QUEST
QUEST has been hailed by critics as "the most exhilarating 299 characters of source code I have played today" and "a true example of minimalism...well definitely not a false example".
Features include:
- Dynamically hard-coded sound effect(s)!!
- Full English dialogue!!
- Fit-on-one-screen source code!!
(This was created as part of #TweetTweetJam in which the prompt was to make a game using fewer than 560 characters of code.)
Here is the source code (for PICO-8):

the sound effect(s) is/are my favorite part
Hmmmm... 299 is too much, could you rewrite in 298?
Cool idea! It looks like you're combining a print function with a conditional branch, I've got to know - how is that working?
thanks!
yeah, are you already familiar with the commonly used fake ternary in Lua: “x and y or z”?
x is interpreted as a boolean value there, but y and z can be any type, so in this case they are strings, and the value that comes out of that is given to the “print” function. does that make sense?
I wasn't familiar with that, but it's good to know! Thanks for the explanation!
i'm not kidding when i say this is one of my fav games of all time. top 1,000 for sure
A masterpiece. :P
