<p>Hello!</p> <p>I'm trying to understand how to best work with image data in Picotron for use in things like .txt files and whatnot.<br /> In the readme that rests on the pictron desktop, there's an image near the beginning of the file that, when clicked, reveals a metadata object that is &quot;unpodding&quot; base64 encoded image data so it renders in the txt editor.</p> <p>How would I go about podifying a sprite on a .gfx file so I too can insert the base64 data into a .txt file?</p> <p>I've tried doing something like this:</p> <div> <div class=scrollable_with_touch style="width:100%; max-width:800px; overflow:auto; margin-bottom:12px"> <table style="width:100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr><td background=/gfx/code_bg1.png width=16><div style="width:16px;display:block"></div></td> <td background=/gfx/code_bg0.png> <div style="font-family : courier; color: #000000; display:absolute; padding-left:10px; padding-top:4px; padding-bottom:4px; "> <pre>?pod(fetch(&quot;/ram/cart/gfx/0.gfx&quot;),0x7)</pre></div></td> <td background=/gfx/code_bg1.png width=16><div style="width:16px;display:block"></div></td> </tr></table></div></div> <p>in the picotron terminal, and it outputs the b64, but it's podifying the entire gfx file, not the sprite I want to podify (in this case, sprite 1, second slot available on the gfx file).</p> <p>Anyone have any ideas here?</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141782 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141782 Wed, 17 Apr 2024 14:31:54 UTC Changelog for v0.1.0f is out, but not the download? <p>The changes in Picotron v0.1.0f look very exciting, but the downloads page appears to only have v0.1.0e</p> <p>Anyone know when we can expect to see v0.1.0f?</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141763 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141763 Tue, 16 Apr 2024 12:18:34 UTC crystal_ball <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=145752#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico64_crystal_ball-0.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=145752#p"> crystal_ball</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=92434"> Zeflyn</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=145752#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> </p> <p>Made a silly little crystal ball that you can ponder.
