A little demo I made of a bullets system using a userdata ECS-like system.

I wrote a guide on the thinking behind it, intended as a practical introduction to some userdata concepts, on my github.

Good afternoon. I hope you're having a pleasant day and intend to stay hydrated. I am posting this in order to draw your attention to a serious matter. It seems that I have been roped into this business of game design, with very little actual coding experience.

My nerd bona fides are somewhat impressive. I am the voice and publisher behind the viral video, "Glenn Danzig Grocery Shopping List," which could have been the inspiration for the infamous cat litter photo. I used to mess around with Geocities and Angelfire in the 90's. (Insert obligatory joke about blinking text here.) I taught a middle school course in game design, a pilot program in my district at the time. Hell yeah, my first console was the Atari 2600, and I used to play a ton of Frogger and Asteroids Deluxe, mostly in bars, where I also learned to shoot pool. Under the old Southbound Cinema name, I made student films and even a public access series, most of it on VHS. I have a few albums and EPs on Bandcamp, and have taken the beatmaking route a few times.

Hello all!

I've been in love with this community and the games everyone has created since the moment I saw it. I knew then that I wanted to create something to share with you all. I am working on a game with the working title "Jelly Patrol" and I'm very excited to get it finished and out there to enjoy. Thank you for looking and I am honored to be a part of this community of independent developers and artists all coming together to share their ideas and projects. Cheers!

I suppose this is probably a question for @zep
Is there a way to fetch the BBCode (asterisks, hashtags, etc. that format a BBS post) from a post? I'm planning on making a cart for picotron that is able to read and display things from the BBS. On that note, is there also a way to find out what the most recently posted posts are by using fetches?
That's it, thanks!

if btnp(5) then
check_door()
end

function check_door()

local tx=plr.x/8
local ty=plr.y/8

local tile=mget(tx,ty)

if fget(target_tile,0) and plr.key > 0 then
plr.key-=1
mset(tx,ty,91)
end

end

--pickups--
function ipickups()

pu={}

for i=1,5 do
add(pu,{
x=flr(rnd(128)),
y=flr(rnd(128)),
act=true
})
end

rubies=0

end

function upickups()

if pu.act then
if abs(p.x-pu.x)<=8 and abs(p.y-pu.y)<=8 then
rubies+=1
sfx(1)
pu.act=false
end
end

for pu in all(pu) do del(pu,p) end

end

function dpickups()

for pu in all(pu) do
