I was working on a bitsy game for a couple of weeks but recently every time I paint a tile into the game, all of the tiles go blank and a seemingly random assortment of tiles get painted as well as the one I click on.  This is not permanent- when I click to a different room and click back, all is normal again.

I've tried creating a new game, using a different browser, and using bitsy on itch as well as on their website and it happens every time.

Let me know if anyone has any advice. Thanks!

i have tried doing this when moving between rooms but after taking me to the endings room it takes me straight back to the room the door connects to.

heres the text code

{

  - daysdoor == 5 ?

     you decide to waste a day going back to the starting room {shk} -1 day{/shk}{item "2" {{item "2"} - 1}}{daysdoor = daysdoor + 1}

  - {item "2"} <= 1 ?

     why did you do that?{pg}... no days left{drwi "days"}{item "2" {{item "2"} - 1}}you didnt need to do that.{exit "4" 3 5 "tunnel"}

  - {item "2"} >= 1 ?

      are you going to keep doing that?{pg}{shk}{wvy}... -1 day{/wvy}{/shk}{item "2" {{item "2"} - 1}}

}

Are the "random" sounds truly randomly generated?

And finally, how would you characterize the difference between the sounds generated by the "greeting" category and the "meow" category?

Thank you for any help you might be able to provide!

I do really want to actually make something however! I've put off doing something like this for so long in my life and I just want to do.. but could definitely use a little guidance, or maybe just some people to chat about the process with!

Any one knows what could be happening and if there's a solution?

Thanks in advance!

{exit roomID 6 16}

And then the variable 'roomID' holds the target room's ID number, which can then be changed so I can redirect exits without writing a bunch of if/then branches.

So far, this *almost* works; it changes to the correct room, but fails to place the Avatar anywhere in the new room, so the game becomes inoperable. I noticed the same thing happens if you format it like {exit 0 6 16} (forgetting the "" around the room number) so I thought "roomID" might work, but no luck so far.

Good luck everyone!

Nico.

Hi everyone! A couple of years ago, I completed this project in Bitsy, and I've finally gathered the courage to share it. However, when I open the project, black blocks briefly appear each time I enter a new room.

Has this happened to anyone else? Do you know why it might be occurring?

I've included the game link for reference. It's currently only available in Spanish (I plan to upload an English version as soon as I can resolve this issue).

Thank you very much!

I was showing a friend how to use bitsy, but couldn't find the room transitions anymore. has it moved elsewhere? how do we access it?

we made a cool cute thing together and would like to add that to the ending. I love the room transitions!!! lol

I wonder if someone can help me with the creation of an image using Pixsy + Bitsy

I have a game (https://lildeer.itch.io/un-mundo-sin-vos)  made with bitsy, which is already published, but I want to add another room which I want it to be and illustration:

I followed this tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJiRxRsVI5o ), but when I copy and paste the image data in my already developed game, I have as an outcome a superposition of sprites, tiles, rooms, and items all mixed up

I think that if I could know what exact part of the data image to copy and paste, and where exactly to paste it in the data of my game "Un mundo sin vos" it could work. Thanks

I do seem to be using the most updated version of the hack, as it in fact states it requires Bitsy 8.7 to run.

If anyone knows of a solution to this, I would be very happy to hear it so I can use this hack in future games.

- The kooltools bitsy hack https://kool.tools/bitsy/tools/bitsymuse-ui/, which I found through watching this tutorial  (I also watched one about borksy)  www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyVA2qAEFoA&t=3s - however, this did not work, and the tutorial seems to be demonstating on an older bitsy version.

-Using borksy to add the bitsymuse hack.

-Opening the games script using chrome > developer tools and adding the Github 'bitsymuse' hack in.

-  Candle's tool to add one audio to the game https://candle.itch.io/bitsy-audio (I would prefer multiple room audios but wanted to see if I could make any external music work!)

After downloading the 'hacked html' file in each case, I put it in a folder also containing the .mp3 or .wav music files (tried with both) and then opened it. However, nothing seemed to work. To be honest, I have next to no coding knowledge so I am 98% sure these are not working due to my own errors and misinterpreting instructions. 

I wondered if anyone had any tips, tutorials or advice as to how to make this work? Or other places to seek advice?

If so, thank you so much! If this is the wrong place to ask, sorry! 

Thanks

Has anyone encountered this? Maybe this is some kind of update that broke something?

Many games have very elaborate start screens/menus -- lots of bling along the outer margins of the game's 'main' page..... some of it is most excellent!!

Any tips/pointers on how to do that? Stars, starbursts...... etc. etc. ?

This is so distracting I can't make anything in this tool anymore. Everything suddenly jumps to a new position and I completely lose track of what I was doing.

Is there any way to disable this feature?

I was wondering if anyone knows of an alternate Asian font. The reason is that the default one tends to overlap if there is too much text on a line, and by "too much" I mean more than a few words at most. Is there any way to get the text to drop to the next line, if that makes sense? Right now, writing something in Japanese looks like this:

I read that bitsy can use custom fonts but they need to be in the bitsyfont format, which I don't really know much about. Is there a way to convert a Japanese font into a bitsyfont? If so, how should I go about doing that? Sorry for so many questions, I just really want to bug some of my Japanese friends into making bitsy games with me, ahaha.

Does anyone know what happened, or why this is happening?

#2 what is the maximum amount of exits from one room? 

#3 if i use long dialog + dialog choices, can i make this choices work as a consequences? so, player talks to npc, npc tells the info and only then it appears in choices. 

#how many choices can i maximum make using long dialog + dialog choices? 

thanks for reading ^_^

I just posted a new Bitsy dialogs tutorial. I've added it to the playlist, which is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNE1nfKgKSv7cR7QG7IIu-nEMHiVQsGNM

I have bitsymuse and exit from dialog in the game as well via Borksy (the latter I put in just for the ability to exit without specifying a location in the next room, which if there's a way to do with vanilla Bitsy's exits, I haven't found it yet).

I did notice that while it's still on the Borksy list, Sprite Effects is not on a lot of the other hack lists so it might just be that it can't work with newer Bitsy. If anyone knows one way or another, I'd be very thankful for the help!

I'm trying to combine two bitsy sections into one game (and will continue to add on to it). From my understanding it can be done, I'm mainly using Cecile Richard's stuff as a reference point and they have what I believe is different bitsy games as the avatar changes, for example from person, to cursors, or to invisible to just have visual animations and stuff. I'm not really sure how they've done it and would love some help though in very basic instructions! 

I've attempted to use bitsy merge but I don't think I'm using it correctly as once as I get to the end of one bitsy portion it just freezes up.  Would love some help or some directions to good videos or how to's if you know any, thank you!

I'm trying to trigger an ending from dialogue (I test the door, and, bizarrely, it opens this time.), but not sure how to do it. 

Context: the player needs to have an item to be able to open a locked door that they were previously able to use, which then will prompt the 'I test the door' dialogue, then should end. Currently, with the end I have added, it triggers without needing the item. Would I need to do a modified version of the code below? or change something in the ending code?

thanks!

You are Halfway Mouse, and you're all about choices that matter in games. But oh no, you're in a roguelike and everything is random - do your choices matter anymore?

What I'm picturing is a "depth crawl" - it's a linear dungeon where you start from the top, go to the bottom, and go back. Each step along the way is randomly generated.

Instead of exits we have sprites that will teleport you. To allow backtracking we'll have variables called ROOM_1, ROOM_2, etc. that start blank and get set when we use an exit.

So random rooms is kinda solved right?

But what else could we do? I'd like more random elements and maybe a fail state here and there so there can be jokes about permadeath.

I'm relatively new with Bitsy and working on my first game (exciting). I was curious to see if someone has done it/if its possible to insert a VO line when interacting with a sprite. 

I hope I'm in the right place to ask my question... I'm currently working on a project we have to build on Bitsy for university, and I have few questions about what could be done in Bitsy.

Basically, our project is the following one:

• You wake up, you're lost in a place you don't know
• Your screen shows a smartphone (and nothing else...)
• You only have 15% of battery left, you turned on the emergency mode of your phone
• In emergency mode, you have only 6 applications
• You loose 1% of battery every 30 secs
• The aim of the game is to be able to call the emergency as quick as possible (otherwise, you get lost in wild forever)

So now that you have the plot, here's what I'd like to do:

• Depending of the time you spent on the game, I'd like to decrease the level of battery
• I'd also like to send some messages to the play throughout a specific "application" on player's phone

For the rest, Ig I can manage the thing... fyi I have few notions in JS, so I can eventually code stuff by mysel.

A very big thank to you all <3

I'd like to make a comic out of a bitsy game I made and I'm wondering if I can use the standard Bitsy font for the text in the comic  & what license is attached to the font. Who made the font? Adam himself? Is there a TTF file for the font somewhere? I couldn't find anything on that topic, please excuse me if I missed something ^^

Thanks in advance!

Flo

this is for a game jam due sunday so im not sure this will be seen in time to help but.. yeah. it's making bitsy very hard to use
