Support Discord?

Hey! I see not a lot of people are interested in this anymore..kinda lame since personally I find this better than Pico-8. But, I have a few questions for PQ93 and I know I will have issues along the way so just wondering, is there a discord server where I can ask others for help with certain issues?

If not I will reply to this thread with a discord set up and ready to go for PQ93. Pennie if you're reading this and, if you join it, I will make you the owner, just dm me.

Hi! There isn't a support Discord at the moment, no. Big things are coming in v1.0.2 later this year or early next year -- I can set up a Discord sometime along the way if you like. Otherwise, feel free to DM me any questions you have or post them here.

Awesome. I'd like to say that, though this project may not be as popular as other fantasy consoles, you're doing a great job and PQ93 has scored as my favorite one so far, keep up the good work! In regards to the discord, I'd be glad to help you out, or moderate,  something along those lines.

Edit: Forgot to mention, my Discord is Delta-1#8456 if you want to send a friend request my way.

I appreciate your kind words. :) I released PQ93 pretty prematurely -- at the time I just wanted to get it released "finally", as I had written most of it a year or so prior before largely abandoning the project for school + work. I spent like a week fixing it up a little before release. The new version will have lots of quality of life fixes for creators, as I try to make PQ93 into a tool that's actually nice to use.

Not to spoil too much, but features like autocomplete and undo/redo have been completed so far, along with lots of bug fixes.

Oml thank you for the undo/redo lol. I was losing my mind over it. If you havent already please make it so I can click and drag text, and pasting text doesn't seem to work, which would be nice to have.  Lastly, I think you should have Script tabs, similar to the ones in Pico-8, but perhaps they are on the left side of the code editor. I am fine editing with one big script in my IDE but I think others would really like this idea.

Currently there still isn't mouse selection for text (or selection for text in general), but I will try to work this in. Pasting text was broken for Unicode or extended ASCII but should now be fixed -- although non-ASCII characters are rendered as the "sad box". I haven't considered script tabs, but I have considered the possibility of adding indent-based code folding.

I've been posting some "sneak previews" on my Twitter, if you want to follow progress on the project: https://twitter.com/transmutrix/status/1460112281585520643

Sweet, I'll take a look.
