pico8bot's greatest animations

@pico8bot is a Twitter bot that generates a random mathematical formula, then plots it using the Pico-8 graphics palette. The Pico-8 is a "fantasy" virtual video game console with a 128x128 pixel display, but one for which people write real games.

The formulas use x, y, and t as input, where t is a time variable, so most of the images are animated, though the preview images below are not. The Pico-8 programming language is Lua, so I believe the code from this bot is just directly executed in Lua.
