I seem to have a problem: my cursor becomes invisible when it enters the game. I’m using Chrome/Windows 11.

The game uses it’s own cursor graphics, which might be hidden for some reason.

Though it first determines if the in-game cursor should show up at the computer cursor’s position by checking if the cursor position changed over 5 frames. It could be either your mouse or chrome failing to update the cursor position on 1 frame. (This check is mostly to prevent the cursor showing up while playing on a phone, which is hard to detect on pico-8.)

Another reason why it’s not showing up is that your keyboard might have a key detected as held for some reason. I noticed the in-game cursor is hiding when the cursor isn’t moving, or just flickering. (This check is so that the cursor hides when using the keyboard instead of the mouse.)

If you still don’t see the cursor at all, I’ll probably adjust the check.
