See repro cart - unless I am totally wrong on my software tline, pico8 tline ("hw tline") is not correctly rendering lines with arbitrary slopes.
Software version eventually converge toward correct pattern, tline does not.

stat(31) fails to report any key mapped to an accentuated character (ex: on AZERTY keyboard, 2 is mapped to key "é").
It prevents support for diverse keyboard layouts.
Suggest to have a raw keyboard stat value to report key number.

It is not possible to present actual keys being used by pico in game.
Pico8 keyconfig can be used to remap keys.
Proposal:
keyconfig id [player] returns the character being used for button id and player (default 0) |

How to reproduce:
- launch cart
- set custom screen palette:
pal({140,1,139,3,4,132,133,7,6,134,5,8,2,9,10},1)
|
- load data:
reload(0,0,0x4300,"cart2.p8") |
- while data gets processed, hit "pause"
- bug: screen palette gets reset
Can be reproduced on POOM on the loading screen (https://freds72.itch.io/poom)

Using -export command to automate multi cart package building and blocked by a number of bugs:
- unable to specify HTML plate path (only works if export is actually performed from home folder)
- inconsistent path parameters between bin and html exports:
# works for html pico8.exe carts\cart_0.p8 -home . -export "game_alpha.html -p my_plate cart_1.p8 cart_2.p8" # doesn't work for bin pico8.exe carts\cart_0.p8 -home . -export "game_alpha.bin cart_1.p8 cart_2.p8" # works for bin cd carts pico8.exe cart_0.p8 -export "game_alpha.bin cart_1.p8 cart_2.p8" |
- incomplete js generated unless export is run from carts folder
# produces broken js pico8.exe carts\cart_0.p8 -home . -export "game_alpha.html -p my_plate cart_1.p8 cart_2.p8" |

Thick line drawing routine (as a reply to @JadeLombax Twitter).
Manual:
linefill x0 y0 x1 y1 r [col] draw a 2*r pixel wide line note: r must be >= 0.5 to produce meaningful results note: the code uses sub-pixel precision rasterization, allowing smooth movement |
Example:
-- 4 pixel wide white line linefill(45,34,67,96,2,7) |

introduced in 0.2.0d

How to reproduce:
- cart with 3 includes
#include includes/bold.lua #include includes/bigscore.lua ... some other code ... #include includes/tquad.lua |
- reports invalid 'printb' not found (included in bold.lua)
- info produces random output:
- ctrl-r clears the error and runs the cart ok

Multicart is really a nice expansion feature, to offer content beyond the 32K boundary.
However, with reload not supporting BBS-hosted carts, large games are banned from BBS.
Is that something considered in the pico roadmap to bring back multicart games to the "official" forums?
Note that supporting more than a couple of data carts will require rework of the BBS file management.
- support for upload many files at once
- support for listing cart identifiers
- support for headless export of p8.png (limited to html/bin at time of writing)
- ability to assign same id pattern to many carts (ex: vracing_0... vracing_10)
Cheers

As per documentation, reload does not support BBS carts.
However, the function fails without any error while trying:
-- does nothing (or not??) reload(0,0,0x4300,"#vracing_5") |
Could the function reports an error in such case?

On Chrome: Version 79.0.3945.88 (64 bits)

Winter is coming (as every year actually...), time for some skiing!
Enjoy going down the slope, trying to beat your previous track record or freeriding skills!
Grab coins for some extra time bonus - watch out for off track hazards!
Your polar jacket can sustain a couple of direct hits, avoid trees anyway...
Note: there is no end racing line - you will loose :] question is how much time will you last?
Controls
- Left/Right: control direction
- c: jump (hold to charge)
- x: restart (if stuck)
- follow GPS pointer if lost

A little experiment with filled ellipse, supporting any rotation angle (the tricky part!).
The code is moderately fast as it finds the root of the ellipse equation to get the segment extent for each row.
Car headlight example use:

A couple of devs are investing into multicart games (like 5 or more data carts).
We are all put back by the artificial loading times (eg minutes)
Would it be possible for the fat client to either ignore load time throttling, or only activat throttling for the published version?
I want the multicart multiverse, not loading screens ;)

Using the cough undocumented cough stat(102) from a game hosted on itch.io, I got back:
v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net |
This is indeed the url of the iframe (which doesn't help).
A more correct behavior would be to report the parent page url, with the benefits of:
- having a predictable outcome
- actually preventing rogue hosting (somehow...)
Note: Looking at the HTML, I see that url is retrieved from:
var str = window.location.hostname; |
Using that alternate code would fix the bug:
var str = (parent !== window) ? document.referrer : document.location; |
