Is it possible to print things to the console?
Also, how do you reference objects in a script?

Student asked about how to make random doors spawn in a room.
I used emitter to emit inventory items and then have doors check for inventory item id.

I added a bit of a gameplay so it makes more sense and works as a game a bit better.

Will try to record tutorial later.

What are the actual steps one must follow to begin scripting in Voxatron?

EDIT
It was right in the API docs

EXAMPLE (global script)

1. create a script object, add it to the room, and edit it.

   old_draw = _draw function _draw() clv() old_draw() local dz = sin(time())*5 sphere(64,64,32+dz,8,7) end

Is it possible to configure the camera such that it follows the player in a game?

EDIT
via a script placed inside the player folder (will add code once I've got that worked out)

update to game every Thursday!

I like to play with my kid but the cartridges are too many. How can i remove a cartridge?
Also if the available cart list gets auto-updated can i change that?

Thanks.

PLAY THIS RIGHT KNOW AND YOU WILL LOVE IT DO IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I launch Voxatron, select Chaos Fortress, Run, the title screen appears. If I touch 'control' or 'command', voxatron crashes. I reproduced the crash with Hug Arena. Happy to provide the crash report if needed.

The cart selection screen doesn't have this problem.

macOS 10.15.7
Voxatron 0.3.5b

hooonnkkk

welcome to goose on the loose! this has been my project for the past couple of months, and i'm happy enough with what i've done, so i'm calling it done! this project has taken me quite a while, and i'm satisfied with the result. feedback is appreciated, and please report any bugs / exploits you find.

controls not explained in game:

jump + shoot: honk

I have a Raspberry Pi 4, and I'm not sure if Voxatron works on it. Does anyone have any experience with trying to make Voxatron work on one?

I've just bought Voxatron and it looks really cool, but I can't launch either the vox or vox-dyn apps, i have no problem with the pico 8 ones
and yes i have set them to allow to run as exe

Tells me there is no application that can run 'shared library' files

i can run the windows installer on wine and use it fine but i would prefer to use the native version meant for linux

I ordered Voxatron here, and got a receipt from Humble Bundle, but I did not receive a download link for it. I also tried putting in the order ID into the add products to accounts page but I had no success. Any reasons?

Top-Down Adventure - Voxatron Edition

I had a lot of fun making this. This is the top-down adventure game tutorial I made for PICO-8, but re-written to work in Voxatron.

I had to make a few changes to how things worked, since it's in 3D, of course, and there are things that Voxatron doesn't have, like a map editor or its associated functions like mget() or mset(), or other functions like btnp() and so forth. But other than those few changes, it's basically the same code as from the tutorial.

Feel free to take it and make your own games with it. :)

Whenever I try importing a .p8 file into an object, Voxatron just instantly crashes with no error. I saw someone else post about this on the BBS to no helpful response :(

Hoping this gets fixed or hoping there's a known workaround

Is it possible to export Voxatron games to html/js like pico-8 can? I would like to host games on itch or my own website if possible. I saw that you can embed the player from the bbs, but that's less ideal than self hosting.

Every other file it automatically loads into the cart directory but it doesn't do that with the alpha demos and I can't find them anywhere in the game's folder. I can't find the carts online to download them
