"May this cart bring a little joy every time you need
to check the number of a color."

Menu
The ▤ menu contains some useful options.

Welcome to Comit
"May this tool bring a little joy every time you
commit your cart to your vcs." - Wash
Why Comit?
Picotron carts are seen as flat text files by the
hostOS. This makes it difficult to track the individual
files with Version Control Software like Git or Github
Desktop.
Comit will write the contents of your cart into a
folder as separate files so your VCS can easily track
changes.
How to use Comit
- Unsandbox comit.p64
- Right Click comit.p64 > About > Uncheck [ ] sandboxed - Run comit.p64
- This will create the folder /appdata/comit/ - Load your cart into Picotron
- />load my_cart.p64
Note: The icon and cart description will update in
Comit every second.
- Click "Overwrite"
- This will write the contents of /ram/cart/ to
/appdata/comit/my_cart
Note: Comit will try it's best to name the folder
after the name of your cart. It first checks for a

Modulus
The Fun Modulo Calculator
Modulo (%) is a mathematical operator that performs a division and returns the remainder.
It's very handy for creating timers that loop at specific intervals like for animations or counters.
I have a hard time visualizing how the formulas work so I made this silly tool to visualize it in a fun way.
How to Use a Modulus Panel
1.Animation: Changes animation frames when the Results (7) equal 0.0
2.Timer: Choose between 'fps' and 'time()'.
- fps - Starts at 0 and is incremented by 1 for each frame.
- time() - calls the time() function which counts up the number of seconds since modulus started.

Anim-8 Comes to Picotron
Ever wish you could see your sprites animate while you're drawing them?
Anim-8 (pe) launches inside Picotron's current workspace and shows sprites from the numbered gfx files in /ram/cart/gfx/
- Anim-8 (pe) must be run unsandboxed to access the sprites in /ram/cart/gfx/0.gfx
- Right click Anim-8 (pe) cart > About > Uncheck [x] Sandboxed
- Changes must be saved with CTRL-S before they show up in Anim-8 (pe).

Wash's Game - 2024 Game Jelly
I'm participating in the 2024 Game Jelly and needed a place to stash my project so folks can play it.
v0.4 - Final Day!
We're all done! This was a lot of fun to make and I'm super proud of how it came out.
I will say, I didn't get to balance it much so it's currently very hard, but I plan to do some bug fixes so make sure to post about them here. :)
v0.3 - Day 6
There is now a core game loop though it isn't very flashy at this point and needs more variety.
- Added lots of sprites for future enemies and attacks
- Map now moves!
- Wag attack fades out
- Added sfx for damage, enemies, and picking up bones
