I WANNA BE THE GUY
the movie: the demake
this is still in pretty early in development(it only has up to tyson)
but it's already fun enough to play and speedrun and stuff
i plan on doing the whole game in the future along with a base-cart for people to make their own levels
but i'm full of stuff to do rn so it might take a while
anyway:
expect updates
Empty Base-Cart
Plans moving forward
Simple Etch-a-sketch tweetcart in 233 chars
Z and X -> Up and down
Left and Right -> as self
shaking is on the menu
the cart:
s,j,x,y,r,b= 1,64,64,64,rect,btn menuitem(5,"∧",function()s=1end)::_::if s>0then memset(24576,103,8191)s=0end x+=(b(1)and 1)or(b(0)and-1or 0)y+=(b(5)and 1)or(b(4)and-1or 0)pset(x,y,0)for i=60,j do r(j+i,j-i,j-i,j+i,8)end flip()goto _ |
Random fireflies that procedurally syncs up in 270 Chr, not bad for a first tweetcart i guess?
Ctrl+r to start again
the code:
s,r,c=sin,rnd,pset p={} for i=0,200 do p[i] = {} for j=1,3 do p[i][j] = r(128)-64 end end::_:: cls()for i=0,200 do for j=1,2 do po=p[i] p[i][j]=(po[j]+r(2)-1)%128 end po[3]+=(po[3]>p[flr(r(50))+1][3])and -0.1 or 0.1 c(po[1],po[2],1+s((po[3]/64)*t())%11) end flip()goto _ |
so, i'm planning on doing kind of a demake of rhythm heaven(with new minigames cuz, nintendo y'know?) but i don't think a single pico cart would be able to hold all music/sprites (i've only been able to hold 8 songs w/ pic-o-beat)
i've been looking around and i saw some options but i have no idea on what would work better for me, this is what i found so far:
compression: there's a lot of code about this here on the bbs that i find fascinating, but have zero idea on how it works to make it do the songs intead of the spritesheet
load a cart per stage: have a main menu cart and load each stage in different carts, the loading isn't great but if it's the best way to do it its allright
load only the music and spritesheet: i remember seeing this somewhere but i can't find it anymore, i imagine the loading would be quicker, and i could easily reuse mechanics between minigames but i have no idea on how to do it
a ton of peeking and poking: have a main cart with all the song and sprite data that "set up" the data on a series of "cartdatas" that can be memcpy-ed at runtime. this would allow community submissions with, i imagine, little to no difficulty but would be really awkward for the user
probably some really simple stuff idk about: if you know, please tell me
Quartet for pico-8
A port (demake?) of the gba port of the flash game QUARTET
-A fast paced puzzle game where you assemble faces to score
How to play?
Arrow keys - move the center piece to a window
X/C - menu select
• Assemble faces with 4 pieces
• Full faces are worth more
• If a piece try to move to a occupied space you lose a life
• If the timer runs out you also lose a life
• Try and clear the board for an extra life (5 Max)
