see below for changes
I got my hands finally on Pico-8 a few weeks back and after doing a couple of examples, I set about making my own game to help learn some more about coding in Pico-8. So here it is, my firs very shoddy attempt a a game in Pico-8.
It is a rather simplistic game, you just have to survive as long as you can. The code in there could be much better but it was all a learning curve and I am more impressed that I got all of this built within a week and a half of just coding away at night time after finishing work.
Instructions on the opening screen allow you only at that point to change the controls of the tank.
V1.1 (04-07-20) Took advice and made changes to how SFX and music are played, also added a few extra effects once your score goes above 70 and also made a change to the difficulty to make it slightly easier later on.
