// #picotron edition

@zep does #picotron detect the desktop folder on the host machine differently to #pico8? for some reason, i can't save screenshots or GIFs from it, even though in PICO-8 everything works fine (arch linux, locale set to eo.UTF-8, therefore the desktop directory is actually ~/Labortablo)

Don't you wish your torso could match your #picotron desktop? Screen-printed t-shirts in actual themed.p64 colours (15, 6, 23, 17, 0) will be available at the @picopicocafe booth (L-9) at #pixelartpark in Yokohama this Sunday!

Why was there an Import Spritesheet but not an Export in the #picotron gfx editor? Because I got used to doing store("foo.png", --[[pasted gfx pod]]) from terminal, and forgot how ridiculous that is.

Here's the stream from last week's @tokyoindies.com where I show some #doodlemud / #picotron scoresub WIP, and near the end Shoma shares some design notes on Carrot Kingdom.

More surreal rendering tests for #picotron 0.3.1, this time with tline3d textures x colour tables. Notes and gif:

Checking that quad boundaries join up with no holes or overlaps. This one kind of reminds me of a colour plate from an 80s siggraph paper. #picotron

Glowy quads for debugging #picotron, and suddenly a 90s advertisement for B2B IT Solutions appears.

WIP doodlemud for #picotron
(you can turn into a ball whenever you like)

Going over some of the finer points of #picotron accounts. podnet:// folders can only be listed by the owner, and so filenav reacts to that state change after switching accounts. podnet and scoresub() are arriving Monday-ish, along with PUT and POST fetch() requests. Get your 16x16 user icons ready!
