Doring more experimenting with userdata operations in #picotron - this time out a particle system with batch drawing. The result: fireworks over Düsseldorf, reflected in the Rhine.

So, finding out userdata operations in #picotron are pretty powerful? Here's real-time handwritten digit recognition in Picotron, with the model updating each frame and only using around 4% of the CPU.

New Blog Post: The Year of the Picotron Desktop
arnaught.neocities.org/blog/2025/03...
It's been a year (March 14, 2024, I believe) since Picotron's alpha released, so I made a big blog post cataloging (most of) the stuff I've made in #Picotron in the past year!

#picotron mockup: stickers can be attached to any window and live in file metadata. They can be used to bookmark, annotate, or tag arbitrary files. For some apps, they can be attached with finer granularity: e.g. to a line of code or an xy on a map layer. Here is a dev/player making notes on a map.

Every day's a school day for me with #gamedev!
So used to working with RGB, nice to learn a bit of HSV for colour transitions!
Have the #dropzone style enemies in place (although some behave like #defender). Time to start adding some (semi) original stuff to this game!

bbs:// explorer is somehow way cooler than I imagined. I've already discovered 3 carts I somehow missed browsing the forum! It takes me back to listing the contents of dial-in BBS systems or browsing shareware disks. So cool #picotron

Changelog: www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico...
0.1.1e now sandboxes bbs carts by default. See: www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico...

My #Picotron Workstation! Running on a GPD Win 1 and using Eric Canales' Picotron Laptop Bridge. Took me a while to get to this point but it works with relatively few issues now :D
