Feature Overview
TTABLE() returns the table if the argument is a table.
- Returns FALSE if not a table.
- Use when table or string determination is required.
- (e.g., when using a string for initialization and replacing it with a table)
- This function consumes 12 Token.
tbl = '1 5 10' -- Default value.
tbl = ttable(tbl) or split(tbl, ' ') -- tbl = {1, 5, 10}
----
----
-- Thereafter, the tbl is not initialized even if there are changes to the elements of the tbl.
tbl = ttable(tbl) or split(tbl, ' ')

Feature Overview
REPLACE() Replaces the specified string with the specified string.
- The first argument string replaces all matches to the second argument string with the third argument string.
- This function consumes 53 Token.
--"str" becomes "string for replace".
str = replace('[test] for replace', '[test]', 'string')

Feature Overview
SUM() returns the sum of the numbers in the given arguments.
- If the argument contains nil or false, the result will not be correct.
- If too many arguments are given, Out of memory is returned. (In the sample, up to 710 arguments)
- This function consumes 15 Token.
If you are concerned about some of the problems, consider using the "More Argments Ver" code.
Other tuple trick code: INRNG()
Feature Overview
INRNG() Tests if the value is between the lowest and highest values.
- Tests that the specified value is within a range.
- This function consumes 10 Token.
--[true] in range value inrng(5,1,10) --[true] lowest range value inrng(1,1,10) --[true] highest range value inrng(10,1,10) --[false] out of range value inrng(0,1,10) |
This function is included in the KNUTIL library.
release note
One-off characters [8 chars of raw binary data] print unnaturally.
Or I may not understand this feature.
I was aware that "\^.00000000" would print nothing.
Setting Tab stop controll code to 0 and outputting tab characters at the same time causes pico-8 crash.
pico-8 version:0.2.4b
print("\^s0\t") |
Feature Overview
RCEACH() performs a two-dimensional loop in a single function.
- The rectangle value arguments correspond to [table] {x,y,w,h} and [string] "x y w h".
- You can refer to the current x and y values in the specified function.
- This function consumes 50 Token.
rceach({16,16,32,32},function(x,y,r)
local c=(x+y)%8+8
pset(x,y,c)
end)
|
One of KNUTIL's functions, the object generated by EXRECT(), has a rectangle value format to be used for the RCEACH() argument.
may want to Use DMP() if check the converted table.
This function is included in the KNUTIL library.
Feature Overview
TMAP(), like foreach(), applies the function of the second argument to each element of the table.
- Usage is almost the same as foreach(), plus index values can be referenced within the function.
- The specified table is returned. (TMAP() nested functions can be applied multiply)
- The return value in the function specified in the argument can update each element of the table.
- This function consumes 27 Token.
local t={
'toast'
,'letus'
,'bacon'
,'cheese'
}
t=tmap(t, function(v,i)
?i..'..'..v
end)
--------
t=tmap(t, function(v,i)
v='super★'..v
?i..'..'..v
return v
end)
--------
t=tmap({
'shield'
,'armor'
,'sword'
,'ring'
}, function(v,i)
v=t[i]..'•'..v
?i..'..'..v
return v
end)

Feature Overview
COMB() combines two tables to create a hash table.
- Returns the joined table.
- The two arguments must be tables of index arrays.
- The argument is nondestructive.
- Hash tables are not in constant order. (This is a Lua specification.)
- This function consumes 26 Token.
local keys={'name','species','home','skill'}
local values={'ruth','fox','port town','kon-psi'}
local charcter=comb(keys,values) |

This function is included in the KNUTIL library.
Feature Overview
CAT() concatenates two or more tables.
- The second and subsequent arguments are added to the table elements of the first argument.
- Returns a concatenated table.
- The table used for the first argument is updated. (destructive)
- This function consumes 39 Token.
local tbl_1 = {'a'}
local tbl_2 = {'b', 'c'}
cat(tbl_1, tbl_2)
?tbl_1[1] -- a
?tbl_1[2] -- b
?tbl_1[3] -- c
-- Only primary elements can be cloned by specifying an empty table for the first argument.
local tbl = {1, 2, 3}
local tbl_dup = cat({}, tbl)
tbl[1] = 256
?tbl_dup[1] -- 1
?tbl_dup[2] -- 2
?tbl_dup[3] -- 3

Hello.
I want to use the clipboard to paste SFX data to another console as shown in the image below.
With the current (0.2.4b) function of PICO-8, you can only paste SFX data on the same console.
It would be simpler to share sound effects if they could be pasted to the clipboard in a format like
[gfx] wwhhpp... [/gfx)
In what situations do you use these conversions?
hexnumber = '3xz'
--A
tonum(hexnumber,1) : 768 (0x0300.0000)
--B
tonum("0x"..hexnumber,4) : 0 (0x0000.0000)
--C
tonum('0x'..hexnumber) : -- NO VALUE --([nil]) |
Example
I want "nil" to be returned when I use a character as an identifier. Therefore, I use the "C" conversion.
hexstr = '108000789$'
hexval = TONORM(hexstr) -- Normalize the value [number boolian nil], otherwise it remains a string.
hextable = {}
if type(hexval) == 'string' then
foreach(split(hexstr, 3), function(v)
add(hextable, tonum('0x' .. v))
end)
end
-- Handle hexadecimal conversions without being converted to numbers by normalization.
-- Only the value of number is stored in the hextable.
-- "$" is not stored.

I noticed that split() splits the table at the first character if you use a separator of more than two characters.
Is it a bug or a specification that split() cannot be used with separators of more than two characters?
Thank you.
Feature Overview
"KNUTIL" is a library for PICO-8 that contains functions that are frequently used in the games I have created.
I've kept the functions that I eventually needed in my production.
In this cart, I show you how the scene functions work with animations.
Z key: Execute the order command.
Up/Down: Select the order command.
SCENE MANAGER controls and replaces the order in which functions are called with a small number of tokens by using consecutive string instructions.
The generated SCENE can register a global function as an ORDER.
One of the registered ORDERS is retrieved by SCENE and the process is repeated for the specified length.
When the processing is finished, it repeats the processing of the next ORDER.
This is expected to facilitate the planning of the performance.
Using SCENE
ORDER COMMANDS
Create a function for ORDERS.
Run each SCENE.

Properties of ORDER
Functions other than scenes
There is one in this library that I have already posted.
CAT: Concatenate tables. Indexes are added last and identical keys are overwritten.
COMB: Combines two tables to create a hash table.
DMP: Dumps information about a variable.
HTBL: Converting a string to a table(Multidimensional Array / Hash Table / Jagged Arrays)
INRNG: Tests that the specified value is within a range.
JOIN: Joins strings with a delimiter.
RCEACH: Iterate from rectangle values.
REPLACE: Perform string substitutions.
TMAP: More compact operable foreach iterator.
TBFILL: Creates a table filled with the specified values.
TTABLE: If the argument is a table, the table is returned.
Functions not posted on BBS. (I will post them some other time)
TONORM: String to type conversion(boolian, nil, number).
TOHEX: Convert hexadecimal string without "0x".
TTOH: Sum the numbers in argument 1 by shifting bits to argument 2.
HTOT: Divide an integer value into 8 bits and make it into a table.
EXRECT(RFMT): Drawing and overlap judgment with the generated rectangle.
TOC: Divide the value and exclude the remainder.
SPLIT(wrapper function): Split() for two-dimensional support. Defaults to space separator.
HTD: Convert a hexadecimal string to a 4-bit-16-bit table.
SLICE: Cuts out the table at the specified index.
OUTLINE: Display text with edges.
MKPAL: Create a table to be used in pal(), specifying the colors before and after the change.
ECMKPAL: Generate a set of tables to be retrieved by MKPAL().
ECPALT: Run palt() on the table.
AMID: Expand the arguments to positive and negative and do mid().
BMCH: Compares two values to judge that they both have a bit in common. "Bitwise operators" make it less significant.
UPDATE HISTORY
Hello, everyone.
A few days ago, a game I created called KONSAIRI was released on Steam!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/1448220/
There are still very few examples of PICO-8 games on the Steam platform as PICO-8 games.
I think that's because, as content, PICO8 titles are seen as lacking when compared to other game engines and those created in a free development environment with no restrictions.
But I challenge you to dream of being in the same store as a masterpiece game, despite its limitations.
I also wish to see more interest in PICO-8 in my part of Japan.

Hello.
Suggestion.
I would like the exported file to include the current config.txt (global_config.txt) as local_config.txt in the exported file.
This will allow us to play from the creator's ideal config in another user's environment.
"global_config.txt" refers to the config.txt that I've been using.
If both global_config.txt and local_config.txt exist, local_config.txt is assumed to take precedence.
Sequence of events
A question thread containing this
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=39940
Is there a recommended coding method that would eliminate the drop frames that occur when the pico8 window is turned to the back?
Or is there a memory address I can set?
I want to keep the number of times to execute _update60() and draw() the same, even at 30fps.
