Topic: SmileBASIC (Petit Computer 2)

sigh I made an account on that website. I got the verification email and put in the code. Now I can't sign in.

Actually, a number of regular Petit Computer users are already working on something like that. I'll let you know when they finish it so you can join their chatroom.

@Morpheel: I was able to Register to the site. After I join d the Chatroom it went totally haywire. I was able to chat and enter a few things. Then when I left the chat to tour the website it logged me out. Now I can't log back in. I keep getting error. So I will try back there later. I like what they are doing with that page.

Oh btw I got the Atari Volume 2 cartridge in the mail. It works fine. I played a bit of it last night. Man those games bring back some memories. I need to find something with all the activision games. I loved those games

FIVE MOAR MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just downloaded it... Twice!

I couldn't leave my 2DS out of the fun.

I'm gonna put it on my sister's 3DS later, too! Gotta try out that multiplayer somehow!

As a side note, it seems the only DLC you can purchase is the golden membership for the online.

It increases the amount of programs you can upload from 10 to 100 and the max file size from 4mb to 20mb.

I couldn't check the price. It gave me an error when I tried to purchase it.

I have to wait till tomorrow how do you like it so far @Morpheel

So, anyone have any luck with any of the audio based data transfer programs? I've messed around with Petit Modem and P/SEND2 a little, with limited success. It's hard since all the text is in Japanese!

@Windy: I was only able to tinker around with the premade programs so far because I have been baking a cake for my dad's birthday. I'll be able to give a better look later.

So far it looks really nice.

@Morpheel: sounds good. But you need to fedex me a piece of that cake lol

I don't think there will be any leftovers

About SmileBasic, is it just me or is animating sprites just a lot harder now?

Yay so fun

"From Lumage (one of the site developers):
Hi, sorry you're having trouble with smilebasicsource.com. It's possible that you registered as we were resetting the database, and your account was wiped along with it. Please just re-register and things should be working better now. If the chat still doesn't work, you might have an outdated browser, and we've gotten reports that it does not work on Safari.
Sorry for the inconvenience."

I'm starting to think I may need to create my own smiletool.

The default one is really clunky and not very useful. Or at least the painting program.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get precise colors, or a way to extract a color from the image. Or something. Also, I have no idea of how to unload the font file once it's loaded.

Edit: it seems that to copy colors it's L+touch.

If you make an improved SmileTOOL, replace the little numpad used to find specific numbered assets with a calculator. I know when working on games before I used a calculator a lot, so having one built into SmileTOOL would be really useful!

Actually, I figured doing a new smiletool with all the functions this one has would take too much effort lol.

Maybe some day though.

Anyway... I kind of spent enough time with this for today. It's already 2 am. I'll go to sleep.

Oh, I just assumed you were just going to make a few tweaks to SmileTOOL. I guess I'll look into it later, abd see if I can add it. Having a quick access calculator would be perfect!

Oh, adding a calculator to the existing smiletool would be pretty easy.

Okay, forgive the ignorance. I am not a programmer, nor have any desire to program my own games. But, the idea of playing user-created games appeals to me, especially if it's stuff you guys create. Do you think this will be worth purchasing for that? How in-depth are these games that users create?
