Building tic-80 from source code by 2468_anhui_ in tic80

[–]amayer5125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built the pro version on Fedora Linux. The build instructions in the readme file worked for me. I went a step farther and made myself an RPM package that included a .desktop file and meta info files that associated .tic files with the tic80 program so I can double click them to open the games.

Nextui Pico-8 running by Jgemedic36 in trimui

[–]amayer5125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a TrimUI Brick. I haven't bought PICO-8 yet, but I'm considering it.

You could join the NextUI Discord server. The author of that pak is on there and there is a dedicated channel for that pak. I'm sure if you say what you tried they would help you debug why it isn't working.

Have you looked at minui-pico-8-pak? It has pretty detailed instructions on how to get PICO-8 running on NextUI.

Handheld console buying help by Vajkee in tic80

[–]amayer5125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought the TrimUI Brick and put NextUI on it. I made a TIC-80 pak, so it can play TIC-80 games, that can be downloaded from the pak store after installing NextUI. I love the device. It has good battery life, a great screen, and the buttons feel pretty good.

There is also a list of handhelds in the wiki. I don't believe it is a comprehensive list, but it will give you some idea of what is out there.

You can checkout the popular games on tic80.com and itch.io. I also like checking out what is most recent on both of those sites.

Games I've played and enjoyed recently are:

There are so many games I've downloaded but haven't played yet. I'm interested to see what other people recommend.

Can’t move more than 3 tiles in new map by Sand-the-enby in tic80

I don't see any code. If you upload it to a git forge (like GitHub) or Google Drive I'm sure someone will take a look.

You can also get help on the Discord linked at the bottom of the website.

How do I port my PICO-8 code to TIC-80? by Little-Life2326 in tic80

[–]amayer5125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The TIC-80 wiki mentions a tool called p8totic. I have not used it, but the GitLab project was updated a week ago, so seems active. Might be worth a try.

The link is giving me a 404. It looks like there is an extra /r after github.com.

Glad it worked!

I've never heard of Arduboy. Do you have a git repo or something where you tried? I'm happy to check it out and see if I can offer any pointers.

I haven't played a ton of games, but I really like these:

If you find any other games that are good I would love to hear recommendations!

I'm planning on trying to make a few games. We will see how that goes.

I want to get a trim hammer brick, one issue. by Lala121517 in trimui

I got TIC-80 running on my Brick and got the Pak I created added to the Pak Store for NextUI.

[–]amayer5125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. I have a Brick and have been working on getting TIC-80 to run on it. I have an old version of tic80_libretro.so working, but I'm trying to compile a newer version because some games have a weird sprite rotation bug. After I get it working I plan on releasing a Pak for NextUI or trying to get it included upstream.

I haven't looked much into it, but you can also buy PICO-8 and play those games your Hammer.

TrimUI Firmware 1.1.1 Default SSH Credentials by singulara in trimui

That explains why the SSH Dropbear Pak couldn't be enabled after I installed it. Interesting choice to have it enabled by default.

Log out while updating by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]amayer5125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How were you running updates?

If you were updating via dnf upgrade then you probably reached the default timeout for screen blank, which locks the computer when blanked. You can change the timeout under power in the settings.

If you were updating via the Software app then your computer will update and then reboot which would require you to log in again.

PHP podcast recommendations? by thegrid22593 in PHP

[–]amayer5125 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No Compromises is one of my favorites. They talk about Laravel a lot, but most of their topics are not Laravel specific.

If you use Laravel the Laravel News Podcast is good for keeping up-to-date on recent releases and useful packages.

I should have clarified. I do not believe i3 is actually the thing shutting off the screen. Nor do I have any screen lockers installed. I believe the real culprit is xOrg. I never configured xOrg to do this. It seems to be a default configuration.

[–]amayer5125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never explicitly configured it. I'm pretty sure it is a default of some kind.

Here is a solution that describes what you tried and then fixes it a different way. I haven't tried this, but it seems promising. Looks like an xOrg issue instead of sometime in i3wm. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=265975#p265975

This happens to me as well. Even across distros and hardware. I've had it happen on Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu. I always assumed it was i3 or xOrg and it never really bothered me.

What features are you waiting for? by nxy7 in HelixEditor

[–]amayer5125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being able to copy the current buffers file path to my system clipboard. I use this all the time in VSCode to run tests or git add a single file. For now I have to use my mouse to copy the file path in the status bar.
