Stayed up way way way too late (it's almost 4am) trying to program a ripple thingie in #picotron I learnt how to use userdata math to speed things up and *oh my god* it is genuinely over 100x quicker than doing the naive loop on each pixel that i started with, it's crazy
#picotron tip: press shift-ctrl-R to reload a single code tab without resetting the program state. // 0.3.0e fixes the crash that happens if there's no tab to reload
A bit late to the party but I got one of these micro 8-bit-do controllers to use on my 8” mini PC for #picotron and it’s surprisingly useable despite being minuscule. https://www.8bitdo.com/micro/

oops, so I accidentally shipped a WIP version of Neko Puzzle in #picotron 0.3.0d's /system/apps. 😸️ The 1P mode is perfectly playable, but the high score table will switch over to the release version in 0.3.0e. I was surprised to see some visiting players show up in the dev build, heh.
Heads up, the Lexaloffle terms of use will change later this week to disallow genAI content. The proposed update aims to protect the current BBS culture without excluding usability. Any comments welcome (here or hey at lexaloffle dot com). Draft: https://pastebin.com/raw/v8cvrdgv #pico8#picotron
