Idk if you can do 1-pixel sprite from TIC-80 code, but instead you can color 1 pixel and update it's position when key is pressed.

Here is a poked 1-pixel sprite for TIC-80. I think it’s pointless, but poking in a more complex sprite might be doable.

I just wanted to try it out and provide a working example.

-- Fill a sprite with zeroes
for i = 0,31 do
    poke(0x4000+i, 0)
end
-- Poke a palette 9 pixel in the sprite
poke4(0x8000, 9)
x=50
y=50

function TIC()
    y=y+1
    x=x+1
    cls()
    -- Sprite with 0 as transparent
    spr(0,x%240,y%136,0)
    print("Poked sprite")
end

Hey Jim! Yes, you're right about that. We don't allow spritesheets in the traditional sense, but if you can poke in some sprite art from the code, that's just fine! :)
