Mass rnd() table generating problem

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:08:21 UTC

So I was building a game that generates 30 stars at random x,y cords using the following snipet, however is returns an error

 stars={}
 for i=1,30 do
  local countup=i
  add(stars,countup)
  add(stars.countup,x)
  add(stars.countup,y)
  add(stars.countup.x,rnd(0,127))
  add(stars.countup.y,rnd(0,127))
 end

Does anyone know why?

Thanks, Bouncy

Game names?

Hi people of PICO-8!

I was making a game, and was working on the main menu, when I realized that the game didn't have a name.
Meaning I needed to come up with a game name. Except I soon realized a second thing. I am the worst at naming things.
So I have been wondering, if you can come up with a name.
First, the game idea, ect.

You are this little white blob and you have a power/disadvantage. Instead of seeing the world as a whole, you see it in parts, meaning you might see:
~~-
but then you see
--~__
or by pressing the button again, you get to see a different part of the game world.
Then the almighty sphlor breaks, and you have to re-make it.

My name was: Xyil, but I don't think that is good.

Where do I start?

I am very new to pico-8 and want to know where to start.
I know, there are many tutorials out there, but I tried one and I didn't feel like I was progressing in understanding.
Where do I go to start?
