If you're curious how PX9 compression works, I made a visualiser cart that lets you step through (load #px9v) and updated the algorithm description in the main PX9 thread:

Hello! This is my first cartridge for Picotron. You explore a castle and try to get to the crown. I barely know what Lua is, so please pardon any rough spots or gameplay.

This was mostly an experiment to see if i could actually make something with Picotron since I got it when it first released and then never used it. Thanks to the help of other people, there was a template I was able to use to create this! Massive thanks to taxicomics for making the original template.

About

Do you know Bitsy, because if you dont you need to check it out.
I wanted to make a game that also serves a template for future works.
Its very simple to work on, since my main focus was to make creating objects easy.
this is a average object in the game:

  {name="milk",
   tile=53,
   pushable=true,

   text="milk"
  },

When you open the project you will be greeted with a message telling you which tabs are important.

hey everyone! finally close to finishing this project of mine, just needed to fix one last thing - the coyote timing.

in page 3 just above the --jump control, i added a variable called falling_timer which goes up by 1 every frame until you touch the ground, in which it resets to 0. i then made it so that if the timer is less than or equal to 6, then the player can jump.

i thought this would act as coyote timing... but i guess not? am i missing something?

i added a number above the player position to show the falling_timer value in game.
