Okay, so the functionality is there, but you forgot to add it to the list you get if you type config
by itself. Currently this is all you get:
> config config [setting] available settings: volume theme gif_len gif_reset_mode gif_scale screenshot_scale splore_filter tab_width |
Might wanna check and make sure there aren't any other additions you've missed adding here.
Hello.
I am understanding I am not to write a program that allows you to import/export PNG files to and from P8 cartridges, so I wrote this in an attempt to assist other Pico-8 users of the educational edition since they cannot import or export graphics or music.
It uses a variance of the graphics for the little library I wrote, the first Picotron program written found HERE:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=50942
I exchanged the spider and bomb for Forest (tree) and rubble which can double as mountains. There are some miscellaneous sound effects and I also added a musical note player that overlaps the notes as they play so they sound better.

What is This?
Once upon a time... A young cat lived in a small town of Catsensburg.
The cat was small, but brave... Risking his life to anything he wanted...
The cat folks kept talking about a mysterious, creepy, dark mansion with some magic milk at the top.
The cat would be absolutely flabbergasted upon gaining such information.
However, there was problem...
Savage monsters were lurking and roaming in the mansion in search for blood!
But the treasure at the top was too much for the cat. He would go inside the creepy mansion in search of the magic milk...
How Do I Play?







Helloooo everyone!
I made this cart because I am positive someone out there desperately needs it.
Ok, so I just made it for fun, but surely you would too.
I left some notes on how to use it, but you may have some work ahead if you want to decipher my code.
The making
I first envisioned a shape platformer game. That never happened. Anyhoo, I had envisioned a game
and I needed a simple and easy way to draw believable polygons. First, I looked around to see if
anyone else had done it before. I found one or two, but I did not like them enough.
My plan was simple:
I would draw the shapes one line at a time, top to bottom.
After some trial runs, I ended up scrapping it. Next, I dabbled with the idea of vertical lines.
Simple little game made in a couple of days as a mini project. Use the arrow keys to mimic the pattern - challenge yourself with four different difficulty settings, or see how far you can go in endless mode.
You can change the speed in the options menu if you find the default speed too fast or slow. You can also turn off the multicoloured text animations if you want.
Technically my first finished and submitted cart (I've got another one sitting that I'd consider my actual first cart, but I've still got some UI to finish in it). Also, apologies to those reading through the code - it's in one big lump, not super commented, and obviously far from perfect. This was just an impulsive little project I started a few days ago and I didn't fret over programming it in an optimised manner; there's definitely things that could be cleaned up if I were making something bigger where I'd be more inclined to put the effort in. But, hey, I finished it, and it works. So enjoy :)

Feature Overview
STRDSUM() sums two numerable strings.
- The number of digits it can handle exceeds the 32-bit limit. (Probably as long as the system will allow.)
- Match the string length to the longer of the two arguments.
- Negative values and values after the decimal point cannot be handled.(Insert a period in the output result.)
- This function consumes 63 Token.
This code may cause errors in versions prior to 0.2.5c.
?strdsum('32768','32768') -- 65536 ?strdsum('500','000500') -- 001000 ?strdsum('900109','123456') -- 1023565 |

I'm new to PICO-8, and my first experiment was to create a simple program that moves a rectangle back and forth. When I run it, the movement will be fairly smooth at first, but then I start to notice a sort of hitching every couple of seconds. I tried this both on my desktop and laptop, and see the same behavior on both computers.
Is this something with my code, my eyes, or PICO-8 itself?
I'm running this on Windows by the way.
Here is the code I'm trying:
x = 109 xs = -1 function _update() x = x + xs if x < 0 or x > 110 then xs = xs * -1 end end function _draw() cls() rectfill(x,0,x+15,30,12) end |
