About me

I began using pico-8 and joined the lexaloffle community in late August 2019; I had not previously used Lua. My first pico-8 game was snake using circles for the body segments.

I like to write my own code, then once my code is working I look up other implementations to see ideas I could try next time I code something similar.

I'm looking forwards to Picotron.

About my comments (or lack thereof)

If I don't comment on a great game, I probably gave it a like but I had nothing more to say than wow!. And I didn't want to add a comment to the BBS with nothing more than wow!.

About questions I answer

If I have written code in answer to your question, I probably tried to suit it to the style of code you had already put up. If you are following a tutorial, I will have mistaken the style of code used in the tutorial for your own style, and may have given an answer you can't follow; I apologise here for this - but I sincerely hope the tutorial you are following is explaining the code it is using sufficiently that you can follow my answer.

I also try to make my comments (inside and outside the code) reasonably accessible to all - if I have explained something you already knew, it's because it's there for others to read as well.

Thanks.
