  3DS/New 3DS NA: $10, Not America: Who Cares BASIC programming thing on 3DS, sequel to Petit Computer, blah blah blah you know if you want this already. It has online sharing now so you don't have to scan a million QR codes to share programs, its more powerful due to being on 3DS (and supposedly 3x even more powerful on New 3DS), the API is improved, the editor is a little better, in my professional opinion It Is Good.

 With keyboard support!! They also just announced the 4th oogiri, submission period starts today and ends January 3rd. The main theme is "Ninja", but this year they are also accepting entries in the "useful gadgets" category, and a free-for-all open division. The winners' programs will show up in an issue of Petitcom Magazine and receive royalties from that, and there are some consolation prizes too, I think they sent out stickers last year. More info: http://smilebasic.com/en/ogiri4/ Finally, if you tried to buy Petitcom Gold before and couldn't, its fixed now. e: Its $1/month, or $5 for 6 months, for 10x more upload slots and 5x bigger size limit per slot.

Oh I missed some other announcements from the fan meeting: Solid Gunner, the headlining game of Petitcom Magazine vol 1 developed by Smileboom with graphics from the 1001 Spikes people is publicly available now: JD2EE2QV In the upcoming 3.3 update they're going to start selling DLC modules, the first set includes an "IP Catalog Collaboration" with Namco-Bandai and is a collection of sprite sheets from old Namco arcade games for a buck or two a pop, and by the wording of the press release is specifically not coming overseas due to licensing issues? The other module is the "Advanced Sound Unit" and includes FFT, biquad filtering, and streaming audio support and is $5. You'll have to buy the modules to run programs that use them which kinda sucks IMO, but at least now you can turn your DS into a guitar pedal if you really want to. The press release also has some more details on Petitcom BIG: its compatible with the 3DS version, but will also have additional Wii U-only functionality, such as a 800x480 display mode, 1024x1024 GRP pages, and wiimote/controller support, and its scheduled for spring of 2016 in Japan.

I can't get over how insane Arcanum Stone is for a Petitcom game, its at least as good as some doujin fighting games I've played on PC, some of the characters have some really interesting movesets. I was trying to find some other stuff that guy's done and ran into this, its a WIP of a weird top-down Splatoon kind of thing SKEX32HE There's an updated version of AS in there too, not sure what's different other than text being moved to an external file.

Lunar Saviors, yeah, that one is kind of cool, if maybe a little boring. Really you probably don't need a sequencer, writing MML directly is almost as easy. Check out Solid Gunner for what well-formatted MML can look like, and read the SmileBASIC MML reference. You can also bring it up by typing MML into the editor and then hitting the help button. e: Actually Solid Gunner's MML is a lot messier than I remember, I must have been thinking of something else.

There's no camera access either so you can't import QRs that way, but I did see a PC app for converting them. The BASIC dialect in Petitcom Mk2 isn't totally compatible with this version's though, so you'd have to do a little work porting stuff if you want to run older programs.

Would anyone be interested in a super casual one week, I hesitate to call it game jam, but make some half assed spooky games before next Saturday, Halloween kind of thing? Don't even know how many people actually have this thing, but I think running some events to keep people motivated/interested in SmileBASIC could be cool.

Yeah, the free storage is 10 slots @ 4MB a slot iirc, which is plenty for most projects. GRP pages are a couple hundred KB at most, so you'd have to have a lot of graphics or PCM audio samples or something to hit that limit. Also the subscription is only a buck a month, 80 cents if you go for 6 months at a time, which is insanely reasonable I think.

Here's something cool (that I stole from the GAF SmileBASIC thread), its a spooky Halloween maze game running on a basic raycasting engine. The engine is included as a library too and the API is pretty simple, so it might be something fun to mess around with.

Potsticker posted:Various questions I haven't looked into too hard yet: BG layers, you can set the Z coordinate with BGOFS. Easiest way to take screenshots is to make a Miiverse post. You could conceivably blit the BG layers and sprites into GRP if you needed it in a usable format though, but there's no built in functionality to do that.

I ran into a frustrating change from PTC2 to 3 that's holding up my halloproject. In 2 BG layers would wrap around when you scrolled off the edge and I'm pretty sure it implicitly took BG coordinates as modulo to the size of the layer. In 3 you just scroll off into the void and if you want long scrolling you have to manage it yourself. So I have to refactor a bunch of code that I stupidly wrote expecting the old functionality. I guess Novembers can be spooky too. Also I stumbled into a cool undocumented feature, when you assign an array to another array, it actually just makes another reference to the same data rather than doing a full copy. Seems like its reference counted too so it'll garbage collect an array once all references to it have been released.

Type NEW to clear out the program slots, it doesn't clear them automatically so as to make it easier to read the source for whatever you ran last. You have to use LOAD and SAVE from the command line to manage files inside the project. Graphics are the same way, running the Smile Tool doesn't disturb the graphics pages that are currently in memory, so you can inspect/edit graphics for the program that you've run last. If you want a totally blank sprite sheet you'll just have to paint over the default and save it. The keyboard on the Smile Tool might not have a colon, but you don't need it. I'm guessing you saw something like LOAD "GRP0:SPRITES" in the sample programs, but the GRP0: isn't part of the filename, that is the region of memory that you're telling the LOAD/SAVE functions to read/write to. Smile Tool already knows that you're dealing with whatever GRP page you happen to have selected in the tool, so you just need to type the filename after the colon. The best total beginner's guide is the electronic manual that you get to from the 3DS home screen, it covers just about everything on the architecture of the system including how files and projects work. Also the help button is context sensitive so if you type a command and hit help it will pop up some documentation for it.

It isn't possible with mode 4, because as you say the top screen is brought down to the same width as the bottom. You'll have to use modes 2/3 and manually implement whatever spanning you want to do rather than have one big framebuffer.

Yeah, they've made some PC game tools here and there, I just don't know if anyone actually uses them or not, but I guess they must sell if they keep making them. Their last one actually looked like a fairly cool IDE if you wanted to make HTML5 or mobile games. Also back in the XNA days they had a tool for making Xbox Indie games that was published by Enterbrain in their tsukuru line alongside RPG Maker/etc.

3.3.0 is out, here's the patchnotes: http://smilebasic.com/en/knownissues/ Handful of new instructions and cool new overloads for existing ones that seem pretty useful (MILLISEC!!), but this is mostly about the Sound Processing Unit DLC which is $5.
