I’ve decided to take part. Here’s a screenshot of my progress for the first day:

wow. good for me that there won’t be a winner. I have text and boxes and lines and this won’t change much and I am still unsure I gonna finish in time.
Still enjoying the process so far!

Might as well share mine too! :D

A day and a half of progress, I have most of the basic mechanics working.
Wasm-4 has been very fun to write for, the 4 color limit is the trickiest one to work around but I’ve been learning to reuse!

I’ve always enjoyed writing code at the lower levels with fewer abstractions and I’ve been enjoying this even more than I expected. Wasm-4 did not disappoint, and I’m looking forward to the next jam before this one’s even a quarter of the way through!
