Tiny Drops

Bounce tiny drops that fall from the sky to make music! This began as a 500-character cart for TweetTweetJam 8.

Controls:

• Click and drag the mouse to draw lines, or to move line endpoints.
• Z/X deletes a line. If your mouse is over a line endpoint, it'll delete that line, otherwise it'll delete the newest line.
• Left/right changes line sounds. If your mouse is over a line endpoint, it'll change that line's sound, otherwise it'll change the sound for new lines.
• Up/down changes the interval between drops.
• E to start/stop audio export.
• S to save to the clipboard. In the web version, you'll need to press ctrl-C after this to complete the copy. (Or, on a Mac, ctrl-C so PICO-8 notices and then cmd-C.)
• R to restore from the clipboard.
• N to get a new empty scene.
• When you paste a saved scene into PICO-8, Tiny Drops will automatically load it. In the web version on Mac, you'll need to press cmd-V to paste and then ctrl-V to get PICO-8 to notice the paste.

Known issues:

• Can get slow if you trap too many drops on the screen.
• When you start to create a line, you may hear "phantom" bounces until you start dragging the mouse. (Happens with 0-length lines.)

You can also check out the code for the jam version in PICO-8 Education Edition. From the running cart, hit escape twice to get to the code editor, and hit ctrl-R to run the cart again.
