Dear #pico8 fam, check around the web for your games. I was just informed that someone submitted Downtream Dream to http://pog.com and http://y8.com and appears to possibly have been monetized.

The WHOIS for both implies they're run by the same ppl, does anyone know more about these sites?

@ridgek Yikes, it was indeed broken. Thanks for the heads up -- it should now open the cart's home thread in a new tab.

lexaloffle.com is back up and should be functioning normally again. Posts / comments were broken by a corrupted DB store, but it looks like there won't be any need to roll back to an earlier snapshot.

There are only 433 possible 4x4 patterns discounting duplicates (inverted, rotated, flipped, shifted). Now you can calculate and browse them in your PICO-8!

@Ronflaix Just extrusion! I'm curious what a 2d platformer with full voxel models would look like though -- it's on my carts to make one day list.

Palette changes for #picotron playground v.8 (arriving tmrw) -- some small tweaks to 16, 23~26 for improved separation & pairings, and the magenta (30) is much brighter.

WIP #picotron design document on PODs: https://www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/picotron_pod.html

// the web playground build will catch up later this week (will be v.8)

PODs are stringified Lua objects that are used to implement files, file/folder metadata, embedded images in source code, clipboard objects and inter-process messages. It's PODS all the way down, baby.

Some compression for #picotron userdata serialization: a byte-oriented RLE encoding that favors recently encountered values and works well with a second lz4 pass. It gives similar results to px9 / pngcrush -brute for typical data.

Here I'm dumping a test 320x100 image into clipboard and pasting back into source code as a ~5k base64 string.

zep,
@zep@mastodon.social avatar

Excuse the niche technical notes here -- the important result is being able to fit a bunch more sprites and music into 256k .p64.png carts, without too much effort :D/
