A guy passionate about computers and making games.
I was inspired by this tweet featuring cylindrical parallax:

And decided to recreate the effect in PICO-8. I tried making the code readable, so feel free to remix, improve, or reuse it in your own carts.

Birds With Guns is a passion project made by a bunch of friends over the course of a vacation. If you found it fun and wish to give us a tip, an offline version is available for download for the price of a donut 🍩 on itch.io :)

Interactive map of randomly generated stars I made for fun.
Pan using the mouse, hover over a star to learn more about it. (You can also use arrow keys)
X/O controls zoom, but this is broken and experimental.
Feel free to reuse in your game with credit!

DERAILED!
WORK IN PROGRESS
Derailed! is a 2-player demake of Unrailed!, a co-op game where you build tracks to keep a train on its rails. Communication is vital!
How to play
Chop wood and mine stone, and store those into the storage wagon. Use the crafted rails to extend the train track until the next station! Have fun!
Controls
Arrow keys: move
O/X : action (pick up/place items)
Stuff left to implement:
- More wagons
- Wagon upgrades
- Infinite worls! (Roguelite!)
- Gameplay improvements

LCD Custom font
Recreation of the font used by some LCD screens.
Please credit Yolwoocle if you use it, feel free to use it anywhere, like your Idle MMORPG Metroidvania with LCD screen graphics!
(Jokes aside, I would be very curious to see what a game using this font as graphics would look like -- there's an LCD screen pixel art included in the cart.)
Some characters might not correspond to their usual pico-8 counterparts. This is because the character codes are copied directly from the lcd character sheet.
Copy these lines to use the font in your cart:
My attempt at making my own 3d renderer. The code is not clean and it's quite laggy, but I'm overall satisfied with it, and I learned some new stuff. You can change the object being displayed by editing the source code. I'm not planning on optimizing it for now.
Controls:
Left/Right : rotate Y
Up/Down : rotate X
C/X : rotate Z
Player 2 Up/Down (E/D) : Zoom/Dezoom
Anchors & Miners
Mine deep down into caves using an anchor! Get gemstones and avoid red explosives, and get the best score!
Controls:
[Arrow keys] to move, [X] to play, [Enter] to pause.

Hi,
I am unable to record any GIFs or screenshots. Each time I try to, I get an error that says "Failed to save Screenshot/GIF", because the path to my desktop is something like "C:\Users\Léo\Desktop\".
The "é" is what's causing the issue. Since this is my session username, I cannot modify it, and thus I can't record any GIFs or take any screenshots, and I can't modify the screenshots folder as something outside my session either.
Screenshotting works perfectly on my other laptop, and changing the folder name to something like "éà" will make it impossible to take any captures.
I am on Windows 10.
