Exploring a Pseudo OS with no documentation
I've been in the coding business for a while now: reading source code isn't that scary. That seems to be the world I'm putting myself in with the picotron. The manual seems woefully sparse and is falling behind with each update. There are sections and behaviors of the editors that are so cryptic that I still don't know what they're doing. Fortunately, I can scry the behavior from /system/apps. Still I wonder why Luadoc wasn't adopted and enforced early by the developer. Strange.
Maybe the online blogs are the place to find the answers. I'm struggling to filter or find.
Examples of the inexplicable
In the GFX Editor, we've got these dots here. I click on them and they fill with a colored circle--cool. But... what is that?
It would be nice to hold Alt or something and put my mouse over to get a description like this.
Maybe this is my first cartridge. However, I'd rather make a juvenile videogame.
