In the past there have been issues with using a Bitsy 3D template with Borksy: Bitsy 3D is significantly bigger in size than Bitsy. A better workflow for Bitsy 3D is Bitsy Saviour
I'm not sure. AFAIK, there might not be any benefit to using the two together: I think Bitsy Savior can do most things Borksy can, although setting it up may be a little more involved.
I don't really get how to use the dialogue choices hack. When I tested it out on a simpler case the javascript text said that it couldn't read "choice" as anything. Also, just the way it's used is kind of confusing. Please give me some help to understand how to use the dialogue choices hack
I believe that at this moment, there are issues with the dialogue-choices hack because of conflicts with the bitsy editor itself. It can still be used, but it takes more effort than most other hacks. Unfortunately, I’m not really able to give detailed assistance with hacks in these comments. I recommend asking in the Bitsy discord: it’s generally active with people who can help.
I don’t think a tutorial for the Gravity hack exists yet. If you join the Bitsy Discord, there are probably some folks in the #bitsy-tools-and-help channel who have used it and can give advice.
The Text-To-Speech hack is very similar to this, but uses browser-built-in TTS software. As for specifically SAM, a hack would have to be written to attach it to the Bitsy dialogue system, but it’s theoretically possible. Creating hacks requires knowledge of JavaScript, but if you want more guidance on how to start looking into that, I suggest you join the Bitsy discord.
Please consider adding this hack to make bitsy games playable on the web browser of the nintendo 3DS: github link here. I'm afraid it will be lost to the sands of time otherwise.
You can at least work around it, by using the option for either a specific item/sprite or a list of item/sprites to render transparent - or, all item/sprites with the word transparent in the name - and then simply leave out the names of all your sprites.
Borksy makes all items/sprites transparent by default. You can change this in the hack options. If editing the hack options is unfamiliar to you, or you need more help creating the exact solution you need, someone in the Bitsy discord help channel can probably walk you through it.
Sorry you're having this issue; I'm yet not sure how I can solve it on my end. I'm going to keep looking into it. I did google and find a few things you can try, hopefully one of those will work for you!
This has succeeded where I failed (when following other tutorials to the letter) in adding music to different rooms. Now I'm going to go and add some tunes to my Bitsy game! Cheers!
I don't know if I've ever said it since I started making Bitsy games, but this tool has been instrumental in the Bitsy games I've made! Thanks for making this, I greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks so much, TyeDye! I didn’t realize when I made this tool how helpful it would be to so many people. I love seeing about all the games folx have made using it.
Hello. I'm trying to use borksy because I wanted to use the directional hack for my sprite. But apparently it's not working, I've known the bitsy recently so I don't know much about the tool yet but I followed the use tutorials as explained and the hack still didn't work.
Yes, sorry. You weren't doing anything wrong. Borksy was out of date with Bitsy. It should be working now, but if you need more immediate help in the future, I recommend joining the Bitsy discord and asking for help there.

This is really nice, thank you.
can you use it alongside bitsy savior?
I'm not sure. AFAIK, there might not be any benefit to using the two together: I think Bitsy Savior can do most things Borksy can, although setting it up may be a little more involved.
Is it possible to use this tool alongside bitsy 3d?
Not really. (It might be technically possible but would not be a good/easy experience.) You would want to use Bitsy Savior instead.

i am in need of a gravity tutorial. does anyone know one? or want to post one?
I don’t think a tutorial for the Gravity hack exists yet. If you join the Bitsy Discord, there are probably some folks in the #bitsy-tools-and-help channel who have used it and can give advice.

I have a question about the transparency hack.
Is there a way to make the sprite only have no transparency?
You can at least work around it, by using the option for either a specific item/sprite or a list of item/sprites to render transparent - or, all item/sprites with the word transparent in the name - and then simply leave out the names of all your sprites.

it just gives me the network error message even if i try to download the test project in incognito

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.
Used it a lot for my game, which wouldn't have been possible without it.
Gonna try this out later

Looking forward to trying this out. 😊 Thanks for creating it.
