The RP3 can be had for cheap. Could it run Picotron with a suitable Linux installation? The RP4 is twice as expensive and I won't mention the RP5.
I was thinking of setting up a small dedicated machine for Picotron.
Do you have an installation like this? Tell me about your setup.

Title is self explaining...
I'm out of sprites! I need to display what's on the other pages. How do I do that?

Hello good people of the Picotron! First time posting. I apologize if I<m not posting in the right forum, but I<m a bit lost in the current layout of the site.
I'm a amateur programmer who never went too far qith this hobby, so I thought maybe something meant to be "easy" like Picotron could be a thing for me, the eternal wannabe game designer.
My question to day is about tables.
I can<t quite get them to work. I use simple one dimension arrays, but I need more of a Pascal-type of record, and when I read the Lua documentation, it seems to be possible, but my code doesn<t compile when I try to create tables with more than one dimension or different types of variable. It<s a syntax problem. I know what I want to do, but I can't find the right syntax.
For instance, in my RPG, there will be a party of six characters. So I need a table with at least a string column for the name of the character, a number column for the character sprite number, one column each for the chacter<s abilities. At the end of the day, there will be a lot of data in that table.
