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?
foreach(split('123456','45'),print)
--123
--56 (Expect only :6) |
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.

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.

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.

I'm developing KONSAIRI, a game I've been working on for a while now that I'm finalizing and checking throughout the game.
As I mentioned before, the goal of the game is to move back and forth between 16 different areas to reach the final destination.
However, it seemed to feel like the same old thing before you even reach halfway through the game.
That's why i added Dungeon mode, which changes the look and feel of the adventure dramatically.
Not only do you take damage when you touch an enemy, but there are hidden passages and hints scattered throughout the game that will help you get to the true ending.
When you stand in front of an enemy, you will see a timing gauge.
It's not for attacking, but for getting through to the enemy's rear.
A well-timed "step move" will allow you to move forward with no damage.
If time passes, you will be damaged.
If you move away from the spot, you can avoid the danger.

I think being able to scroll horizontally with "Shift + mouse wheel" would make it easier to check for longer lines.
I can also use line breaks to keep up appearances, but I don't want to add too many characters.

Current Development
I'm building a relationship between NPCs and area map connections.
These are mainly for the latter 8 areas.
(The "keys" that NPCs have might be easier to understand.)
This game has a combined total of 16 areas.
There are also useful items that will help you move through such a large world.
These items can be found at the end of the first half of the game.
Then, the image below shows the map of the first half of the game.
Reduced map for 8 areas
Most of the maps are over 128*128 cell size.
The aspect ratio varies from area to area and the structure is challenging to explore.
Once you get your "KUWAI", use it! You can look around the entire area.
Actual map display
An animated tile is provided in each area.
These tiles bring about the effect of the wind.
You can use "PERSNIP" to change the wind (flow).

Does the random value generation by srand() always produce the same pattern output as long as the same seed value is input?
Does the output pattern change due to a change in the environment?
For example, the upgrades, the amount of code, the timing of the exports, the machine or OS you're running...
So far I haven't been able to verify much and I haven't encountered the fact that the output results have changed, but I am concerned.
Thanks for your help.

I'm working on a big project for PICO8.
Around the end of 2018, I learned about the scalability of multi-carting and continued to research and create it to this day.
We were able to give each of the four carts a role, rather than just being a data bank .
Cart 1: Title/Ending/3D dungeon scene
Cart 2: Platformer Scene
Cart 3: Cooking Scene
Cart 4: World Map Scene/Important Item Riddle Solving Operation
Because of these many factors, an hour or more of play is a must.
Data saves are automatic.
(Position when resume, growth and LIFE, possessions, time, status of NPCs helped, farmland, important items, veggies, history of veggies removed, history of enemies removed, and other things for cart-to-cart interaction).
Most of the game system is complete. I'm currently assembling the map for the later areas.
If anyone is planning an original, reasonably large game, PICO8 will be used as a prototype. It looks like they will progress the production and do the actual product in another game engine. I've seen some of those opinions. (Not my project.)

What the tool can do
- 3D modeling in 15x15x15 size.
- Save and load into a sprite sheet.
- Export the loading code from the sprite sheet.
- Export the drawing code of the 3D model.
Control are followings(WIP)
Reference
Examples of actual use

I am working on a small 3D modeling tool separate from the main game project.
The created 3D model is written to a sprite, and it is ready to be read.
However, operations and views are very confusing.
No such tool exists on the PICO-8 platform. (Or not seen)
I guess it's probably because there's an alternative and it's easier to produce.
Would you like to take advantage of this tool, even if it is paid?

Feature Overview
This is a script that parses String data and converts it into a hash table.
- a single string can initialize many values.
- returns at least an empty table.
- elements can be added space-separated.
- spaces can be replaced with
\t. - newline codes are ignored.
- newline can be replaced with
\r. {}specifies a table.key=val;key{val}specifies the key and value of the table.- if you enclose an empty string, the element will become nil.
- to initialize with an empty string, use
/0/. - bool values, and hexadecimal strings are automatically normalized.
- the first layer can be initialized with global values by using
cat()in_env.
