Hi. I don't know what to put here.
Dev at Pixel Shock.
Icon: A cat in a box. His name is CB.
There seems to be an odd interaction between shorthand if, an end from another loop and shorthand print. (whether the if is true or not doesn't seem to matter)
When arranged like this:
for do if(true)end ?"⁶1⁶c" |
or without the if statement:
for do end?"⁶1⁶c" |
it works fine.
But, putting the if statement, the for's end, then the shorthand print on the same line makes PICO-8 put the print statement INSIDE the for loop, so this:
for k,i in pairs(n) do if(true)end?"⁶1⁶c" |
is translated into something like this by the interpreter:
for k,i in pairs(n) do
if true then
end --(for's end, becomes if's end at runtime)
print("⁶1⁶c")
end --(if's end, becomes for's end at runtime) |
...with the p8scii flip()cls() being run on each loop!
What I think is happening here is the if is taking the [ end?"⁶1⁶c" ] after it as part of its block, and putting its own "end" after it, where PICO-8 sees the for's end as the if's, and the newly added end as the for's.

A tiny demake of Terraria in PICO-8!
Controls:
Features:
- A large map of 252x130 tiles, stored using the extended memory
- 3 biomes (Forest, Jungle, Corruption)
- 3 bosses (King Slime, Eye of Cthulhu, and a secret one that you'll have to find yourself (Summon it at night). They won't spawn naturally, summon them using their summon items)
- Various enemies for each biome and underground (12 total)
- Cave generation
- Mining and crafting
- Melee and Ranged attacks
- Ranged weapons automatically aim towards nearest target, prioritising bosses
- A basic palette fade lighting system, with a day-night cycle
- A few progression/recipe changes due to space limitations
- Life Crystals and Shadow Orbs to smash!
Differences from the original Terraria
Planned Changes/Additions
- Due to this change in 0.2.3b (link), I may be able to save tokens by removing my BIGMAP() function. Only about 230, but it's certainly something.
- Might be able to include TLINE() lighting instead, because the last change will allow me to use the standard MAP() function. (Performance may suffer though)
Known issues:
- Walls are technically solid blocks as there is only one tile layer, so nothing can be placed in front of them.
- Sometimes underground, the draw rate will drop to 30fps, and less often even actually slow the game loop down. Not sure what's causing it yet, but it seems to be in the update loop.
Changelog
Credits:
- Using tline sprite rotation from TheRoboZ and distance function from Freds72
- Terra now has music by @jo560hs as of version 1.2.2

After copying some music from another cartridge, the enabled channel buttons broke. The editor displayed them as off while everything else thought they were on, resulting in the "off" channels playing their default 1/2/3/4 sound effects.
Clicking them in the editor turned them off everywhere and put them back to normal.

Find the exit to move to the next floor. The dungeons will get larger as you complete floors. Walk into an enemy to attack it. They can also attack you if you go into the space they are moving into. Pots can be broken by walking into them. They can have gold, sneks, bombs, spike traps, or a life up in them.
After each floor a shop will open where you can buy items:
- Life Ups will heal you.
- Damage Ups make your attacks stronger.
- Escape Ropes return you to the entrance of the floor you are on if you die. You can only carry one at a time.
- Gems modify the generation of the next floors.
Open the inventory screen with X or M. It shows:
- The map
- Which floor you are on
- How much gold you have
- The escape rope in the bottom left corner, if you have one
