That seems really cool! What other popular programming language would you consider is pretty close to Pico-8?
Pico8 uses the Lua programming language, personally I don't know a lot of languages similar to lua. The closest thing I can think of is python.
Oh, I know Lua! I've heard about this language when I was watching Source Engine videos I think. Either way, you've made a really cool game and I hope to see you in the next gamejam!
