The idea for this cart was inspired by a comment @Liquidream made to me a few months ago. 😂 Enjoy your week, everyone!
WYSIWYG control code editor
Hey there!
Tired of manually writing that long, one-line print statement, filled with control codes in order to layout static text like in a title screen, painstakingly modifying \^j
and \+
values to position the text just right, adjusting \^x
and \^y
values of solid-filled text to draw background elements instead of using rectfill
to save precious tokens, and then deciphering all of that when you need to go back and edit something? ...no? just me?
Did you know that with P8SCII control codes, you can change things like text color, size, screen position and more? Meaning, for static (and relatively positioned – camera
offsets will apply) text, you never really need more than 1 argument to print
, and no more than one print
per layout!
Hi! Think I ran into a bug when using the tall mode control code as part of a longer string (that then undoes it).
Seems like tall mode retains the doubled line height even after it's turned off in the same string. The following code produces this output:
cls() ?"\n ⁶t hi \n\n ⁶-t l1 \n l2 \n" |
...when I'd expect it to produce this ("l1 \n l2"
is no longer in tall mode, so the height of the line break shouldn't be doubled):
It seems like the only way to revert to normal line height is to start a new print command, but that's another 2 tokens! This is affecting a WYSIWYG-style static text editor I'm planning on releasing.
a new version of celelste taking into account of @StrongSand94191's list of issues with it!
Includes edited levels for maximum fun and minimum rage!

So I got pico 8 on my old computer about a year ago but didnt ever make an account until a few months after i bought it. in some games when i use splore it says that i have an old version of pico 8. The thing is i cant update it because my account dosent have pico 8 on it because i made the account after i bought it. is there any way i can update it? Or does is someone able to give me a newer version. I cant exactly prove i own pico 8 but i can give a screenshot of it (im on mac btw).
