Is this some limitation tied to PICO-8, is it bad coding or a combination of both?</p> <p>Thanks in advance and have fun.</p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p><strong>Update</strong><br /> It seems the speed is just fine. Tho, turning on the flooddebug makes it slow again. I guess while developing the pico instance got i little bit slow.. or the computer i used (at work) is just weird.</p> <p>Anyways, i updated the cart (to 1.1) with a target indicator :)</p> <p><strong>Update 2</strong><br /> Back at work now, reran the 1.1 version again. The speed seems indeed just fine. I'm not quite sure why it was slow yesterday, even with the flooddebug turned off. I guess it was just a process or memory bug/thing. Well, whatever :)</p> <p><strong>Update 3</strong><br /> Added v1.2 which has some more fancyness, like animating background, indicator and sound.</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2570 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2570 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 09:31:15 UTC
