Reposted by @bluasen.bsky.socialzep.p8 @lexaloffle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Why was there an Import Spritesheet but not an Export in the #picotron gfx editor? Because I got used to doing store("foo.png", --[[pasted gfx pod]]) from terminal, and forgot how ridiculous that is. 2822
Reposted by @bluasen.bsky.socialzep.p8 @lexaloffle.bsky.social · 25/07/2026More batch lerp() / line() tests for #picotron 0.3.1 The batch lerp can take a table of parameters that are each themselves an index into a quad definition. There's something like 3 layers of indirection going on there, but it enables a very tiny per-quad inner loop. (1000 polys / 60fps / 55% cpu) 512817
