The \t control code advances the cursor horizontal position to the next tab stop. However, it only does this when the cursor is not already at a tab stop. If the cursor is at a tab stop, the cursor position does not change. The expected behavior is for the cursor position to move to the next tab stop.

-- works as expected: prints x, advances to next tab stop, prints y
print("x\ty")

-- expected: indents by one tab stop, prints x
-- actual: cursor position does not change, prints x
print("\tx")

-- expected: prints x, advances two tab stops, prints y
-- actual: prints x, advances one tab stop, prints y
print("x\t\ty")

Survive being chased by a rolling snowball with a crafty penguin.

Pickup, combine, and throw objects to delay the snowball’s inevitable descent! Throwing objects at the snowball chips away at its continually growing volume, while throwing them at other objects can craft tools to better suit your survival.

To clarify how to combine objects, you can aim your throws. An easy way to do it without precise aim is to carry an object and then throw it downward while sliding through another object. 😀

My LD50 entry. No background music because of the deadline and also I don’t know how to make background music. :(

Spoiler: [hidden]The game is possible to beat (i.e., has an ending) if you put more emphasis on crafting fancier tools over throwing every bit of debris at the snowball. 🙂

XOR Must Be Revealed

His many faces are scattered through 15 levels. Acquiring all the faces on any level will enhance your knowledge of Xor.

Beware Xor controls his world and doesn't give up his personality easily

Rediscover this classic from 1987, originally released by Astral Software under Logotron. This is still a very early WIP (first playable alpha actually), a few levels can be played but still missing levels, sound and probably some graphical polishing. The game will provide the original 15 levels and several extra ones once complete and ideally (if sticking to plan...) a level editor so you can create your own levels and puzzles.

Take control of Magus and Questor and beat all the levels in Xor's world by picking all his many faces and exiting through the door. Switch between Magus and Questor with X and see a level map with Z. You can quit a level if you get stuck from the map screen.

I hit this bug while working on a tweetcart:

?"\*6a"  -- prints 6 'a's    (expected)
?"\*6\"" -- prints 6 quotes  (expected)
?"\*6\n" -- prints 1 newline (unexpected!)
?"\n"    -- prints 1 newline (expected)

Okay so I'm looking to make an orb animation like this: https://jsfiddle.net/aycn3fzd/
I'm not really sure if the solution is within that post or not, I'm having a hard time converting it.
Regardless, I'll explain what I have and the issue I'm having with completing this task.
Here's what I have atm:

I want an orb that will fill/unfill based on the percent of something left. So the generic red hp orb for example. A player has x hp. That hp as a percent x/100 will influence the percent of which the orb is filled from bottom to top red. You can see in the gif above I have this working for 'part' of the circle. The problem is the other sections.

My method for drawing the circle in this example is drawing the 0->15degrees side arc using sin/cos and reflecting it 8x...I posted earlier 3-4 other circle drawing methods, but I'm using the cos()/sin() one here for accuracy's sake. To fill in the circle I am using the line() method and extending it to the other side so I only need 4 instances. I don't fully understand the rect() method and have had issues getting it to look right (I assume u draw a square right center of the circle but the corners usually stickout and look off...maybe that assumption is the problem).

Four-pong (4-pong) is a twist on the original PONG. One player, but you must control four paddles to keep the ball from going off screen. It looks simple, but it's quite challenging!

I made this as a learning exercise -- keep it simple, but make it challenging and fun.

Best wishes and happy playing!

WARNING FLASHING IMAGES

I wanted to try out the new extended (32 color) low res palette mode.

Use left and right arrows to cycle image rendering methods.
(Some of these methods take a while to draw, especially with the extended "flicker palette"--it's a slow dither.)

Your mileage may vary with the flicker color modes. I think it's a nifty way to get more colors, but many people find it to be distracting / uncomfortable to look at.

Modes
1) Floyd Steinberg: Standard Palette
2) Floyd Steinberg: Optimized Palette (basically just swapped some greens and blues)
3) Low Res with all 32 colors at once!
4) Low Res with "flicker palette" built up from all 32 colors mixed (be patient)

Denali is a community project that has been worked on for a long time now but got abandoned, so we decided to release what we have so far for April fools. Just to be clear though this is a community project, and just because I'm publishing it doesn't mean i did all of the work!

I've asked this question before, but it was lumped in with other export-related stuff; so I'm breaking this out into a standalone post. macOS and Windows exported binary applications trigger security/virus warnings that scare off potential users of my software. As recommended by Pico-8 docs I am "distribut(ing) the outputted zip files as-is to ensure users on other operating systems can run them."

On Windows:
The executable on first launch triggers Windows Defender on Windows 7 and 10 (reported so far). I tried codesigning the .exe with signtool to no avail. Is there a way to fix this?

On macOS:
Like Windows, the unsigned app triggers a security warning. Has anyone successfully fixed this, perhaps with an Apple developer account and re-codesigning?

I don't mind signing up and paying for Microsoft and Apple developer accounts if it will resolve the problem, but I don't want to pay just to find out it doesn't help. Hoping the community has experience I can leverage before making any financial commitments.

If you were dying to get your hands on a physical copy of Toxic Invaders, now's your chance!
