurlyWas but I am just a bit too lazy to fiddle with it. I'd rather work towards a small game instead of squeezing the last byte out of a 256 byte intro. And for that I would sure prefer C/C++.
Love your music related products btw.
Got it, that makes a lot of sense! Maybe I'm overly fixated on the sizecoding aspect. :)
-- and thank you! Not much in the pipe right now but hopefully that changes at some point.
