ornaments for #picotron 0.2.1c tracker: like arpeggios, but only two notes. The high nibble is the semitone offset (or 0 for silence), and the low nibble is the tick speed. It can be used for all kinds of articulation (rolls, grace notes etc), swung accents and of course filthy volume oscillation.

A faster tline3d() codepath for #picotron 0.2.1c // dividing by w every 8 pixels normally doesn't look too bad and is identical for affine things like sprite rotation, so I think it should be the default.

Unsaved changes asterisk for #picotron 0.2.0i -- it watches an optional hint function passed to wrangle_working_file() for possible changes (e.g. when the undo stack position changes) and occasionally compares with the last saved version to confirm. In this GIF I'm undoing back to the saved state.

Folder-wise anywhen browsing for #picotron 0.2.0i: add /@ to get a list of days & times the contents of the folder changed, and then view (and run!) the files as there were at that point in time.
Read-only, of course (but you can drag-and-drop from the past into the present).

WIP #picotron anywhen:// listings: a single file can be viewed as a folder containing every point in time it was modified (by month/day).
The different versions are treated just like regular files and can be run straight out of the anywhen:// folder (as in the gif).

More work on Splore for #picotron 0.2.1
The idea is: find stuff you like on the BBS, and then drag carts left into the bookmarks lists.
Some lists have special meanings; e.g. "Screensavers" becomes the list you choose from in Settings > Screensavers.
