Rhythm 5-6-oh (TweetTweetJam)

Wed, 06 May 2020 05:01:07 UTC

A game made in 560 characters for TweetTweetJam 4. The sound effects are generated from the poke commands at the top. The note pattern is random and can be a little unfair at times. I wanted to try a smarter way to generate the notes, but with 560 characters, there's not much room.

Z or C - Top line
X or V - Bottom line

Load breadcrumb bug on forum carts

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 01:08:36 UTC

After trying to debug why my recent game doesn't work on the forms (but works fine in Splore and when exported), I've discovered if you don't include a breadcrumb string parameter in the load function, the cart will never actually load, and will just hang instead.

I'm assuming this isn't intended, since it's marked as an optional parameter, and it behaves fine inside Pico8 itself (or an exported cart).

As a quick example:

load("#cartid")                  -- won't work on forums (but will everywhere else)
load("#cartid", "back to title") -- will work

Also, as a side note, this may or may not be intended, but it seems the "fantasy glitching" when reloading (ctrl+r) effects the general use / work ram. Meaning if you rely on it to pass data to and from carts (like in Picoware), a player doing so may break the game.

Point, click, and scamper like a mouse,
for riches untold in a strange house.
As a thief you only have one goal,
The diamond is the ticket to your payroll.

Now Fixed On The Forums!

I've discovered the bug that was causing issues going between rooms, I've reported it here

I've also uploaded a web exported version to itch, if you'd prefer that version.

z - Jump

Down Arrow - Use
Left/Right Arrows - Walk left and right

Info

The project started as an experiment for learning Lua (and Pico8 to some extent). I had fun, so, I decided to finish and release it. I hope you like it!

Sorry for the lack of snake casing in the code. I usually use camel casing, but Pico8's editor doesn't support upper case letters :/

Update 1.1:

X now restarts the puzzle.
Down arrow is now the use key.
Hint added on the second puzzle that shows how to restart a level.

Version 1.0:
