Reminds me of the menu of Big Red Racing game from the 90s.

So much fun with friends after school.

This is so very PICO-8. Loving the creativity coming out of pico sketches!

Oh great, there goes my entire morning. Going to have to tell my boss I am sick or something and won't get everything I said I would done...

That's one of these ideas I wish I had come up with. It sounds fun to program, fun to use and even potentially useful to make cutesy gifs.

I wasn't familiar with PICO8, it seems to effectively be a faux-retro console emulator that you can use as a sandbox to build programs (that can then be exported to a web player, which is quite nifty): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico-8

Unfortunately it's a proprietary platform.

Who would have thought some wobble would add so much to the experience. This is wonderful and I don't think it would be half as good if it didn't wobble.

It's $15 to be able to write programs for the platform, but you can export them to html5 to make available for others to play online for free. There's a pretty large library of such games hosted on pico-8's website.

There are some open-source alternatives like TIC-80 and PixelVision8. Personally, I'd only recommend them over pico-8 if $15 is a serious barrier or open source is an absolute must. They all have their various strengths and weaknesses, but pico-8 seems to be the best optimized for pure, unadulterated fun.

could anyone explain what this means "BTW I had no idea CTRL+key and TAB had their own ORD values" I did a search but got nothing useful.

Reminds me of Dr Katz animation:

I believe they called their technique wobblevision.

I haven't tried it out so I can't speak to the quality of it but there's the LIKO-12 as a free alternative: https://liko-12.github.io
