So according to the wiki, if you poke(0x5f2d, 0x4), it turns on pointer lock mode, and then you can use stat(38) and stat(39) to read X and Y mouse movement. This isn't working for me, though. Both stat()s just return 0 no matter what. I'm not sure if you have to poke(0x5f2d, 0x1) first too, but either way it's not changing anything.

Here's a little demo cart to demonstrate:

I haven't seen anybody else use it, so is it even possible? The only thing saying it's possible is the wiki.

Hello:

Here now, take a look at this map section:

Despite the fact it's not Pico-8, it is interesting to look at. It is clear there is a meandering path going from north to south yet there are all kinds of tiles and obstacles along the way.

This map was drawn by hand by a map artist I am certain, is why it looks so good and able to explore.

Yet it brings up an interesting point. Are we intelligent enough today in our coding - can we develop code that can create a map like this ? Where it is not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye it also offers a challenge to travel through if you stray from the obvious path.

It might even be a set of rules like:

Map size is 64x64
32 small rotted stumps on dirt
24 rotted stumps on dirt
24 green stumps on grass
24 pumpkins
18 large trees
36 dead trees
48 small pumpkins
32 medley pumpkins
16 large pumpkins
18 bloom trees on red grass
+ Standard North/South Path through using pressed yellow leaves, twistiness = 114

When in the sprite editor, the 'H' key flips the sprite horizontally, and also toggles hex mode.

I don't know how to read hexadecimal very well, so I would have to toggle it again before continuing.

Hi! I'm pretty new here, but I've been working on something I think is pretty neat, following the Shmup tutorial found on LazyDev's channel. I wanted to know if I should just start with that, or learn all of the function, commands, etc..
and wing it. Thank you and have fun!

A simple real time strategy game. Drag and drop to send armies to conquer the world. Villages produce new soldiers, Towers shoot at enemies, Castles produce new soldiers twice as fast. This is an early playable version.

How can I choose a variable as an argument in a function? Why doesn't this work? And what can I do instead?

timer=1

function updatetimer(i)
	if i<300 then
		i+=1
	else
		i=1
	end
end

function _update()
	updatetimer(timer)
end

function _draw()
	cls()
	?timer
end

@zep, I am finding this line by itself in code:

while a < anything do

while a < anything do

Is not appearing entirely ^^ above in [ code ] if you take out the space before and after the <
This is happening in PREVIEW. Once I post I'll let you know if it appears as a POST too.

This is quite puzzling. I also have my ad-blocker turned off.
Windows 10, Quad processor, Firefox v105.0.1

while a<anything do

while a<anything do

O K A Y it only happens in PREVIEW. Here, create a new message and copy that while a<anything do inside [ code ] and PREVIEW your message before you post. See if you get the same results I do.

This is what I see when I PREVIEW the message:

Please let me know if you ARE or ARE NOT receiving this error on your side.

Working on trying to understand RLE and I found a simple algorithm which I converted to pico-8 lua. When I run it however it seems like the while loop exits and executes the next line of code every iteration even though the conditions are still being met. I'm not sure what is going on, but I am sure that it is my fault. :D

cls()
string='wwwwweehhhhhhhjjiiioop'

function print_rle(str)
	local string=str
	local n=#string
	local j=0

	for i=1,n do
		local char_count=1

		while i<n-1 and sub(string,i,_)==sub(string,i+1,_) do
			char_count+=1
			i+=1
		end
		print(sub(string,i,_)..char_count,8*j,10,7)
		j+=1

	end	
end

print_rle(string)

A few weeks ago I asked for help for a game, but seeing that Pico 8 is very expensive for what it is, I decided to cancel the "wonderful game" that I was going to present to you with love.

Sorry for putting high expectations, it motivated me to make a game, thanks for putting your contributions.

Taking a crack today at building drum kit SFX - I've labeled this one as a "High Tom", but if you play it on a lower note than C2, I think it'll probably serve for whatever tom you need. You do need to take care of fading out the notes yourself, though - the SFX ends on a held G1, just to let the drums have a longer sustain than 32 ticks.

30/09/2023 UPDATE
I've had an updated version of this cart on my hard drive for ages that I've never uploaded so I thought I'd finally put it out there.

Just a small mod, mainly a texture tweak.

• Updates a lot of textures to be closer to the ones in 2018 Celeste
• Adds a unique tileset for each of the 3 sections of the game
• Updates some existing textures to make them slightly nicer to look at (imo)
• If you beat the game with 0 deaths, the game will reward you with a golden strawberry!

Thanks to Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry for making the original cart.

i found a game where you are a white cube trying to make other white cubes trying to crash into each other. i am trying to make a game like this but cannot find the original to base it off of? do anyone know what it is called
