did n00bstar send you his files? i was searching for them, and then re-read that it's a bugfix only big_smile haha

so this snapcraft gather all the needed library and build the snap automatically from the regular github repository? this is great, thanks for this!

--dangerous o______________o'

BTW, i just read that you can register your snap to get listed in the official snapd repository, and have your snap auto built and included (up to 4 times a day): https://snapcraft.io/docs/build-snaps/ci-integration

I checked sunvox http://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/ recently and they have that nice idea of including a simple_examples folder, it's just simple effects you can use or combination that gives a kind of kickstart to people who have no idea what they are doing, just wanted to share, could be nice for prototracker, i know there are some techniques worth sharing! spread the wisdom!

any plan to add more example songs too? noobstar prototracker album! when? :0

btw i'm not sure you check the klystracker thread komet,
is there any settings to speed up the tracker? i see it has cool animation when the cursor move, etc and it makes it really slow here (i use free drivers, etc so maybe everything graphic is quite slow, it's not a recent computer too), but i also tested on another laptop with bleeding edge updates, it's faster but still laggy, especially compared to prototracker).

i am windows free :] i remember this shortcut on windows, some photoshop shortcut had conflict with it, the kind of stuff that drives people crazy till he figures it out,

i searched and on linux, it's easy as well, it's just a command on the shell:

setxkbmap us

Prototracker (TM) web-version-AZERTY-betatester reporting in!

- when changing the note(s), the keys are recognized as qwerty (which is really confusing since, the keys are recognized as azerty when writing the effect letters),

so typing w (in azerty) enter D_octave+1 (which is the qwerty layout), instead of C_current-octave

I would rather recommend appImages (or both):

I saw this one on Krita's page some times ago, thanks for reminding me, completely forgot about it!

Appimage is great, you can run directly any version of the app without requirements issues,
but you have to trust each appimage you download, and they are not sandboxed by default (?):

>> Can also run in a sandbox -- http://appimage.org/

the thing i like about snapd is that it is about to become available on most distribution by defaults, even on stables ones, and then you have access to a new snap repository on the command line, you can automate the process of distributing your software and/or update to the latest version automatically,

sorry for the offtopic Komet! :]

the help system is good, a kind of cheatsheet is interesting, like hitting a shortcut displays all the effects, i'm sure that after a certain time you know them by heart smile haha,

btw i'm not sure if you're interested by linux, but https://snapcraft.io/ seems to be pretty good, it's a packaging system, it was added to ubuntu and fedora recently, will soon be on debian stable (can't wait!), it allows to distribute software and be able to run them even if your system isn't on the bleeding edge ; if you don't have the latest libraries, it's not a problem since the package includes them, also it runs in a sandbox , so no security issues,

i haven't read about it too much, but it can auto build from github: https://build.snapcraft.io/ and once compiled the software get pushed to the repository where user can sync the latest version without having to worry about anything else,

being able to run a stable distribution with the latest software version is something really interesting smile)

installing 2.0.5 is a nightmare, i checked https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

they advise to "Please contact your distribution maintainer for updates", so basically on debian you have to install the unstable branch of the OS, it's not even available in the testing branch

you need 2.0.5 for the joypad bit? i could compile the last version with libsdl2-dev 2.0.2

stretching my head to read what was running on that psp in the promo video, it's ruckus:

>>You seem to have understood the magical note that appeared on all tracks.

yes, it took me a while to understand that all channels starts with the same 00 pattern! :0

is it a protracker legacy? it doesnt' bother me now, but i found it wierd at first to see a song using the 4 exact same patterns,

your video was helpful, just following your steps  with the doc on the side, made me get the reason why, thanks again,

>> Can you put in e.g. FF in the sequence?

do you mean in the effect zone's value? yes i can write F as value where the zero won't be written,
(any hexadecimal is ok, as long as it is a letter, numbers don't work)

If i write z in the effect zone, it writes z, same with w, it writes w,

Just a question, i can write both z and w as effect, but z is not listed as effect, what happens when i do that?

thanks, the mystery that prototracker is, is unraveling smile

I think i encountered a bug, when setting an effect (or editing the channels numbers on the top right),
i can't change the numbers (even in edit mode), maybe is it linked to my azerty keyboard? (tried to shift-&, which is 1, just 1/& or the keys from the number pad, but it's not working) ; i can set an effect but it won't move from the 00 original state.

I'd love to pitch in for music and sounds, but I never used the pico8 tracker. Are the development tools free? Or can you share your license? Anyways.. here's some of my crappy music, see if you like it: https://n00bstar.bandcamp.com/

it's $15 http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php#getpico8 for the whole thing, you might get it cheap on humblebundle sales, or get it free if you buy certains hardware like the pocketchip https://getchip.com/pages/pocketchip

Krajzega, how difficult are you findin pico8 code? i havent coded since the 90's and im worried it wont be as easy as they put it

it's lua, i'm not a seasonned coder and i find it quite reacheable,

the good part is that pic8 carts (the way you distribute your game) keep the code in a readable state, so if you're curious or searching for inspiration you can see how any game were made,

a lot of people are sharing bits of code too, converting traditional effects, like the ones you can see in the demoscene, or popular algorythm like cellular automata, etc

you need SDL & SDL_image to compile the sources, i think so,
