Added a "photo mode" to my little #pico8 flight sim. You can also use it to explore the map in general. This also means I can check the placement of things without having to take off and fly over there. - ThreadSky

How are you generating so much world in so little cartridge space? 🤯

It uses a system where map tiles expand out into 8x8 tile "textures", and then those tiles also expand out into 8x8 textures.

So a 64x64 map effectively expands out to 4096x4096 tiles.
Which at 1 tile = 1m scale allows for a 16km^2 map.
(With a lot of limitations.)
