I have no idea what to write here
Lander
I wanted to try out physics in PICO-8, so I made this!
A short minigame about landing a spacecraft on a planet.
Use left and right to move sideways, and circle to use your main engine.
There is also a brief tutorial to let you get used to the controls.
I'll release this on itch.io soon!
Changelog
- V1.0 - Initial release
- V1.1 - Made landing transition smoother, score no longer counts on collision

Firstly,
PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS!!!
You may end up with files or folders that you cannot remove.
(I don't wanna be responsible for damages!)
Edit: It turns out there is a way to remove them, see below.
Illegal Names?
Not many people know this, but there are some folder or file names that Windows won't allow you to use. These include 'con', 'aux', 'nul', 'lpt0', and others. Seriously, if you're using Windows right now, make a new folder, and name it "con", it will tell you "The specified device name is invalid". (This is safe to try since the folder never actually gets renamed)
Through curiosity I discovered that PICO-8 completely ignores this rule and allows you to create folders or files with these names using the 'mkdir' and 'save' commands.
What's the problem?
Naming a folder 'con' seemed to have no issues other than refusing to be opened by the 'folder' command, however once I named a folder 'nul', it became impossible to remove. Windows prevents you from renaming or deleting it, so I now have a folder that I can move around, but not remove, rename, or open.

CONTAINS FLASHING IMAGES!!!
Snak
I spent way too much time making this.
It's a clone of snake, and I'm sure you already know the rules.
However, the background reacts in time with the music, and the snake also moves in time with the music.
There are 4 playable "stages", each with a different song and color scheme. After completing all 4, you have the option to restart in endless mode. You reach the next stage after the snake (known as "Snek") consumes 50 food (known as "Snak"). If Snek collides with the wall or their body, they revert to the beginning of the current stage.

My first ever PICO-8 creation, spent about 2 days on it.
Conway's Game of Life, made in PICO-8.
Place/Destroy with O
Pause/Play with X
While paused you can draw your own patterns and watch how they evolve.
