Username Change

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 04:55:05 UTC

Is it possible to request a username change? I emailed hey @lexaloffle.com about changing my username a few months ago and followed up a week ago, but I've gotten no response? Does anyone know another way of getting in contact with Zep?

PicoTerm 1.8

by FlowingLily

[Click to Play]

PicoTerm is a simple PICO-8 CLI template. It can be used as a basis for command-line games and programs.

To get commands, modify execute() with your command handling code. To print a line, use echo().

If you use this in a project please credit DivergentClouds and link back to this page. (I would also appreciate being notified, however, that is not mandatory)

Changelog:
1.8

Fixed bug where cpu usage would skyrocket with enough lines

1.7

Fixed bug where line wrapping wouldn't work if a previous line had been wrapped

1.6

Major line wrapping bug fixed
Fixed pressing ESC sometimes printing a dot

1.5

Fixed bug where the cursor would persist at the start of a line after pressing return

1.4

Added blinking cursor

1.3

Prohibited glyph characters in input to prevent doublewide characters from messing up the screen scrolling

1.2

Made it so that the prompt is mixed in with the log rather than being stuck at the bottom of the screen

1.1

Made it so pressing ESC won't print a character

1.0

Released

Known Issues:

Minor: Backspacing on an empty line moves the cursor backwards for a frame regardless

[Bug] Export broken without gameloop

Sat, 13 Jun 2020 22:09:32 UTC

Trying to export a binary or html file from a file that doesn't have the

_init() _update() _draw()

loop will result in a screen like in the picture. This particular image was from the code

print("test").

[Feature Request] Command Line Launch Paths

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 20:03:08 UTC

Please add a flag when launching a cart from the command line to make the cart path relative to the PICO-8 carts folder rather than the current directory of the command prompt/terminal. In addition, a feature to launch within a certain PICO-8 subdirectory rather than the root folder would be nice.

Multiplying fractional numbers gives incorrect results

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 21:05:24 UTC

If you multiply a fraction that isn't a power a number greater than 1 the returned result will be incorrect (for example PICO-8 returns 9.9991 from print(0.1*100)). I'm aware that this is a problem inherent to fixed point numbers, however some special cases would be greatly appreciated.

Devkit keyboard works when paused

Sun, 24 Mar 2019 05:22:10 UTC

When pressing a button on the keyboard with devkit enabled while paused through Splore the keystrokes will register and take effect when unpaused.

Suggestion: Devkit Keyboard

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:15:34 UTC

Similarly to how you can enable the devkit mouse it would be nice if you could enable the keyboard for use in carts. This would allow for things like text adventures and keyboard shortcuts for things like roguelikes.

Laser Pong

by FlowingLily

[Click to Play]

A 2-player pong variant with lasers

Left and right change laser color

-Red speeds the ball up
-Orange slows the ball down
-Yellow changes the ball's y-direction
-Green changes the ball's x-direction

Catching a laser with your paddle will increase your ammo by 1

If player 1 wants to use a keyboard and player 2 wants to use a controller, then you must launch PICO-8 with the following command

<PICO-8 path> -joystick 1
