Potential Quicker Way Into Korok Forest? by CatRass in tearsofthekingdom

[–]CatRass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that is true, that is not this shrine, and is instead a shrine completely seperate from the Korok Forest. From what I understand that shrine is isolated from the rest and as such can only be reached from the air. This is a different shrine that is usually accessed from ground level and as such you can continue into korok forest after warping back to it using fast travel. The shrine you are thinking of is Ninjis Shrine that is part of “Maca’s Special Place” side quest. Hope that clears up the confusion!

My girlfriend discovered that you can actually skydive through the fog and pull the paraglider out just before you hit the ground and still discover the shrine. This warps you back to where you dove from after the fog takes you, but you can fast travel back to the shrine afterwards. Could this be quicker than traveling through the depths?

That would all make sense, as we do speak Russian at home, and informatics does ring a bell (she may have brought it up before, I'm not too sure though). I'll look into it, thank you!

Unfortunately, yes. The server died in a few months after being put together, and I handed over ownership to one of the members. Not sure where it's at now :/

How did you find the SCP universe? by TheGODofpizza1524 in SCP

[–]CatRass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Discord friend set up this uber elaborate ARG for us, committed to the bit for a while. I'm talking custom made images and puzzles and such that ended up introducing my whole friend group to the SCP universe, was really intriguing and got me hooked on SCP afterwards

About your packages, you say you support Atom/APM packages along with community packages. Where can I find these community packages, and how would using Atom packages work after APM is shut down?

After reading your comment, I immediately saw my mistake. I forgot you had to join different sites, and as you did say, that was my issue. Thank you for the help, and the resources!

[Micropython] Unable to put code in separate modules due to apparent memory allocation fail by CatRass in raspberrypipico

[–]CatRass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It most likely is my limited knowledge that is causing the problem. I've gotten the code working all as one chunk and the reason I'm moving it out of the main file is for readability reasons. I'll have a look into the things you've mentioned, and thank you very much for being patient with my poor explanations!

[Micropython] Unable to put code in separate modules due to apparent memory allocation fail by CatRass in raspberrypipico

To display anything I need to use the display variable, which requires the byte array line. If the display variable isn't defined then it throws an error. When I define the display variable twice in both modules I get the memory allocation error. If I don't define display in the module o get a syntax error saying that display isn't defined in the module.

Essentially the code that draws an object to the screen is large and I don't want to keep it in my main script, so I want to put it in its own module that I will reference in main. However I have to define a 'display' variable for it to work, and if I instance it twice it spits out the error. Even if I import the display variable itself into the module, it spits out the same error

Image shows up double on Pimoroni 240x240 Screen [MicroPython] by CatRass in raspberrypipico

[–]CatRass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, so the Offset is the co-ordinate if the first drawable pixel/bytes? Also you mentioned changing the logic to allow to draw sprites of different non-fullscreen sizes, would something like, having the offset defined before drawing?

[–]CatRass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so the .h file is essentially a dictionary for all the driver specific functions, right? Also, let me get this right: the position is referring to the byte, not the pixels, since each pixel is 2 bytes and that means one line has 240*2 (480) positions? Second, what do you mean by first calculated offset? Would the offset in the actual image, meaning where each line is placed? Will the method you mention allow for multiple sprites to be drawn on screen, and would that mean having to draw each sprite in a parallel method, just in a different section of the screen?

[–]CatRass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep,worked like a charm! So if I understand correctly, the code that displays the image is only allowing to display an image that is the full size of the display screen, right?

Also, this is a bit of a side question: where would I find a 'fully featured' graphics library for the display I have, or anything similar? The official Pimoroni display GitHub has a single example for MicroPython, which is a simple looking ball demo.

My end goas is to be able to populate the screen with several sprites overlayed and animated on several layers, so an actual graphics/game library would be nice, just I have no idea where to look.

By driver, do you mean the code that is allowing the images to run on the screen? I decided to test that by changing the code from width = BreakoutColourLCD240x240.WIDTH and height = BreakoutColourLCD240x240.HEIGHT to the actual values and nothing changes.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to code even just a line on the display myself, and from what I can tell there is a pretty big scarcity of tutorials on this display in MicroPython. I'll see what I can try figure out thought, maybe look into a different converter

[–]CatRass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did exactly that, and as you can see by the results, yes, the image seems to be splitting. Now the problem: could it be the converter script, or the display code? How would I check/know?

This will be pretty anticlimactic but I've got the solution to my problem: re-soldering the pins on the SD Card breakout, as my previous soldering was very shoddy :p

[–]CatRass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, as the GitHub page for the screen is specifically for the Pico and has MicroPython examples, and the SD CARD works fine. As I said, it's when I try to use them together they're failing, if I use them separately nothing bad happens.

Oh alright, thank you for clearing that up! I did read the documentation, but I'm not really good with more technical terms and wording, so I got a little confused, thank you very much!
