I noticed that if there is a file named "splash.png" in PICO-8’s directory, it will be displayed at launch before the boot sequence. This also works with cartridges exported as binary.
Good one, UB !
I'll have to try out this logo thing too. I was actually going to mention it in suggestions, so you are not taking necessarily a picture from your program but something better, a full 128x128x16 custom imported .PNG - as you've done here.
too bad you have to press a key. also it's displayed before the boot sequence...
what would be great is a function to display the label (which is never to be seen in exports btw)
dw, I was talking about the original topic.
for anybody wondering:
graphics you "ctlr-c" in pico can be "ctrl-v" in the forum (and back, click on the [128x128] on the side of my pic above, you can copy the text and paste in pico's sprite editor)
now the trick to copy 128x128 pixels from pico:
put the sprite editor in fullscreen (second icon top-left), maximize your windowed pico-8, use the select tool from 0,0 to 127,127 (past the actual pico screen).
in any case that's how I do it, I'd be glad to hear about something easier :)
something like ctrl-f5 to copy the current screen would be ace. and ctrl-a for the sprite editor :)
Clipboard-text screenshot in one line:
s="[".."gfx]8080" for a=0x6000,0x7fff do h=tostr(peek(a),true) s=s..sub(h,6,6)..sub(h,5,5) end printh(s.."[/gfx]","@clip") |
Clipboard-text spriteshot in one line:
s="[".."gfx]8080" for a=0,0x1fff do h=tostr(peek(a),true) s=s..sub(h,6,6)..sub(h,5,5) end printh(s.."[/gfx]","@clip") |
[0x0] | |
Note: I had to break up the opening gfx tag across two concatenated strings in this code because the BBS was interpreting the gfx tag inside the code block as a tag, rather than code. Obviously you don't really need to split it like that. :P
I think it's a "work in progress feature" more than a hidden one. Or a subliminal easter egg. Pay close attention when you first launch PICO-8 - it kind of "fades in and out" extra quick.
Does anyone know if this is still a feature? I can't seem to get it to work, so i assume it is no longer supported?
