I have this bit of code:
if f==1635 then sspr(0,32,128,64,64,64) sspr(0,32,128,64,-64,64,128,64,true,false) sspr(0,32,128,64,-64,0,128,64,true,true) sspr(0,32,128,64,64,0,128,64,false,true) end |
which causes the CPU load in a demo I'm working on to go over 1.0, even when f!=1635. If I comment out the sspr functions, the demo runs at 60fps. Is this speculative execution as planned, or is this a bug?
EDIT: I was able to drop the CPU load back under 1.0 by doing it as a separate function, like this:
function drawthese() sspr(0,32,128,64,64,64) sspr(0,32,128,64,-64,64,128,64,true,false) sspr(0,32,128,64,-64,0,128,64,true,true) sspr(0,32,128,64,64,0,128,64,false,true) end ... if f==1635 then drawthese() end |

A continuation of my previous WIP and an entry to the first ever GameShell GameJam (itch.io)
Synopsis
Play as Shark X, a NASA experiment sent into space (accidentally), to save the aliens living on Saturnian moons from a threat that comes from afar.

Rungeon
Here's a standalone version of the dungeon crawler game I made for @elneil's Picozone (#17in1jam).
- Your health decreases slowly but steadily so be sure to grab as much gold as you can before you die.
- Hitting monsters makes you lose a lot of health, but you also get a lot of gold.
- Make sure to grab the food to increase your health.
It is made of only 421 tokens and sprites.
Have fun!

So, i used the jam as an excuse to make my first little game on pico8 and learn more about the platform and its limitations, it was only a couple hours of work and really incomplete and barebones, but i intent on making it better and i also have some ideas for the next projects with pico8
EDIT: posted a new version, with game over screen, persistent high scores and a title screen
EDIT2: improved the title and game over screens and added some info on how to find me

Had a tooth extracted at the dentist, it's a weird experience. Decided to make up this sketchy cart loosely based on it, not interactive~

I started tinkering with an _update60 cart the other day and I was getting stuttery behavior.
Dug deep into possible performance bugs in my game. Then realized I had stuttery graphics (< 60 fps) in simpler cartridges.
Dug deep into updating drivers and BIOS on my Dell laptop. Still nothing. This laptop is from 2012, but is more powerful than my rpi3 which has no problem with _update60.
Then, I took a look at PICO-8's own config.txt file and found fullscreen_method. Tried method 2, which is actual fullscreen rather than stretching a window.
Totally resolved the issue.
How come 2 is not the default? Or maybe it is in fact the default and I'm forgetting having toyed with this months ago.

Hi! Folks. Here's my submission for 7DRL 2019.
It's a turn-based survival game, in which you play as a mountaineer trying to reach 7000m with limited supply. For now we basically have only one type of room.
