BBS Blog Post: Digable Planetoids
// how to fit a planetoid procgen game into 1024 bytes for #pico1k (gif shows a slowed down version) + bonus Lexaloffle news at the end.

#picotron 0.3.1 quads using batch lerp() to generate poly edges, batch line() to draw them, and the additive colour table from /system/screensavers/dizzy.p64 (1400 polys)
A target mask of 0x3f + fill patterns still gives 6 pixels / cycle, so not much of the cpu work actually happens in the scanline filling stage.
Checking that quad boundaries join up with no holes or overlaps. This one kind of reminds me of a colour plate from an 80s siggraph paper. #picotron
what's the point of having a title screen if you can't mess with it? #picotron
#picotron now supports family LXO accounts: add up to 5 family members to your lexaloffle account via the settings page --> each one can log in to Picotron with a separate player identity. Also handy for testing multiplayer carts, and works under web too!
https://www.lexaloffle.com/lxo
I'm preparing to release #picotron 0.3.0c which includes web player logins for LXO accounts ("Lexaloffle Online") ~ any #pico8 and #voxatron users automatically have LXO and can also post highscores etc.
More Info: https://www.lexaloffle.com/lxo.php

Side effect of making the title screen in a hurry: the logo and text are pushable actors.
[WIP] #picotron 0.3.0c podnet running on the BBS. Watching the web app sync with changes made from the binary is pretty satisfying.

Using Lobo's Hop, Potato! icon as a bookend for a stack of documents; 1. easy to see where the end is when shuffling through with the mousewheel, and 2. looks like a snake.

@Ronflaix ok yeah -- that sounds wrong! I was looking at yields across c boundary (lua function -> c function -> lua function) which also needs to be fixed in PICO-8. But it seems even a regular frame skip is still not always working correctly if you're not seeing that slowdown in stat(1) -- would appreciate a cart if you have one that reproduces the behaviour.
Replying to
@Liquidream That part's still missing but yes it definitely needs to be able to open in fullscreen (and be 100% controller-controllable). I'm looking at eventually having a "sofa mode" that also filters out windowed apps so that you don't get stuck on the desktop without a mouse/kbd after booting into splore.
Replying to
@pancelor that was a mistake -- fixed now in 0.2.2b (along with some other blocked messages)
🐱=123 is on my wish-list! Along with some other P8 compatibility features (It will be a while before I get back to that part though)
Replying to
@wrench@wandering.shop Hey Claus. It was crowded! We'll keep doing them though, hope you can make it next time. There will be some Saturday ones too in case that helps.
