I've been looking for a coding project to fiddle with on the go. Discovered that as a Voxotron owner I also own Pico-8, which was a generous bonus (ありがとうございます!)I use a Surface Pro 2017, and the lightweight nature of Pico-8 is perfect for this tablet size with the on-screen keyboard. However there are a few points that need addressing:

  1. On-screen keyboard arrows don't work. (hoping someone can confirm? Makes the editor a drag to use)
  2. Headphones are ignored. All other apps play sound through headphones but Pico-8 forces everything through the Surface Pro speaker. See below.
  3. Touch to interact with the editor window requires a double-tap where a single mouse click works. Basically the touch input just doesn't feel natural, as when changing toolsets or positioning the text editing cursor.

Hoping that there are API abstractions on Windows platform that can be adopted for "get touch support for free!" (he said, understanding that nothing is ever so simple)

東京に住んでいるので、そろそろピコピコカフェに行くつもりです!
素晴らしいアプリを作って大変ありがたいです。

  1. PICO-8 doesn't work too well with changing sound output. If I connect headphones to my regular laptop (or vice versa), I have to restart PICO-8 to make it respect this. Have you tried that?

@tobiasvl
Apologies for the delay in responding. Well, I thought I had tried that, but it seems I had not. (what is the BBCode for "embarrassed"?) Thank you, just confirmed that if Pico-8 is launched with headphones plugged in it works fine.
