I really hope I'm doing this correctly.

Anyway, this is my first project - done entirely so I could get a handle on PICO, on Lua and the various processes.

It's a basic breakout game with endless bricks coming down from the top - it even has a few power up bricks!

If the bricks reach the bottom or you lose your ball, it's game over!

Here's hoping this works... heh.

Now ... I have no idea why it's "Untitled". I set up the top of my lua file like the code below ... isn't that correct?

cool!

About the title.. I think if you remove the space after the comment dashes, it will work.


Yes! It's the spaces. Removing them makes a proper thumbnail. I'll know for next time now ... heh.

Thank you!

Now with proper labeling ...


Another new guy question ... posting like this doesn't add it to the official cartridge registry or whatever, right?


My friends tell me this player works in mobile too ... I had no idea! PICO is really cool ...


I think everything adds to the carts under NEW in splore.. and maybe in cart view..? But not in forum view?

If you look at a user's carts, I THINK it only shows threads though.. so if you make a one off to show someone how to implement some feature or something, it may not show up there.


Ah yeah, OK, it does ... neat! Thanks for all the orientation help, btw ... I appreciate it. :)


Great stuff!
