Hello.

Now that I've learned where the files are located, I've started to put together a little engine for myself that can create a nice list of Pico-8 games.

Here is what I've done so far:

sorry, had to shift some things around.

Hover over the cart to get a brief description and list the author.

Unlike embedding once you click the game it goes straight to the post in Lexaloffle where the game was released so not only can you play the game but read the author's comments, comments and questions from others, if you're logged in get a chance to add your own comments.

Special thanks to kittenm4ster and BoneVolt for their excellent programming and carts in the current list.

If it all looks okay, feel free to reply and post your game information and I'll add it to the list.

All I need is the URL address of where your game is (in Lexaloffle), it will look like this:
http: // www . lexaloffle.com / bbs / ?tid=00000

That and a brief game description of your game if it's not already included on the page, and that'll do it ! I can code the rest and feed it into my database.

If you're curious (not now but later) the list will be sorted by highest number of stars and go on down from there.

Or would you prefer they appear in the list on a first-come first-serve basis as they are now ?

Here is my table so far:

41

If I can remember I'll try to inject the list in every evening so you should always have an update and new cart every morning when you go to the game page.

Going to add the ability to sort the list by stars. I'll even post the code that is doing all of this once done. That's right, a Pico-8 program builds the HTML website !

Ah ! Getting there. I completed the program to convert the text to HTM. Once I get a nice polish out of it, I'll post the source which as you can see also sorts the carts by stars. Highest number appear first, then from there.

Here is the current Game List, and YES, you can add special characters to appear in your HTM from PICO. Hover over the boxes to see stars, description, and author.

Do you just live on pico-8? It's all I have to play on my school chromebook but everywhere I go you have already been lol.

Sorry ... I'm retired, disabled, and type pretty close to 135wpm at 100% accuracy (with a hot cup of coffee). Usually when I get my mind to something I stick with it.

I started writing and selling video games to Call A.P.P.L.E. when I was 10-years old.

And really you can find me all over the internet, not just Pico-8. Just search for my 5-character alias with any search engine.

Busy guy. :)

Ha I can find you most anywhere, I once searched for an old arcade game and found in the comments a user called a2pha linking to your page. Also Could I use your 16x16 font? Can't find any other.
