Hi,

I'm just getting started and I wanted to know-how:
1) To create a custom player
2) How the scripting system works
3) How and where can I find the demo cartridges in Linux to open them and see how they are made and work

Thanks a lot hope to hear from you soon

Dinctance activated mine

(For some reason, my last two edits all result in blank posts, even if the preview looks normal. Now I have to type in a third time.)

Hi, I have problem that I cannot save the file under the same filename. When I do that, Voxatron crashes. Does that mean I have to do save under a different filename each time I want to save? I hope not.

I am using Intel MacBook Pro, macOS 10.15.5 Catelina, and Voxatron 0.3.6.

Thanks in advance.

On my looking glass 15.9, the game renders off center and overall wrong if the monitor DPI is not set to 100%. Picture is of 150% DPI, which windows defaulted to for the display when I plugged it in.

I'm going to wager that this happens on the portrait as well, but I don't have mine yet.

HoloPlay Service 1.2.0.

Is it planned to release Voxatron on a VR platform? It would be amazing imo, maybe it could even support 3D cursors or multiplayer!

Hi all,
I'm using, from a LUA script, to draw the current room the method:

old_draw = _draw
function _draw()
    old_draw() -- draw the room and objects
    ...
end

It's great to draw the current room with just a function call.
But can I change the current room from LUA script code to draw the another room calling old_draw() function?
If not, can I draw directly another room without change to it?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi there,
I'm using voxatron from a few weeks, as Pico-8 it's really fun. I'm using directly LUA instead the editor itself.
I've read the lua_api and Voxatron Designer User Manual documents but I've some questions.

1. Is there any way to export to linux/mac/win/html?
2. Could be possible to export to raspberry pi?
3. Can I deactivate the default sound of cursor/z/x keys?
4. How can I use draw_voxmap using an angle but without alter the original color of the vox? For instance, if I have a multicolor voxel and I want to apply 0.5 angle I must use:
   draw_voxmap("mivox",32,32,32,color,0.5)
   But if I use a color number, the voxel uses a flat color instead it's original colors. Is there a way to use the original colors of the vox?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Collect different items to bake a cake
to switch between inventory items press q or e
to use inventory item press ctrl or c or v

This level is a demo to show how to use multiple inventory items to accomplish a single game's goal.

Made for a one-day hackathon with the goal of "use a language/tool you've never tried before"!

Hit a lot of hurdles and will likely tweak in the future, but learned a lot about Voxatron and had FUN!

• It's a "Pacman" clone
• Power pellets EXPLODE to kill ghosts
• Get all pellets to 'win' (and restart)

CONTROLS

• W/A/S/D to turn Hacman
• O and P to tilt the camera up and down
• 'X' to restart (when it asks for 'fire')

This is hard and frustrating

Although i like voxatron the massive splore makes me dizzy.
I checked .lexaloffle/Voxatron/ in my linux box but i find only pngs.

I'd like to learn from some of the carts here in this forum by loading them into Designer. Is that possible?

There are two examples of keys that you pick up.

Multiple keys at same room and multiple keys at different rooms.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Hope that helps

Is it possible to print things to the console?
Also, how do you reference objects in a script?

Student asked about how to make random doors spawn in a room.
I used emitter to emit inventory items and then have doors check for inventory item id.

I added a bit of a gameplay so it makes more sense and works as a game a bit better.

Will try to record tutorial later.

What are the actual steps one must follow to begin scripting in Voxatron?

EDIT
It was right in the API docs

EXAMPLE (global script)

1. create a script object, add it to the room, and edit it.

   old_draw = _draw function _draw() clv() old_draw() local dz = sin(time())*5 sphere(64,64,32+dz,8,7) end
