Where's the micro2d tutorial?

i had the idea of making a game engine inside this game engine, and i thought i would micro2d because its not your simple, basic graphics api. so I started up the editor and realized: i dont know squat about this thing. so i went to the documentation page, and LO AND BEHOLD, there was no documentation on how to use it, just how to start it up. i looked to copilot and it wouldnt even get the simple microscript language right. eventually, i just gave up and went back to the default api.

if anyone knows how to use this, can you please help?

I think you missed it because I found it in the documentation in microStudio here: https://microstudio.dev/documentation/M2D/

If this is one you are not looking for then I can teach you a bit of micro2d its very useful!

bro i know but heres my point

inhales

sprites dont draw
you cant specify a position anyway
m2dtest wont even render anything, it just uses what the doc tells you
how are you supposed to make a game with this its harder than Atari 2600 assembly
ai cant even help because it cant find a helpful doc for this

so explain why i should look at that if it wont even help

Unfortunately, that's how it is. Micro2D is considered experimental, as far as I understand. I've also looked at other projects related to it, and they're no longer functional. So nobody uses it anymore, and it's better to opt for PIXI, which explicitly states in its documentation that Micro2D is based on it

Therefore, it's best to look for information about PIXI, since it actually has its own documentation

Sure PIXI.js has a bigger doc (plus a way to render a frame), but you still can't draw sprites there either, so I guess that's experimental too
the way i see it, im better off just sticking to the default api
