Also re: file write limit – the write limit occurs when the file is repeatedly opened and closed in a short period of time and not strictly when the write() function is called repeatedly (that is, it occurs when the file is repeatedly written to long-term storage and not when the file is modified in RAM). The write limit can be avoided by keeping the file open while you do reading/writing and only closing it once you're completely done accessing it.

@faz808 You can get file length by checking len(fileHandle). It's not documented, as far as I know, but len() treats the file just like it treats a string or an array. Note that you can't delete characters from a file, only overwrite, so the file length may not tell you how much usable data is actually in the file. My suggestion is to pick a particular unicode character to represent unallocated file space, use that character to overwrite any data you want to delete from the file, and then search for that character to find the end of the valid data within the file.

Just ran into this problem too. I hope it will be fixed in the next patch!

Great! Glad I could help 😊

Hey, thanks for featuring my game in the high score challenge. I’ve been away from the Fuze community for a little while, (busy with other things) so I didn’t see this before.

Yes, there is a small change to the pin size based on difficulty setting. The ‘actual’ pin sprites are invisible, so you don’t see the change.

getMapAreas() demo project is done, share code UPS33MND51
In it, you define areas on the map where layers are to be turned into popups:

And then these bits can be "walked around" in the game:

(I'm working on getting the tags right, only a question of a couple of years!)

It is not the most memory efficient way to go about planting a lot of identical trees, mind. If you have a managable set of possible things to populate your popup sprites with, use the BATS code, generalized. Easier, too.

This seems like your most polished creation so far dude. Very impressive indeed! I'll be messaging you about a Made with Fuze release!

@kat Awesome thanks so much I'll give it a try

@poof92 This is cool! Custom artwork, you've got a map going, scrolling, the inventory started... looks good!

@kyborg Great! Glad I could help :)

Unfortunately, I think due to the sheer volume of information and the resulting printing costs it's something we're unable to offer.
