This is my first completed cartridge, made for people who don't like clicking or want to try something new.
It allows you to paint, copy, and paste 8x8 pixel art into pico-8 games without requiring a mouse.
Key shortcuts:
- arrow keys to move
x
to paintc
+up
ordown
to change active colourc
+left
to turn background colour into active colourc
+right
to change move delayenter
for the other settings
Copying and pasting is not as efficient as i'd like because of the built-in limitations of writing to and reading from clipboard. Make sure to ctrl-c
after pressing copy in menu, and ctrl-v
before you press paste in menu. try:
I think ever since @carlc27843's Impossible Mission R.T. cart came out, people have been wondering if they could make background music for a cart using PCM synthesis. carlc27843's Emulated Amstrad CPC Chiptunes post discusses using its engine that way, @luchak has had to let people know that the RP-8 groovebox can't be used that way ... folks are curious.
I don't know a lot about digital audio synthesis, but from the conversations that have happened in the PICO-8 Discord, it sounds like there's roughly three sides to the equation:
Cost
- How many tokens and bytes are cart designers willing to give up to the soundtrack? @bikibird's Speako8 Speech Synthesis Library is under a thousand tokens - is that a good target?
- What percentage of PICO-8's CPU budget? Four voices with 25% CPU seems possible in a few different ways, but is that too much to give up to background music?
Goats, Cars n' Doors!
So...
the situation being proposed is: there are 3 doors, behind 2 of them are goats the other has a new car. you (trying to get the car) pick a door, the host stops you and opens a different door. behind that door is a goat. they then ask you "do you switch your answer".
the question: what are the odds of getting that car if you switch vs. not switching.
the problem: everyone i've asked has said its a 50% chance either way, but the answer is actually 2/3 if you switch. why? I have no idea but I built a simulation so you can answer that yourself!
