those findings are concurrent with my own.. lua is very slow when it comes to multiple small blits. you have to be clever and combine your small blits into a few large ones, only update what has changed, etc.. i hope my game will be a good example of this when i finally release it.

that looks pretty useful..

it could be done.. but it wouldn`t be easy.. if you`re looking for a first project, this might be a little overwhelming..

i'm sure the actual code for midi support wouldn't be too large, but the resulting samples required to support the gm soundbank would take up a lot of space.. unless you go with fm synthesis (for that early 90s nostalgia)..

i was thinking about a similar idea. it would be great to be able to code on the psp, like you can with a ti-83 programmable calculator.. i'm sure most of you have seen one of these, but basically it uses a menu system to group similar commands/keywords, for example, one menu for control statements ...

outch! added the clean solution (by shine) to the wiki here greets there are some problems with that method.. every time any control changes, it will re-read all controls being held, as if you pressed them a second time.. also, you have no way to know how long each individual control has been held,...

ya, that was a fairly quick hack in notepad, not tested at all.. just a general idea. it should have been ==

upCount = 0 downCount = 0 function checkPad() local pad = Controls.read() if pad:up() then upCount = upCount + 1 if upCount == 1 then shiftUp() end else upCount = 0 end if pad:down() then downCount = dow...

yes.

"return" basically kicks the program out of the function.. when the program hits that line, it exits the function immediately, and returns to the point just after where you called the function.

the latest version saves them as png files automatically..

agreed.

version 3 is the best..

if i didn't see it with my own eyes, i wouldn't believe it either.

no, but it might not be a bad idea if there was..

i think the new version fixed this already.

yeah, looks like you're probably retriggering it multiple times because the button is being held down.

the screenshot looks promising.. have you implemented full 32-bit color?

isn't it funny how you can always spot the answer 5 minutes after making a thread about it? :)

looks like you might beat shine to the punch :)

good luck to you both!

well, first everthing is backwards. here is the order you want to do things... step 1: draw things to the framebuffer (like screen:print) step 2: wait for vertical sync (waits for screen to be ready) step 3: then flip the buffer (this step actually shows what you've drawn in step 1) additionally, ma...

lua is not a web browser..

if you want to animate things, use the framebuffer.

nice release. the speed is impressive.. even with many balls on the screen, it still goes fast! i'm sure you know this, but the bouncing is a little buggy, sometimes they seem to bounce before they hit the wall. and once when i locked a ball in a 1-block tall area at the top of the screen, it was bo...

can't be done automatically at this point.

burn in the screen? I didn't know that's possible with an lcd screen. Did the Pixel unstuck video work for you? Here's hoping that Sony has built a long living machine. Can't easily find a 1.5 anymore :-( basically, you can see a faint outline of images, especially the high-contrast parts, like whi...

"Gah my name was supposed to be tshock not thsock"

i think that's the funniest thing i've read on these forums :)

no, but i've managed to burn in the screen..

i've since added a 'screensaver' mode to my games to avoid this problem.

i'm pretty sure i'm using this successfully in my game. it might have been os.time, i don't remember.. i'll check when i get done work.

i think there's supposed to be a link somewhere in this thread.
