waveform doodling for #pico8 0.2.6

// sfx slots 0..7 can be marked as a waveform instrument, in which case the 64 bytes of data are used as looping 8-bit sample data

Ahh, the simple pleasures of making seasonal adjustments to your desktop theme. #picotron

ok, I think it is time. #pico8

(they work the same as sfx instruments, and sfx instruments themselves can contain waveform instruments)

Happy New Year everyone!

A wee #picotron update: I've updated the faq, roadmap & playground with a sound toy:

https://www.lexaloffle.com/picotron.php?page=playground

Press ESC to get into the terminal, then "load /demos/bells.p64" and hit CTRL+R to run it.

Working on #picotron's .p64 cartridge files: a simple text format that is git-friendly and human-readable/hackable if needed. .lua & .txt entries are dumped verbatim, and everything else is base64-encoded.

Normally you don't need to interact with them at this level -- inside picotron, the .p64 cart is a logically a folder (you can "cp mycart.p64/gfx/sprites.gfx yourcart.p64/gfx" etc.)

lexaloffle.com is being pummeled by weird reqs today ~ is it because cloudflare's dashboard is down and bad actors are treating it like the purge?

(the server seems to be coping fine, but I turned up rate limiting so log in if you want to do many searches or something)

Changelog for #picotron 0.1.0h (arriving soonish): https://pastebin.com/raw/TncHEWrY

Here's an example of file subscriptions: the monospace toggle directly modifies the code editor's config file, and all of the processes subscribed to that file get notified and can update their font.

on_event("modified:/appdata/system/code.pod", function(msg) load_settings(msg.filename) end)

Toggling monospace on and off in the code editor, with live changes to the rendering shown below.

Don't you sometimes wish you had a little fold-out nether desktop that is accessible from anywhere?

#picotron

While using the picotron code editor, the tooltray is pulled down a little to reveal a handy desktop area. A file called snippets.lua is opened in the code editor from here.

WIP backups / file versioning for #picotron: all disk writes are (optionally) logged and earlier versions can be fetched by sticking a timestamp on the end:
