PICO-8 size optimization stuff for tweetcarts

Here are some simple ways to make your PICO-8 code fit in 140 280 characters (as in the #tweetjam #tweetcart craze). I did not invent these, I merely observed and collected them from the tweetjam thread.

LUA syntax stuff

• Use single character variable names
• Use x=.1 and x=.023, not x=0.1 or x=0.023
• x=1/3 is shorter than x=.3333
• You don't need to separate everything with spaces or write them on their own lines, e.g. circ(x,y,1)pset(z,q,7) works just as well

PICO-8 supports different undocumented videomodes that can be activated at runtime, 
using poke(0x5F2C, X) where X is one of the following mode numbers:

0: 128x128, 0 pages
1: 64x128, 1 page
2: 128x64, 1 page
3: 64x64, 3 pages

#OSX Tweaks:
===========

- Most need reboot to show changes
- Most of these tweaks are just for speed, but some are specific for development
- All of these are to be ran in terminal. The commands to be copy and pasted start after the less-than sign.
- I'm not responsible for any adverse effects to your computer, at all.
