Thanks for posting, if anyone has any questions about Tiny Code Christmas, feel free to ask.

It's not too late to start, there's no time limit. It's all very informal so you can start anytime and the videos and website will stay up. Checkout #lovebytetcc on Mastodon to see what people are up to, the discord is also very welcoming and active if people are stuck and need help.

This looks great, will probably take a stab at this with TIC-80 right after I hit "submit" here.

BUT ALSO: I've also been curious about the Uxn/Varvara stack for a while, too. Do you happen to know how well these challenges would translate to that stack?

The creator of Uxn/Varvara is actually doing TCC again this year and they have published code so you can take a look. Lots of approximations for avoiding square roots and trig. Good discussion on the discord about it.

That looks quite cool, I had been thinking about a way to get into byte sized programming. How much time should be dedicated each day to complete it?

I'd say that if you have some programming experience, about half an hour would be reasonable to implement and understand each tutorial - but there's a lot more to be had squeezing or polishing if you have the time.

Also, it doesn't matter if you do some late, or decide to skip any.

Highly variable based on your previous programming experience but it’s designed to not take up too much of your time.
