itch.io

Huh, that’s what I uploaded. I’ll fix it.

Updated: forgot to mask out some bits from the first attribute byte written, so it was incorrectly spacing and adjusting ‘!’ depending on which font you used.

(Updated 12/19: Fixed a bug with the spacing of ‘!’)

(Note 1/1: The filename will probably need to be renamed, itch seems to be mangling it!)

This can be modified or stripped down quite a bit, but the main takeaways are:

• Using a stringified font produced by this cart only costs two tokens (just paste the string that running it copies to your clipboard!)
• You can paste in your own sprite font, provided it uses color 0 for transparency; any color other than 0 is taken to be “on” because the custom fonts supported by PICO-8 are colored as usual
• It’s configured for either variable-width or fixed-width fonts (and erases any empty space padding in the former case)
• If you use variable width, remember that printing returns the furthest x position, so you can easily determine word wrapping by drawing off-screen

Good luck, hope this helps!

I’m impressed you set aside enough characters for the _set_fps call! On Lite Raid for the last TweetTweetJam, it was something I couldn’t make space for at all.

I thought it was a pretty cool mix! I would maybe make a couple things a little easier to palette-swap, and a couple of the sprite sheets had graphics that were already palette swaps of each other, but there was a lot of everything to use!

I really enjoyed “Banana Knights.” Maybe next time!

Looks like itch.io ate some of my crucial newlines! Oops! Anyway, there's an annotated version at https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=37801
