A classic Pico-8 tootcart/tweetcart motif is to render flames. For this tootcart I wanted to create realistic looking flames, using Entropy Locking to achieve the desired effect. For this generator, the default starting seed is always "6", which creates the effect I intended. To see how other seeds (with different Entropy Locks, so to speak) render the flames, just click/tap the screen to generate a new random outcome. Some rare outcomes can be quite bizarre.
This piece is a companion piece to a previous tweetcart I made, called "BLUE": https://teia.art/objkt/390303
