How to Play

Objectives

Your mission is to fly into enemy space and destroy the aliens that pose a threat to all life on Earth!

You must wipe out all enemies to clear a wave.
Clear all 9 waves + the final boss to win!

Lives

You start with 3 lives (indicated in the bottom left).
Getting hit by an enemy or enemy bullet costs 1 life.
When you run out of lives, Game Over! You will have to start from the beginning.

Missiles

You start with 1 missile, but you can hold up to 3 (indicated in the top right).
Pressing X fires a missile. Missiles explode damaging all enemies caught in the blast.

Power

You start with 0 power with a max of 9 (indicated in the top left).
Collecting a Power Pip increases your power by 1. Getting hit costs 3 power.
Enemies will sometimes drop a Power Pip when destroyed.
Destroying an enemy while it is attacking increases the odds of a drop.
When you have full power, you will automatically enter Power Mode, tripling the shots from your main guns.
After 6 seconds, you will exit Power Mode. Time spent in hyperspace (between waves) doesn't count.
Collecting Power Pips while in Power Mode extends the timer. Getting hit reduces it.

Bonuses

Every 10,000 points a bonus missile will appear.
Damaging a bonus missile enough turns it into a bonus heart (1-up)!
Be careful! Damaging a bonus heart too much destroys it!
Collecting a bonus missile while you have 3 missiles or a bonus heart while you have 3 lives awards 1,000 points.

Scoring

Destroying more powerful enemies awards more points (indicated in the top middle).
Destroying an enemy while it is attacking increases your chain (indicated below score).
Continuing to destroy enemies during their attack awards bravery points based on your chain.
Watch out! If you destroy an enemy during its attack, another enemy will immediately attack in retaliation!
If an enemy completes an attack run, you will lose your chain.

If your score is high enough, you will be able to enter your name in the highscore table!
Use Up/Down to change the letter, use Right/O to move to the next letter, use Left/X to move to the previous letter.

I ripped off the Google Snake game to see if I could. Don't worry, I have bigger plans for this.

GrandMaster Checkers

This is my crack at a checkers game with a juicy UI.
Can you beat the GrandMaster CPU?
Higher levels are still a little slow, especially in the endgame.
Enjoy!

Casino Blackjack!
I made this to get an idea of how to make an attractive card game in Pico-8. UI needs a lot of work, but the game is there. Might be a few edge cases that break it.

Controls:
Left/Right to change action
X to select action

Hand Signals:
Hit...........Tap cards
Stand.........Wave hand
Double Down...Point w/one finger
Split.........Point w/two fingers

Features:

4 standard actions: Hit, Stand, Double Down, and Split
Actions notated by standard hand signals
Randomly generated card backs
Slick card physics
$1000 starting cash, on the house
Only a single deck to allow you to practice counting cards!

Upcoming Features:

Face card portraits
Set your own bet amounts
Clearer UI
Dealer settings (# of decks, hits on soft 17, etc.)
Tutorial?

Known Bugs:

Face down card appears in player's hand sometimes. Doesn't affect gameplay.
Game freezes if both the dealer and the player are dealt a natural blackjack.

Enjoy!

Monty Hall Simulation

monty_hall

by MisterWizard01

[Click to Play]

A simulation of the famous Monty Hall Problem inspired by the game show "The Price is Right."

The game goes like this:
0) 3 doors, 1 has a pile of gold coins behind it
1) You pick 1 of the 3 doors
2) Monty Hall, the show's host, opens 1 of the 2 remaining doors, revealing that it is empty
3) You are offered the chance to switch to the remaining closed door
4) All 3 doors are opened and you receive what's behind the door you ended on

The Problem:
What is the probability of winning if you switch?
What is the probability of winning if you stay?
Is it always better to switch or stay? A little of both?
Does it matter whether you switch or stay?

This cart allows you to run many trials while tracking the wins and losses to determine what the true probability is.
This is an example of a Monte Carlo simulation; experiments are repeated quickly over a long enough period to find the true probability of an event occurring. Obviously, Monte Carlo sims can give some pretty inaccurate results at first, but they get better over time based on the Law of Large Numbers.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for playing!
