Warren Timer (Pomodoro )

Sun, 29 Apr 2018 17:05:39 UTC

So I did this little pomodoro timer today for fun. It implements 20 minute work cycles with 5 minutes of rest between. For every work cycle you complete, you get a gold coin. :)

The code is horrifyingly rushed and sloppy so take it for what it is ... a project to while away a lazy Sunday.

I even wrote a proportionally spaced text routine for the 3 lines of text this thing displays. I'm THAT kind of nerd.

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?

Weird bug in sound effect editor

Mon, 12 Mar 2018 19:08:25 UTC

So I'm new ... sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about bugs BUT I have a weird behavior in the sound effect editor.

Mainly that if I hit CTRL+Z (out of habit from other apps) it doesn't undo anything AND has the rather unfortunate effect of wiping out every wave I have in my file. They all reset to nothing.

So ...is this a PICO-8 bug? Or is my computer doing something weird?
