Learning Voxatron, #2

I’m encountering some friction with learning Voxatron.

Here are the issues:

  • I can’t load carts from the BBS to learn from them. Not even the demo carts.
  • Fullscreen doesn’t work properly and I have to use a command to move the window, but the command doesn’t work all the time. It might just be my computer, though.
  • Very few tutorials and resources for learning Voxatron.
  • There’s no standard export.

About that last one: it’s a big one. Voxatron doesn’t currently support exporting other than to the BBS. It feels less meaningful if I can’t post the things I make on my site. (This is also a reason I haven’t made more stuff in C.) I’m not opposed to uploading to the BBS, I just want to post everything here. Back to the other issues, they’re to be expected: Voxatron is in Alpha.

The other side of the coin is that I don’t have a burning idea for Voxatron. If I did, none of this would matter. I’d power through all the obstacles, but as it stands, I don’t. I’m thinking I’ll return to Voxatron once it has regular export or I have a burning idea.
