This is a cut down version of the variable inspector I wrote a while ago. It's a bit more limited, but a lot more light weight. And there's a way to use it even if you have no tokens to spare (described below).

You use it to view Lua table variables:

1. Run your game
2. Press Esc to break into it
3. Type: dinsp(variable)

Then use the mouse to expand values and scroll wheel to scroll up/down.

Code snippet follows (for some reason I can't use the code formatting tags):

poke(0x5f2d,3)cursor()pal()clip()function dadd(n,v,i,p)add(lines,{n=n,v=v,x=type(v)=="table"and"+"or" ",i=i},p) end function dexp(l,p)if l.x=="+" then for n,v in pairs(l.v) do p+=1 dadd(n,v,l.i.." ",p)end l.x="-"end end

function dinp()local x,y,b,w=stat(32),stat(33),stat(34),stat(36)line(x,y,x,y+2,10)if btnp(❎) then local i=(y-10)\6+1 local p=s+i local l=lines

This is my biggest pico-8 project so far!

Switching between windows by clicking on them gets buggy when there are more than two windows. I recommend either using the icons at the bottom, or not having a lot of windows open.

It would be great to see if others could build on this and make it better. If you want to do that, here is the cart:

Say a player has a way to design a custom painting in a game. This painting should persist between playthroughs, and be stored on the spritesheet.

I know that this should be done via cstore(), but I simply do not understand how.

function painting()
  -- code for modifying sheet through sset() here --
  cstore(A,A,L)
end

What I actually need is the values for A and L.
Cheers in advance.

I was told that this may not be too helpful but I thought I'd upload anyway.

Its basically some code to turn an area of the sprite-sheet into an explosion. I haven't referenced other peoples work on this so if there is a better implementation I apologise.

Feel free to reuse any or all parts.

Intro

Recently I decided to dig into portal renderers and start to build my own, inspired by this excellent write-up of BUILD. This is currently work in progress, no guarantee it will turn into a full game but thought it was interesting enough to share.

I used a lot of stuff from other projects

Quick mod tonight: Celeste 2 Long!

This mod removes the length limit for Lani's grappling hook. That's it.

I know this isn't much compared to my normal mods but I had this idea and it worked pretty well, enjoy!

get it? Celeste 2 long? ...too long? Anyone?

Hi i implemented an online leaderboard using this method: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=42526. And I managed to get it to work. I can't embed it here because it requires setup on the browser side but if you are interested you can play it here: https://maxall41.itch.io/the-heist. Though the in-game leaderboard can be a little bit glitchy due to the difficulties of parsing json data in PICO-8.

• Add Scenery (e.g. trees, plants, etc.)
• Add crafting + resource management
• Make music
• Make player look not trash

I've run into the same thing on a couple of projects, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something in regards to map().

• sprites have flags marked 0-7
• the map command has the optional argument 'layer' that will display only sprites of a certain flag
• the default argument for layer is 0, which mean to show everything
• if I mark a sprite with flag 0, then using 0 as the argument will just show everything (which isn't what I want)

I think in the past I just didn't make use of flag 0 and it looks like that's what Zep did with Jelpi, but it seems odd that I can't (I think) use flag 0 as a layer argument.

Thanks

Hey everyone, here's my first Celeste Classic 1 mod: Celeste Flip!

It's based on my Celeste Classic 2 mod Celeste 2 Flip Hard Mode: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=43821

Use X or V to flip gravity! (Z or C to jump and arrow keys to move.)

Special thanks to:

• ReeceGames: one of themes

Blocked! is the 2nd version of Bricked!

In this version there are a bit different rules and controls:

I am asking this because the code I make is basically functions inside functions inside functions inside functions and I just think it makes the code really messy.
