Love this program, it's got such a great vibe! The only problem I have right now is I can't seem to navigate to any of the other documents in the /Documents/SpacePad folder. When I hit ctrl + m, the pop-up window only has a new document prompt and nothing else. When I create a new document, I can't return to an old one, even if I can see that it's there in the Windows file explorer. Am I missing something?
this is weird, sorry that this is happening. Control m should get you a file menu where you can see all your documents, not a dialog for a new document. You’re in windows? What keyboard layout are you in? I’ll try to recreate this when I get home later today because this is very odd behavior. If you want to send a video, send one to Theo.is.baker@gmail.com.
I love the concept of Spacepad. Works nicely on Linux on my end.
Regarding the special characters support, is there a way to simply disable them or something instead of having an error message that freezes up the app every time one is used? (I'm French and writing in French so a lot of unsupported characters come up). Or maybe load a custom font? (I have a bunch of retro/pixel art fonts on my system with support for latin characters!)
Not worries if it's out of scope, if so I won't use it, but I'll be sure to recommend it to English speakers!
thanks for you comment. Yes I am planning full international Latin support for an update coming in about ten days with a range of intl terminal fonts.
I thought I had sanitized for exactly this case, but I’ve heard there’s also issues with Romanian keyboard layouts. I might actually just do a patch for this scenario crash in the next couple days before I do the update, Sorry to be so American! Full international support in the works!
in the meantime you can use a English keyboard layout which I have tested throughly and which will block any characters the program can’t handle.
this is an incredible resource; thank you. Check back in a couple of days for a temporary patch that stops the crashing, or about ten days for the international edition. Many thanks for the compliments and the download. Happy writing!
alright, I’ve got a patch with about 90% support of French in AZERTY, using the fonts in program right now. Missing the Ÿ and a couple diacritics but most other things are there. Will post tonight or tomorrow. And then 100% support in version 1.2, June 1st. Ÿves isn’t that common of a name, is it?
Hey Theo4. I just downloaded the app for Linux, made sure that the AppImage was executable with "chmod", and tried running it. All I get is a window with the title "LÖVE 11.5 (Mysterious Mysteries)" and an animation of a yellow balloon with the message "NO GAME" on its string. Pressing Ctrl+M doesn't get me a menu, and Ctrl+N doesn't start a new file.
I'm running this on Linux Mint 21.3 "Virginia" (base: Ubuntu 22.04 "jammy"). Is there something else I'm supposed to have installed?
woah this is a bad build. It ain’t supposed to look like that!!!! I’ll update this first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks for posting this. Yikes!!!! This is just the framework screen. I think its possible I might have just posted the wrong file.
I've taken it down for now. No idea why that happened right now. But I'll get this fixed first thing tomorrow. In the meantime, you could try just running this command: ./SpacePad_v1.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.... it's possible there's a mint compatibility thing I need to look into, and if there is, this should let you use the app in the meantime.
ok, also poking around I think you may need to install Fuse. Because that's needed for AppImages to run. And I think that was removed from ubuntu 22.04. Yeah, I think that might be it. try "sudo apt install libfuse2" and try to run it again. Ahhhhh, Linux! Sorry about this.
Hey Theo, thanks for looking into this. I tried your suggestions --- running the AppImage with the "extract and run" option produces the same result, and I already have libfuse2 installed. So I'll wait on this and check back here tomorrow.
thanks for trying. Yeah there’s something I’m not seeing. I’m gonna make a usb mint 21.3 set up tomorrow morning and figure it out. you could always just download love and run the spacepad.love file that’s in the zip for the rpi If you’re eager to take a look at the app. Until then!
OK, this was a doozy. I uploaded a new a super solid appimage that works in mint 21.3, full instructions in the readme. If you're using a high density retina display, the window might be significantly smaller than designed. Spent all day trouble shooting it. But a full fix for window scaling will have to wait till v1.2. If you're using a 1920x1080, display, should be perfectly fine!

Fixed it!
This software is amazing, omg! I'm in love!
😻 SpacePad loves you back! Happy writing!
Omigod I love this. Dling now.

Thank you very much for your reply! Looking forward to the update!
Regarding fonts, I really like the selection you already have in there. I checked those I have and most of them come from Cool Retro Term: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
I really like the Commodora 64 1982 font! In any case, thank you for your quick reply and for making this cool tool!

Amazing! And tbh Ÿ is a very rare character, not sure I ever saw it actually used. The names Yves doesn't have the accent on the Y!
Ÿ not? ok, it is done. And for the full International SpacePad Station update, June 1st, Im gonna grab that font from the minitel terminal. here's the update: https://spacepad.itch.io/spacepad/devlog/1528559/update-114l-international-spacepad-station-imperial-spacepad
FRENCH is now 100% supported.
also, which pixel fonts with latin characters do you like? I'm making a big list to evaluate them for the international edition dropping soon
