I had been using poke(0x5f00, 128 ..etc) to set transparency and setting it to 128 works for spr,
Then I tried the same thing for tline and it wouldn't work unless I set it to 16 or had bit5 flipped.

This test code alternates between the 2 values, 16 works for both 128 only works for spr.

t,f = 0
memset(0x2000,1,0x1000)
function _draw()
 cls"12"

 -- palette
 t+=1
 if t%20==0 then
  poke(0x5f00,f and 16 or 128)
  f = not f
 end

 -- tline
 for i = 31,95 do
  tline(47,i,111,i,0,i/8)
 end

 -- spr
 spr(0,16,60)

end

Is this intentional? A bug? What's the difference between those higher-bits? I was confused when I stumbled into this.

Hey @zep I was working on my game and found that my pokes were failing to update the .p8d.txt?
here I tried doing:

  ?"⁶!5e00²"
  ?dget(0)
  stop()

I found it replicable by doing

cartdata"test"
color(7)

local v = @0x5e00
if v<8 then
 ?@0x5e00
 ?"⁶!5e00"..chr(v+1)
 run()
end

?"done"

I understand if it's meant to take time to update the file but my game depends on this writing to memory for handling state and I wish I could rely on it.. is there some way to make sure the file has time to be written to that'd be token cheap? like giving it extra flip time or something?
I'm on v0.2.5e not sure if this exists on newer versions.

I'm not sure how much it makes sense but sometimes when I'm sploring or even just working on my own projects I take gif captures and screenshots and I want them saved to my desktop, But I don't want them to stay there for forever I want to decide if I move them to my folder or not where I store them but a problem that comes up is since it's like cartName_0, cartName_1 if that already exists then my OS prompts me to replace or not and if not then it renames it to .." copy" which is annoying... (I know I can move the directory but I want to view them first.)
Is there anyway you could add a config.txt option to instead of naming it in sequence give it a random character ID at the end or something? (cartName_021a4, cartName_5v30o maybe? ...) it doesn't have to be too long just would be nice for my really niche gif capturing and stuff ;p
Thanks for reading

I was making a tool to help me make the font for my game and I decided to share it.
I think this is pretty much finalized... you put your font in the sprite sheet as normal like @zep's #font_snippet I took some code from,
X to save Z to swap to the adjusting view where you can nudge around each character by selecting with X.
Then when you save it exports it to clipboard as a binary string with characters 0..15 escapecoded out. It also saves it to memory in the top of the sheet so if you do it locally it'll save your progress for later.

I got rid of the extra encoding stuff cause it wasn't really helpful. now ecodes it properly and stuff.
Just paste the string copied to clipboard in your cart and your good to go. (Of course in puny mode)

I was just messing around and misnamed the directory name and when I went to go hit tab to autocomplete it instead of seeing there's no directory named that it spewed this random garbage at me. It seems to be the same data everytime except it's randomly initialized when I open the .app.

Hey so I was just doing some map work and I was using the cmd+x to move tiles around and I think when I was cutting and pasting somewhere else in the mapview tiles in the shared space it would move the sprites but not the map tiles which was . . . not good and took a while to make sure everything was ok.
It feels like this isn't intentional but I'm not 100%? I'm on 0.2.5c, thanks in advance!
(Like I said maybe this is on purpose since I'm moving the data it's self around in the shared space but in my game I was making I'm using the shared space for sprites and map and it makes it more difficult.)

(Im doing this on my phone cause my wifi got blasted)

I have my game "Kikëo" Im working on and while I cant use the SAVE command to save the file cmd+s still works fine, but like I tried to do
"export kikeア👀o.wav" (thats what it shows up as.) and it just silently failed.
I checked with ls -a and it didn't save a wav but ya didnt spit a error, I have no idea or say how pico should handle names like this but like ya weird export inconsistancy?
thanks for reading this!

PS: Oh! should add it says "wrote 1 file" too but I havent been able to find it so I assume its lying.

I was doing some table comparing logic like so:

local a,b = {},{}
local t = a

if not t==b then
 ?"!",7
end

And using the not operator can trip you up cause it's not testing against the whole bool==bool (I think..?)
but instead (not bool)==bool!
Anyways I was stuck on this problem for hours and I wanted to let other's be aware if they're not.
Thanks to @pancelor for figuring it out and helping me.
(it turns out I just wanted to do

if t~=b then
 -- ...
end

)

I was exporting a sound for testing and I just did

export .wav

And this made the file ".wav" which is great and all.. But on mac files starting with . are hidden..
So I'm not sure if this is a issue or not but I had to check if it existed with a ls -a
And I guess I'll go delete .wav and .png that are just sitting around...
(Oh! and also forgot to mention since pico takes this . hidden stuff for .DS_Store and such into account I couldn't find it with ls either.)

So I was moving my levels around and part of the old section remained after being moved?
Thinking it was a weird byproduct of it not being on screen with the sprites in the way I tried again and nope :?
And I just tried again now and only a 16x1 chunk on the bottom was left...

Sorry for bugging you with bugs again @zep ;\

Hey @zep not to bug you too much with bugs I keep finding but in latest version when I put "ノ" in a error msg and tried to copy it to clipboard (On Mac so cmd+c) it failed and just replaced my clipboard with \0 or empty or whatever (correction: kept clipboard the same. did not over write it with a terminal or whatever it's called.),

I assume this isn't supposed to happen? wonder if it's a issue with ノ being utf8 or whatever.

Anyways thanks if you read this, sorry to bug you... for like the 3rd time with bugs

Hey I was making my game, (Some of the special chars are from/for that.)
And decided to share the font.

This was my first time ever drawing the hiragana and katakana so.. they maybe aren't great but ya.

This cart just pastes the font's data into your clipboard to be poked like @zep's cart.

Probably will keep tweaking it as I use it more but for now here it is. feel free to use it if you want!
