FAQ


I have 2 phones in my desktop2!*

If you have more than one phone in your tooltray, it means you had previously installed Picophone and manually changed it's parameters! If so, go back in appdata/system/startup.lua and remove all PicoPhone installations! Then load #phone again and watch the magic!

Changelog

I'm open to collaborations so feel free to give feedback, test it or implement new features!
We'll get in touch here or on the discord!

If you wan to add a calculator to it, feel free to use the code from mine https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141416

It would be neat to have a calculator in this multitool.

@profpatonildo haha! i love that it thinks before giving you the result
I'm implementing this gem in the next update, thank you!

Update:
A bit late cause I lost all my progress yesterday :(
But here it is, with a big new feature, a new mascotte and 2 new tools!

Installer coming soon!
Still open to collabs! Let's do it before there's no more space in PICOPHONE!
See ya around the bbs <3

For @profpatonildo:


Kawaii calculator has some issues with detecting keyboard presses.
Minus sign (-), point (.) and "Enter" work fine, but plus sign, multiply sign and divide sign don't work in my macbook! Could you please take a look inside my cart in /picophone.p64.png/code/kawaiiculator.lua?
I have only touched the graphics and kept the logic as it is

@369369369 that's interesting.

I just tried it on my keyboard and all keys work. I then tried with another keyboard, that has a different layout, and I have a different problem than yours: plus works, but minus and divide don't.

I think it may have something to do with scancodes and the different position of those keys on different keyboards. If you have access to a numerical keypad, try using those keys and see if they work alright. I tried it out here with a usb keypad, and they seem to work.

If you want consistency throughout all keyboard layouts, it might be better to disable the "regular keyboard" input and leave only the mouse and numerical keypad input. I've done just that here, just swap the updateCalc function for this new one with the changes:

 
function updateCalc()
    if timer > 0 then
        face_timer += 1
        if face_timer >= 4 then
            face += 1
            if face > 52 then face = 51 end
            face_timer = 0
        end
        calculate()

        return
    end
    if result_given then
        if #instructions > 0 then
            result_given = false
        end
    else
        if mouth_timer > 0 then
            mouth_timer -= 1
        else
            face = 49
            mouth_timer = 0
        end
    end
    if tostr(number) == "8008" or tostr(number) == "80081" or tostr(number) == "800813"or tostr(number) == "8008135" then face = 53 end
    if divided_by_zero then 
        if #instructions == 0 then
            face = 53 
        else
            divided_by_zero = false
        end
    end
    for b in all(calcButtons) do
        b.draw_top = true
    end
    local active_key = check_key()
    if keyp(87) 
        or keyp(86)
        or keyp(85)
        or keyp(84)
        or active_key == "+" or active_key == "-" 
        or active_key == "*" or active_key == "/" then
            if (number == "" and #instructions == 0) or operator_behind then
                if keyp(86) or active_key == "-" then 
                    turn_negative = true
                    decimal = false
                    display = display .. "-"

                    return
                end
            else
                if keyp(87) or active_key == "+" then operator = "+" end
                if keyp(86) or active_key == "-" then operator = "-" end
                if keyp(85) or active_key == "*" then operator = "*" end
                if keyp(84) or active_key == "/" then operator = "/" end

            face = 50
            mouth_timer = 3

        mouth_timer = 3
        divided_by_zero = false
        result_given = false
        clear()
    end
    if keyp("enter") or keyp(88) or active_key == "=" then
        if number != "" and #instructions >= 2 and not operator_behind then
            local sign = 1
            if turn_negative then sign = -1 end
            add(instructions, tonum(number) * sign)
            number = ""
            operator_behind = true
            decimal = false
            turn_negative = false
            face = 50
            mouth_timer = 3
            timer = #instructions * 15
            calculate()
        end
        return
    end
end

I think that's more practical, because it's kinda of a janky system lol. If you want me to outright disable the keyboard input (even the numerical keypad), just let me know and I'll send you a version of this function that only checks for the mouse.

PicoPhone 0.3 is finally out! This is the biggest update yet!
A lot of new features and completely revisioned code.
Thanks to @Eiyeron for making me understand how the Picotron GUI works!

Read the changelog:

0.3.69b Hotfix
Fixed a bug that wouldn't install PicoPhone if you've never created a startup.lua file!
(You don't need to update if you didn't experience any bug)

@profpatonildo mmh ok that's not a bad workaround, now it has a bit more sense. Thanks

Just a heads up for anyone using my Downloader 2.0 cart: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=145411#p

If you download picophone with it and run the installer, it will instead try to install Downloader 2.0 into the tooltray instead and potentially cause some really nasty bugs

Fixed a bug that made PicoPhone crash if you switched from PicoChat to the calculator!
Added a new feature! Not child friendly yet so watch where you tap and remember to save!
Added splash screen!

edit: Web player doesn't work now! Well neither was it working before since you had to install it in the tooltray and reboot :P But I'll work on this so we'll have a playable demo in the bbs!
