Pico 4

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 18:19:30 UTC

I am doing a little project here and decided to show how the results are going.
The project will be called pico 4 and will run on pico 8. It will have an audio editor (16 audios, eaach one with a length of 8 notes, 16 notes and 16 volumes), a sprite editor (4 colors palette, 16 sprites, 4x4 pixels and a 32x32 screen), a map editor (32x32 tiles) and a code editor (256 tokens, each one fitting on exactly 1 byte). In the end you get 961 bytes in a cartridge and with a little 63 bytes of save (mainly for highscores) it results in 1 kilo byte cartidges.
The objective is to do a mini-console where you can do a minigame in les than 2 hours.
Will be possible to use it in any pico 8 port using of virtual keyboards and some type of external saving (thinking in some type of special qr code or something).
And every editor will be written on the bto language (successive letters of asm) the language I am ending now.
Here the first interpreter. (You need to put the code inside the cart code (last lines inside quotes) 'cause I didn't end the code editor yet lol)

Bug when looping on string

Today I was playing with string management and thought: "If strings now work kinda like tables, maybe pairs() can work with them", but seems that it can't...

code:
for p, i in pairs(code) do

Copy on mobile

Playing terra on the bus, I discovered there's no apparent way to copy something on bbs in the mobile. It would be very cool if maybe we had a button to copy the message put on the copy area. It can help to save your progress and etc. The inverse is also a needed thing, pasting into the game.

FEATURE REQUEST: TERNARY OPERATOR

Hi, I think the tittle is self explanatory. I always had to fight against that lua lack. I came from c, so I am very accustomed to use the inline conditions. And it can be very useful for shrink code, like with tweetcarts. I know, there are some approaches in lua to solve this, but an official and explicit way would be very good.
