Tweetcart Relay is when we receive a tweetcart from someone else as either a GENTK or OBJKT, and then modify it to make our own new tweetcart using their pre-existing code and/or ideas. Eventually it's out hope to have many relay chains going on with many people, anyone at all who likes to make tweetcarts or wants to learn how :)

A tweetcart is a PICO-8 cart where the source code fits entirely within one tweet.

My process with this tweetcart was to make small changes to the previous tweetcart code, but big differences to the output.

As I like to say "Code goes in, magic comes out!"

For such a small amount of code, there are some real variances with both palettes, dither effect and speed. Enjoy!
