hello :3

So I was building a game that generates 30 stars at random x,y cords using the following snipet, however is returns an error

 stars={}
 for i=1,30 do
  local countup=i
  add(stars,countup)
  add(stars.countup,x)
  add(stars.countup,y)
  add(stars.countup.x,rnd(0,127))
  add(stars.countup.y,rnd(0,127))
 end

Does anyone know why?

Thanks, Bouncy

I removed a couple important lines of code and found that it made the character invisible. I played around with it and thought it was pretty fun, and decided to throw it here. I also blacked out a few sprites from the start of level animation. This has probably been done before, but I haven't seen it so I figured I might as well post it. If you can complete it please post your results in the comments! I'd love to see how you guys do.

thx peoples from forum for wave text code

I rewrote my checkerboard demo for the Pico-8 Fantasy Console. This program is amazing. It is probably the closest thing to QBasic which I used to use. However it uses a slightly modified form of Lua that also has graphics commands. In a way it is a lot like using Love2D but I am still quite new to using Pico-8. One of the most notable features is that it has built in ability to record video to a gif file.

Pico-8 is almost like a mini DOS or Linux distribution except that all the programs are written in Lua. It comes with a full manual explaining the features which is available as a text file and also a page on the official website here:

I am new to this site. I am learning about Pico8 and that is what brought me here. I'm mostly a C programmer but recently started experimenting with Lua partly because I was interested in using PICO-8. I love all things retro and my favorite game of all time is Tetris.

It's celeste, but you are a comet.

( it gets fun after old site )

So I'm trying to make a idle game and im using a timer that resets to 0 every 30 cycles to make a 1 second timer, my goal is to make the total number increase by 0.2 every second but after a wile it increases by 0.1999 instead and I have no idea why

heres my code:
function _init()
timer=0
counter=0
end

function _update()
if timer==30 then timer=0 end
if timer==0 then counter+=0.2 end

timer+=1
end

function _draw()
cls()
print("timer:",0,0)
print(timer,24,0)
print("counter:",0,7)
print(counter,32,7)
end

Oh my god its another website.
