I wrote code in UNBEATABLE
It would be neat in #picotron if you could differentiate between direct key presses and key repeats on a case-by-case basis. I think returning a second value from btnp and keyp would achieve this well!

Something about the new Honey exposé video

The metroid prime 4 volt forge theme except it's #picotron!

Correcting on my earlier post: it turns out binding of isaac tiles are actually 26x26 and not 32x32 like I assumed, so the game fits even more comfortably in the #picotron rez than anticipated!

Turns out #picotron has almost the perfect resolution to adapt the binding of isaac sprites, meaning I was able to make this with no sprite size compromise!

...And if I print the result of store(filename, a), I get "invalid .p64.png file: not a valid PNG" even though it's definitely not appending .png to the filename. Weird.

Did some more digging and load_020i seems to be failing specifically at the part where it saves a temporary version of the fetched file to /ram/anywhen_temp. It's as if the file never gets stored properly to /ram

Correction: I was trying to load the wrong file there, but also it still doesn't work with the correct command ._.

However, if I look in the folder for august, there's definitely information about DOOM.p64 there but load_020i still fails to locate anything related to it...

...Huh, it turns out anywhen has no data at all on any file before may, which makes sense now that I think about it because that's when I first bought picotron. However, the creation date of the cart is listed as january 17th according to about.p64, so that's what initially led me astray.

Hey @lexaloffle.bsky.social, is it possible that anywhen straight up just doesn't work right now? I can't seem to restore my current project to any point in time of its existence, and some datetime formats seem to be straight up ignored/get corrupted somehow...

So like, is this just what we do on youtube to disgraced gamedevs now? We just roast their code?

I guess I'm not expressing approval nor disapproval, I'm just perplexed by the fact that there's even enough of an audience for this kind of content to exist in the first place.

Oh. I thought that was edited :(
