53:37 If you want to convey specifically that these are police vehicles without wasting extra sprites on them, you could have the code manually place some blinking blue and red pixels on the tops of those trucks to give them flashing emergency lights.

Games are never finished, they are only abandoned.
@LazyDevs Күн бұрын
I mean sure. But that sounds quite defeatist. The point of avoiding perfectionism is well taken. But also the term "abandonment" is being stretched here to mean a wild range of conditions

@@LazyDevs it was a modification of the quote from, Paul Valéry, "Aux yeux de ces amateurs d’inquiétude et de perfection, un ouvrage n’est jamais achevé, - mot qui pour eux n’a aucun sens, - mais abandonné." Translated in English to, "in the eyes of those who anxiously seek perfection, a work is never truly completed-a word that for them has no sense-but abandoned." The quote has been reused by multiple artistic creators who bemoan that eventually they have to "abandon" their work, and publish something to the public. It isn't meant to be defeatist and could be interpreted as anti-perfectionist as you say. I think what is meant is that no matter how good something is, it could always be improved, but you have to be happy enough that is good enough to "abandon"/release it to the public to enjoy (or critique it). The Pico-8 community is more than blessed with Porklike, Cow Shmup, High Stakes. Shape of Mind, Pico Checkmate, Mai-Chan's Sweet Buns, and your other games. If half the Pico-8 community abandoned games as good as yours, we wouldn't have time to watch your excellent tutorial series, we would be too busy playing games.

@@LazyDevs , KZbin deleted my comment. I guess they don't like French. I will summarize: the quote is a variation of Paul Valéry's. It basically means that even perfectionists need to publish / "abandon" their work for the public to enjoy or critique it We are blessed by the quality of the games you choose to abandon.

Normalizing the palette index seems like a useful idea, I always kinda make a bit of a mess with hardcoded values in the fade which I guess is fine but editing it afterwards is annoying. PS: Wouldn't a for loop be cheaper than a repeat until decrementing in the wait function?

Whenever I heard anyone talk about Ikaruga, I've heard nothing but praise for the Polarity system, the music, and even the story of the game. And now that I'm learning about how Shmups work, I can see how Ikaruga was able to break so many rules of Shmup design and still have the game work and be fair BECAUSE of the Polarity system. This is the first I've heard of it being controversial.

Interesting. So Credit Feeding seems to be one of the earliest methods of Pay-To-Win in gaming history, since you're literally feeding the machine money to get extra lives and win.
@LazyDevs 7 күн бұрын
There are a lot of parallels to modern monetization strategies. But the details do matter. For example, using a continue would wipe the score. So credit feeding would get you all the way to the credits but it wouldn't get your name on the Highscore List.

I was thinking I'd see some more accessible shmups like Tyrain, Ikaruga, and Jamestown (I always play co-op). It's got 2 outta 3.

Hi Christian! I'm so happy I found this series because I've wanted to learn Pico-8 for awhile (and also just have been trying to get into programming for awhile) but it all seems so scary, but you make it so much more approachable, so thank you! I had a question: when we are making the ship bounce back and forth earlier in the episode, when we met the "if" condition of Harry>120 and the speed is set to -2 to move to the left, why does it keep moving to the left even after Harry is back under 120? Isn't the condition no longer met so the speed should no longer be -2? Or does it only set the speed to -2 WHEN we reach the condition and then it remains that way until a different condition changes the speed again? (like Harry<0 setting the speed back to 2). I mean I imagine the latter to be the case because that's kind of what seemed to be happening with what we saw but I was still a little confused :0
@LazyDevs 15 күн бұрын
Yes, you answered your own question. The speed is a variable. It remembers its value across frames. When it changes to -2 it stays that way until something else changes it.

Pico-8 is such pure joy to work in. I love the tracker. I wish zep would add midi input so it would be simple to type notes in with a USB piano keyboard. (It's much easier for me as a composer to see the piano layout in front of me when inventing melodies) But, it's possible to write a script to do this (sends midi notes to Pico 8 as keystrokes)...got it working on Windows and Linux.

Hey Christian. Thanks for all the great tutorials. You have a real flair for instruction. I'm curious... Pico-8 has been out for quite a while but it's still in v0.2.68? What, if anything, does this number tell you about the developer's plan for a "final product"? Asked another way, the tool seems pretty stable and baked at this point, so what's keeping it from v1.0 and do you have a sense for why it's still so far from that (numerically)?
@LazyDevs 22 күн бұрын
The biggest feature keeping us from 1.0 is the Leaderboards API. This feature has been in the works for a while. Understandably, networking is a huge can of worms and now Picotron also got in the way. But I am confident we will get there eventually

I noticed that often you think a lot about the wording (e.g. When you hesitated to call it "Enemy Behaviour" over "Behaviour", and then the word shortening at 46:47) but aside from fitting more words on screen does this have a significant effect on token count? In my program I usually use the full words, for my own sake to remember what exactly I am doing, as when I return later I often forget my own shorthand 😅... Just curious if this is just a good habit for more complex programs later on?

Question: If you want focus fire and hyper/bombing in your game, why not just have the ship auto-fire when no button is pressed and then use one button for focus and the other for hyper? (sorry if you addressed this at some point, but that thought was bugging me the entire video lol)
@LazyDevs Ай бұрын
Good question. Yes, we discussed this previously. I don't want the ship to auto-fire because I want the player to be the one who is shooting. I don't want them to be just "along for the ride". Also as you saw we had situations in play-testing where players did want to stop shooting.
