It's lunchtime, but the Covid-19 virus still rages.

Can you get lunch?

after moving (via cut/paste) some SFX in the new super-cool pattern editor view, it seems sometimes it breaks the SFX editor's copy/paste in that when I highlight a few notes, copy them, and try to paste them, it keeps saying a message like "pasted 2 sfx" (instead of "notes") and has no apparent effect (at least not that I can see from within the SFX editor). I haven't found any way to fix it besides reloading the cart.

EDIT: actually I just saw it happen even without using the pattern editor...copy/paste just mysteriously stops working sometimes. it looks like entering some notes makes it start working again though?

Hey all,

Been having this issue where P8 will suddenly close usually when I am editing code on Sublime Text. Seems to happen after about ten minutes or so. Anyone else experiencing this?

On Windows 10.

I'll update if I notice any patterns.

introduced in 0.2.0d
how to reproduce:

• call tline with a start point outside of screen boundaries
• tline starts at 0 without adjusting lookup coordinates

Hey!
I use a french azerty keyboard and I noticed in the SFX editor that the keyboard key for G# (6) is the same as the hotkey to go back to previous SFX screen (minus).
This means if I want to play G# in SFX 01, pico-8 plays it and then comes back to SFX 00, and I have to go back to SFX 01 to continue playing.
Thanks a lot!

When I let my Macbook (Catalina 10.15.4) sleep while having a joystick (8BitDo SN30 Pro+) connected PICO-8 segfaults, and outputs some cURL transfer metrics just before that:

(Note: first two lines are debug output from my cart).

Does anyone know why PICO-8 does a cURL call actually? Does it auto-report bugs or perhaps it checks for new versions?

sprite flag problems

I've been brute-forcing sprite flag numbers for a while and I gave up after like 2000..

What's the number for flag 6+7?

I know that 6 alone is 64 and 7 alone is 128, but combined I have no idea..

Please send help, thanks

Another one, tribute to that rare Atari 2600 / intellivision / vic-20 / etc.
shooter game from Imagic in 1982.

Hello,
I'm a newcomer in Pico 8, so this question will probably sound a little newbie-ish.
How can I have a full screen image, to use it as a splash screen before game loop starts?
Thanks in advance!

Post compo version of my ludum dare 46 submission with some extra features.

Note: @zep, please have patience reading this, as I think there's more than one thing going on here.

I had to fix @Reload's "Pico-Sprint" cart here.

For whatever reason, they were choosing to make empty-arg func() calls as func"", possibly in an obsolete attempt to save a token.

The problem is, the call to clip"" screwed up the clip rectangle, because apparently clip() is interpreting the single blank string argument instead of ignoring it. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bug, since Lua and PICO-8 expect strings to be coerced into numbers in many instances, so it may just be expected behavior that wasn't previously working as expected. I checked to see if maybe the single-argument format was meant to work with a table, e.g. clip{0,0,128,128}, but that did not seem to work.

However, there's more... ← and here begins the second thing

In the process of debugging this, I tried getting the existing clip rectangle from clip()'s return value. I tried these:

If the first thing you do after loading a cart is to to delete some source code, you can't undo the deletion.

I suspect this is as simple as needing an undo state/fence at load time.

I was checking a suspicion of a regression in version 0.2.0c and discovered this minor inconvenience. When a newer version cart is loaded into an older version PICO-8, it errors out with "Could not load $filename". Technically, it's correct, but the same error is shown when, say, a given cart file is missing. I find this messaging confusing: it took me a while to realise that the file is fine and it's the version mismatch that causes it.

Suggestion. Make it forward-compatible: error out with something like "cart version unsupported".

(FWIW, I was trying all this via command-line)

Bonus small bug: non-lower-cased message word "Could" is rendered in the puny font, while the rest of PICO-8 UI does not use it.

Demo.
