FindC v1.1


PSPXavier has released an updated version of his PSP tool that aids in the design process of homebrew games. A side purpose of this application is the ability to find out the exact coordinates of those dreaded dead pixels. FindC v1.1 is a Lua application and stands for Find Coordinates. It is a program written in Lua that gives programmers a better idea of the coordinates on the PSP. According to the developer, "this is a quick program I made in Lua in the middle of coding another Lua game. I just wanted a break from the more technical stuff and do something easy and quick."

New for v1.1:
  • Slow speed added
  • Multiple backgrounds enabled
  • Welcoming menu added
  • X and Y coordinates now stationed at the top of the screen
  • Font size and color changed
  • Cursor changed
This application should prove useful for developers that just can't seem to get coordinates right, and will cut down on development time by a long way. This program requires Lua Player to run. Please leave  any feedback for PSPXavier in the forum release thread.

FindC Background


PSPXavier recently released FindC v1.0. FindC stands for 'Find Coordinates'. According to the good developer, "this is a quick program I (he) made in Lua in the middle of coding another Lua game. I just wanted a break from the more technical stuff and do something easy and quick." It's a good thing that he is spending his free time well!

It is a program written in Lua that gives programmers a better idea of the coordinates on the PSP. PSPXavier tells those who will get this to feel free to change the background picture to a picture included in a program you may be coding. The program can be very helpful to help find the perfect place for your text according to him.

To install, simply dump the FindC folder in the applications folder of Luaplayer. Here are the controls:
  • Direction pad: Moves 1 pixel in the direction of the button.
  • Triangle: Move up faster (10 pixels).
  • Circle: Move right faster (10 pixels).
  • Cross(X): Move down faster (10 pixels).
  • Square: Moce left faster (10 pixels).
  • Start: Exit (if using Luaplayer)
  • The first number is the X coordinate, the second, Y coordinate.
And of course, your constructive criticisms, observations, and suggestions would be well appreciated by PSPXavier. As of now, he says that he has no plans on updating the program, but maybe through your comments he could change his mind and improve the program more.
