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.
ooh this looks excellent fun, thanks for posting!
Damn, I wish I had known about this earlier.
I submitted it, but it wasn't upvoted.
It was also submitted last year - I thought it looked familiar!

For anyone who did it last year, please take a look again - there's a whole load of new expert challenges and extra effect tutorials to try.
Thanks for posting! I tried a Show HN and it got nowhere.
Too bad - this looks really fun!
You can start at any time
Loved this!!
I found Tiny Code Christmas last year. It was easier for me to get into than other code advent series, and introduced me to active participation in the demoscene, which I'd admired since the Amiga days. I continued on, and it's been an extremely enriching - and slightly consuming - hobby for me this year, with a wonderful, supportive community.
As folks have said, you can start any time.
If you hop on now (you can still start with Day 1) then post your stuff to your preferred social network (#lovebyteTCC) - Lovebyte (and friends) will appreciate your creations.
There are some folks who are going hard on sizecoding, but it's also an opportunity to get inspired and just play to make the prettiest thing you can.
Thanks for your hard work on this, @dave84!
