ULTIMATE CAKE FACTORY

Cake Factory (1.0)

[Click to Play]

Please read all of this. It'll only take a minute and it'll teach you how to use this cart.

The ultimate cake factory!

Build your own production line! You can use conveyor belts, springs, antigravity zones, and more!

How to get started:

open the cart file in your pico-8 editor. (Sadly, an in-game editor has not yet been implemented in this version). Go to the map editor! To summon cakes, place a green dispenser. To move the cakes, use various tools to build a path, such as conveyor belts, springs, and antigravity zones. Once a cake finishes its journey, the only way to delete it is to drop it out of the world.

THINGS TO NOTE:

-To turn off the 3D map, change MAP_3D in the _INIT() function to FALSE.
-To increase or decrease the maximum amount of cakes, edit the number near the end of the _UPDATE() function.
-The lighter metal blocks are solid but have no unique gimmick, while the darker ones are just background and serve for aesthetics.
-Each animated map tile has 2 sprites. While it ultimately does not matter, try to use the leftmost one.
-Left and right conveyor belts work from both the top and bottom. The spring only works from the top.
-Use the arrow keys to control the camera.

I WILL consider requests for the second update, but here are some things I'm planning already:
-Conveyor belts that can flip from left to right if a switch is activated
-In-game editor

Hope you have a great time!

Can someone explain the parameters for tline?

Sat, 17 Aug 2024 14:12:31 UTC

Currently I'm trying to learn tline() by simply drawing the map. However, I have no idea how the parameters work. Apparently, according to the pico 8 wiki, tline()'s 5th and 6th parameters are expressed in "fractional map tiles" but I don't get what that means...
Can someone give a brief explanation?

What do you guys think? Would this make a good platformer or is it too tedious?

Corrupted Map Tiles

I'm working on a farming simulator game. In the _init() function it should randomly generate the pattern on the grass tile and then randomly place the grass tile on the map (replacing any empty tiles.) However, a strange bug is occurring where some map tiles are corrupt. Can somebody explain what's going on? Use arrow keys to move around.

I drew some milshakes cuz bored

A Platformer About Buoyancy (1.1 demo)

This is a proof of concept! It's a platformer where you use buoyancy to gain altitude. The deeper you dive, the more altitude you gain when popping out of the water! Kinda like a floatie in the pool.

Use left and right to move. Press X to dive deeper (when submerged) and O to move upwards (also while submerged). On land, press O to jump. Try to collect all the gems.

The idea: a platformer where you use buoyancy to gain altitude.
Controls: Left and right to move. Up lets you swim upwards (while submerged) and down lets you swim downwards (while submerged.)

Play around with the water physics!

PS if you can help me code map collision (which I suck at) it would be greatly appreciated!

Teaching lil bro how to use pico 8 and this is the second game he helped make

need help please help

function _init()
 poke(0x5f2d,1)
 mx,my=stat(32),stat(33)
 cursor_x,cursor_y=64,64
 nodes={}
 constant={n="constant",x=0,y=0,c=8}
 counter={n="counter",x=0,y=0,c=3}
 cam_x,cam_y=-60,-63

end

function _update60()

 if (btnp(🅾️)) new(constant)

 if (btn(⬆️)) cam_y-=1
 if (btn(⬇️)) cam_y+=1
 if (btn(➡️)) cam_x+=1
 if (btn(⬅️)) cam_x-=1

end

function new(n)
 add(nodes,n)
 n.x=cursor_x+cam_x
 n.y=cursor_y+cam_y
end

function _draw()
    chosen = nil
    cls(0)

    for i, node in ipairs(nodes) do
        print(node.n .. " " .. node.x .. " " .. node.y, 0, i * 6, node.c)
        rect(node.x - cam_x, node.y - cam_y, node.x + 8 - cam_x, node.y + 4 - cam_y, node.c)

        if stat(34) ~= 0 and 
           cursor_x >= node.x - cam_x and 
           cursor_x <= node.x + 8 - cam_x and 
           cursor_y >= node.y - cam_y and 
           cursor_y <= node.y + 4 - cam_y then
            chosen = node
        end
    end

    if stat(32) ~= mx or stat(33) ~= my then
        cursor_x = stat(32)
        cursor_y = stat(33)
    end

    if chosen ~= nil then
        print(chosen.x, 0, 0, 12)
        chosen.x = cursor_x + cam_x - 4
        chosen.y = cursor_y + cam_y - 2
    end

    pset(cursor_x + 1, cursor_y, 6)
    pset(cursor_x, cursor_y + 1, 6)
    pset(cursor_x - 1, cursor_y, 6)
    pset(cursor_x, cursor_y - 1, 6)
end

The goal: when you create a new node object, it should be at the cursor's position. You can drag them around. Press the circle button to create a new node. Use the arrow keys to move the camera. Use the mouse to drag nodes.

The problem: whenever a node is created or clicked, every single existing node's position moves to the mouse.

I'm sure it's some small detail I'm missing but I just can't find it. I would be very thankful for your help
