Hello people!

I have started playing with pico8 for the first time now, and I have been enjoying it very much.

The idea for this game is that you are a rocket flying through space, collecting pizzas.
You will need to avoid obstacles, or shoot them with your collected pizzas.
You can see what I've done so far up there in the cartridge ;)

I am now stuck. I have figured out how to have collision detection with the floating pizzas, but I can't figure out how to "destroy" them, aka picking them up and then adding to the score. Also I want some kind of mechanism that randomly spawns these pizzas, which then float to the left. Similar to this I want to be able to shoot pizzas from my rocket, aka bullets.

If anyone can help, that would be amazing!
Thank you!

Edit: Update v0.9
