I'm working on a daily word puzzle game called Hinted. Wordle for people with half a brain. Streaks that are forgiving and a way to track your friend's progress.

LLMs have awareness for the time they are spawned into memory. But it's very limited, think about if you could use your brain to think, but only after someone asked you a question. After you think the answer, then you are brain dead (unconscious) until another question is asked.
Yes, you can write code in a separate file and then import it to cartridge with tic-80 console commands[1]
You don't have to do this manually every time, just make a shell script with multiple commands; e.g. this will import code, save and run the cartridge:
./tic80 --skip --fs="$PWD" --cmd="load cart.tic & import code main.lua & save & run
The other way is indeed to buy or build yourself a PRO version, it can work with cartridges in plaintext format.
Fair enough, it is impossible to know. I'm making an assumption based on the fact that the use of AI wasn't mentioned anywhere I could see, and people usually mention it.
