UPDATE: 10-22-18
Sources of images entered.

NOTE: All images are either converted to PICO-8's own palette automatically or are manually converted.


HELLO !


I thought I would create a thread for people who need sprite assistance from other artists. The only recommendation is that it uses the PICO-8 palette and by default is 8x8 pixels in size.


.
I'll start off. I currently have a crossbow image I drew for the game I am working on:

[16x16]

But I really want to have a blunderbuss instead. As you can see it is not your basic gun and has a wide opening at the front.

Can you help me ? Can you draw this effectively in an 8x8 pixel format ?

Also, I'm a bit of an artist myself and either draw the image from scratch or color sprites from old games I have:

So if =YOU= need some help with some of your sprites, I may be able to draw it or I've drawn it in one of my image libraries already.

Here is a rough list of one of my image archives directories, that which contains many games I have not yet written but have drawn the images for it - designed specifically 8x8 pixel work in GFA-Basic (which I no longer use nor does it run in Windows 8).

Here is a nice digital font for good science-fiction games. The characters are 6x6 pixels so you can get a good outline around them.

Here's another one. This is an attempt at Times New Roman. I wanted to use it for where text was important, like for text adventures and stuff. Not sure if it came out quite well enough.

Also includes 2-arrows useful for navigation.

Placing them in PICO, use as you like. :)

This is nice to have, one of the great sprites from my collection from an older RPG. Can you place it ? Converted for use in PICO.

You may want to recolor them. Each are 16x16 pixels so you can fit 8x8 of these individual sprites on the screen.

It is ! You've got a good eye ! I'll be posting a few more today. There already is a great Super Mario clone out that uses the original graphics of the classic NES special.

Would be nice to have someone (I can do it) post the sprites to older games for use in non-commercial Pico projects.

P#56505 2018-09-10 19:03 ( Edited 2018-10-22 15:37)

couldnt you save sprite space by mirroring about half of those?

P#56507 2018-09-10 19:36 ( Edited 2018-09-10 23:36)

You could indeed !

Outside of the Blue player above, these are encoded as only 3-different images, as you mentioned. I figured anyone who wants to use them can delete their mirror counterparts if they so choose.

I'm encoding them as eight in here though so they are ready to go for anyone.

For if instead someone want to use all 8 and have easier coding without dealing with mirroring, or perhaps they are confused by writing code that handles mirroring, then they are more than welcome to use the whole unedited table.

Thought I'd try a hand at that blunderbuss you were asking for earlier. One for icons and one for gameplay.

Since you're sharing some fun useful pico images, I also threw in some generally useful stuff I made a while ago -

  • a 4-frame "Coin Collect" animation
  • a 4-frame "Explosion" animation
  • Shovel-Knight sprites (2-frame Run animation, 2-frame Shovel animation)

How nice, DevRaccoon. Thank you ! That's just what I'm looking for.

I'm working on a paint program for everyone right now, but after that, I can definitely make use of that wonderful blunderbuss you drew for my monster hunt game !

P#56708 2018-09-15 19:47 ( Edited 2018-09-15 23:47)

This is not today's sprite selection, I just thought I would take a crack at manually rotating the key single plane sprite myself - maybe it's better ? I'm not sure.

Hey, can anyone help me here ? I'm trying to write a fairly intuitive key input routine that can recognize multiple keystrokes in addition to keys being held down and registering their values based on the time held.

P#57464 2018-10-03 09:37 ( Edited 2018-10-03 13:37)

Sure, shouldn't be that difficult, Hendini. Let's see ...

cls()
t=0
repeat
  t=stat(85)
  repeat
    flip()
  until t!=stat(85)
  print(t)
until forever

Basically every time that STAT(85) changes, you have counted 1-second.

Hi Hendini. Sorry I couldn't get around to this sooner. Was in the hospital - heart trouble.

Anyways, let's see ...

That's actually pretty straight forward. If you want to have it with _UPDATE(), that would be THIS code:

function _init()
cls()
t=stat(85)
end

function _draw()
  if stat(85)!=t then
    print(t)
    t=stat(85)
  end
end

function _update()
end

Hope This Helps !
