LÖVE

In case anyone is interested in downloading SMPiano, I've put it up for free at https://xanthia.itch.io/scoreless-music-piano-for-r36s

Working on drums this week. My first collab project on love2D! Sounds and drum kit presets provided by Sönke Moehl / Low Entropy.

Coding the UI/UX to make sense for a game console's controller layout. Decided to use the left stick for tempo changing. Had to adjust the UI look to make it intuitive for the user too.

For those of you coding for the R36S game console, you might be facing an issue with writing files.

I scoured the net and wiki and implemented the usual fixes like setting identity, but it still didn't work to fix the issue.

Running the test code always works on my mac (to write files), but not on the R36S. So I wrote a quick FileSystem Tester for clues.

Turns out that it is likely a symlink issue by the way ArkOS sets up the save directory.

TIP: I was finally able to write files using the LUA I/O workaround. Will dig more into this and find a stable solution so that I can continue to code my main apps.
