I made a copy of dog.png/json files and added those by hand to the project.json. Now I got after “build”:
TypeError: session.getValue is not a function
Is there any more detailed log somewhere?
The beta only supports projects within its projects folder. It was one of the things I wanted to address before releasing it here, but other priorities showed up.
The fix for this bug was already done and will be available in the next release. I’m testing things more thoroughly in this one.
You shouldn’t have to add files by hand to the project.json. 
How do I add a png-file to the project (I do not have aseprite)?
Just drop it into the folder.

FemtoIDE:
when I use copy-paste if often pastes two times if I use the keyboard (Ctrl-v). If I do it from the menu it works correctly.
I use Windows 10.

That’s this issue over here:
It’s taking me a while, but there were other features underway when I found that bug and I’d like it all to be more stable for 16b.

Needed 3 of them to top the previous splash screen.

It is actually amazing, how fast Pokitto starts the game after a power-on when there are no startup screens. Literally a fraction of a second. Wow!

How to print to the console output?
System.out.print("Tracing...");
did not work.
Are you expecting that to print to the Pokitto screen or the IDE’s debugging console?
If you’re trying to print to the screen, it should be something like:
HiRes16Color screen = new HiRes16Color(Pico8.palette(), Tiny.font());
screen.print("Tracing...");
(With your chosen palette and font.)

To print to the console it’s:
System.out.println("Tracing...");
The ln is important, even in regular Java.
Characters are buffered and new-lines (either by using ln or having \n in the string) trigger the flush.

I just wrote a wiki entry on the femto.Game and femto.State classes, what they do, how to use them, and why it’s a good idea to do so.
It’s possible to make games without them, but then players won’t be able to call the loader.
It’s like using the PokittoLib without calling begin().
Flashing the Pokitto manually is annoying. Think of the children.

For development it’s probably the easier option.
The only problem I ever have with it is that sometimes the back button doesn’t register.
(It seems easier on some units than others.)
I meant for the player.
For developers, yes, the back button is the more practical way of flashing. That’s why Java automatically triggers a reset when you press the flash button, no need to press the two buttons at once.
I usually use the on/off switch rather than the reset button, but that does sound fairly useful.
Perhaps that functionality could be added to the PokittoLib?
How many entries are currently being worked on?
Currently I’m only aware of 2-3.
I’m also working on one.

There looks to be 6 persons joined to the game jam, but the real count can of course be less.
I really think we should promote the jam more now that there is one month left. We have not announced the criteria or the prizes for the jam yet.
