sprrect - a function for drawing sprite-rectangles

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 19:49:51 UTC

a little function i wrote for fun ...! it lets you draw a sprite as if it was a rectangle :]
works best when the sprite is evenly divisible by 3 both ways ... but it will not cause any errors if that isn't the case

i could certainly make the code smaller, but i feel like working on other things at the moment, so you can have it as it currently is 🤲

function sprrect(x, y, w, h, s)
	s = get_spr(s)
	local slice_w, slice_h = s:attribs()
	slice_w = slice_w\3
	slice_h = slice_h\3
	local slices = {}

	-- split into 3x3 slices
	for _y = 0,2 do
		local row = {}
		for _x = 0,2 do
			local slice = userdata("u8", slice_w, slice_h)
			s:blit(slice, _x*slice_w,_y*slice_h,0,0, slice_w, slice_h)
			add(row, slice)
		end
		add(slices, row)
	end

	-- draw corners
	spr(slices[1][1], x - slice_w, y - slice_h)
	spr(slices[1][3], x + w, y - slice_h)
	spr(slices[3][1], x - slice_w, y + h)
	spr(slices[3][3], x + w, y + h)

	-- draw edges
	---- top
		clip(x, y - slice_h, w, slice_h)
		for _x = 0, w, slice_w do
			spr(slices[1][2], x + _x, y - slice_h)
		end
	---- bottom
		clip(x, y + h, w, slice_h)
		for _x = 0, w, slice_w do
			spr(slices[3][2], x + _x, y + h)
		end
	---- left
		clip(x - slice_w, y, slice_w, h)
		for _y = 0, h, slice_h do
			spr(slices[2][1], x - slice_w, y + _y)
		end
	---- right
		clip(x + w, y, slice_w, h)
		for _y = 0, h, slice_h do
			spr(slices[2][3], x + w, y + _y)
		end

	-- draw center
		clip(x, y, w, h)
		for _x = 0, w, slice_w do
			for _y = 0, h, slice_h do
				spr(slices[2][2], x + _x, y + _y)
			end
		end
	clip()
end

a little autoharp type thing i am working on!! very very inspired by lynn's autokalimba

controls

TAB: show keyboard labels
SHIFT: transpose bass by -5 semitones (for flavor)
LEFT/RIGHT: change instrument
UP/DOWN: change volume
CTRL + UP/DOWN: transpose last played key by +-12 semitones
SHIFT + UP/DOWN: transpose all keys by +-12 semitones

other settings can be found in the menu! (click the menu button on the top-left of the window)

also available on itch! it sounds better when running straight from picotron

rrect() fails to draw corners if drawn too far past top/left of screen

i found this while working on a silly little rez demake of sorts ! how strange ...

typo in "export" help text

i noticed that when using "export" with no arguments to see how it works, "determined" is written as "depermined"

PICO-8 88x31 Web Button

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:35:39 UTC

i have been meaning to get back into working on my personal neocities, and was looking for fun buttons to put on my website. i wanted to put a PICO-8 button in there somewhere, but didn't know if anyone had created one already, so i decided to make one myself...! feel free to use it if you want, credit is not necessary :]

allow users to type number directly into boxes in SFX?

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 22:03:11 UTC

i felt i should bring this up! having to move my mouse so slowly to try and get the number i need out of a knob in SFX tends to really strain my wrist ;; being able to click a box and type a number much like GFX allows would be much, much appreciated, or perhaps the scroll wheel could allow you to increment/decrement by 1!

i wrote down the rules for a weird little game with sliding tiles a little while ago, and only a couple days ago i had finished a little prototype for pico-8 :p

i'd like to do more with it in the future, but i think it's fun to play in its current state, so i thought i'd share it here. feedback is welcome !!
