Touchscreen Support for Education Edition?

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 23:42:19 UTC

Will touchscreen support ever be added to PICO-8 Education Edition? Currently if you try to use the touchscreen in Education Edition it will let you, but then won't let you use the mouse/trackpad. For people like me, who use both the mouse and touchpad, this can be problematic. By the way, thank you so much for Education Edition @zep! It's unbelievable that you released a free online version of your amazing product! I only use the Education Edition because I don't know if my ARM Chromebook can run the Linux version. However, if you ever released a full-featured html5 version, perhaps even with online .p8 file storage or offline support, I would totally buy it!

How can I choose a variable as an argument in a function? Why doesn't this work? And what can I do instead?

timer=1

function updatetimer(i)
    if i<300 then
        i+=1
    else
        i=1
    end
end

function _update()
    updatetimer(timer)
end

function _draw()
    cls()
    ?timer
end
