Code Injects (Pico-8)

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 18:31:59 UTC

Pico-8 Injects

If you dont know what an "inject" is, ill explain it here.

An inject is a script or program that you append (add) to the end of another program to serve a function. good examples of an inject are code snippets you add to the end of a cartridge to alter things in real time or gain extra functions. RTCP is a great example of a code inject (code below). you simply just add the inject in a new code tab, and it automatically does its set function(s) without having to modify the source code.

Here are a few injects i have created

Desktop cat 1.0

This is a desktop wallpaper that lets you watch a cat run around and play! It uses up barely any cpu at all (~0.0113 as of 0.8), so dont worry about it eating up too much cpu.

Features:
Watch a cat run around and play on your desktop! It can roam around, sit or sleep, chase the mouse, or even chase a toy around!

On boot, it spawns a random amount of toys (and cats!), but the chance for a lot to spawn is pretty low.

Sometimes the cats do try and break things, so dont be discouraged if you come back to find all of the toys are missing.

To install this animated wallpaper, put the file in /picotron/drive/appdata/system/wallpapers/. then just select it from settings.

bug: roundelie can kill the player if it is against the left screen edge and the player tries to push it further. if roundelie is on that edge, try not to push it any more or else you will die.
Bugfix in progress but its complicated due to the nature of the bug.

Roundelie Rescue (READ BELOW)

Welcome to Adelie Rescue Team, or ART for short. Here at ART we make it our mission to save as many penguins in need as we can. That is why you're here! There have been reports of ice caps melting around the arctic, more specifically ones home to the rare Adelie penguin variant, "Roundelie" (scientific name "Pygoscelis adeliae Sphericallus"). Roundelie penguins are known for their mobility, or lack thereof. They cant move on their own anymore due to the climate changes in their natural habitat, and we worry they might go extinct. Thats why we called YOU here! Weve sent you to their home to rescue as many as you can. there sadly should only be four or five of them left here, but thats still more then none! good luck out there adventurer! May meep be on your side!

Controls+How to

Roundelie are heavy! dont let one squish you!
You may push roundelie around without hurting it.
Dash into its side to launch it a bit! dont worry about hurting it, roundelie are very strong.
Line yourself up with one and walk away from it to drag it behind you.
Dash away from it while dragging to throw it overhead.
Roundelie arent affected by any spikes you may see, but dont let them fall off the level.

Risk of rain demake in the celeste classic engine

This is a in-progress mod i am currently working on. Here are some gifs of items working, mechanics.

Ukulele + Wisp in a jar + Gasoline (WIP Visual effects)

Molotov Cocktail Utility

Health System

Killing enemies

I dont know how long this mod will take, but armed with aseprite and everhorn, im sure it wont take that long.

For anyone wondering where CORE went, Its fully moved over to n.p8, and was fully rewritten for the new codebase.
The switch from hex to base256 level loading and the addition of bg tiles has forced me to abandon my levels, but i was going to do that anyways.

Look forward to both Risk Of Snow and CORE, coming (hopefully) soon.

In this mod, madeline has had one too many drinks and is having trouble... living. "play" this "celeste" "classic" "mod" and "try" to make it to the "top" of the "mountain" as you "progress" through "levels" and the "game" until you "win"!!

This mod is 100% playable,

Thats it.

Good luck if you try playing this, as i couldn't get past 500m in testing. may the hangover gods be in your favor.

this cart can detect if you are on bbs/SPLORE or on pico-8 editors.

Basically, it detects if you've loaded the cart from online, or have it locally saved. the only way to load from online is from bbs/splore, so its easy to assume its one of the two.

How this works:

Pico-8 carts can use ls() to get a list of files in the current directory. online-loaded carts have no access to the filesystem and bbs has no filesystem, so in those cases ls is returned as NIL. when the cart is saved, only possible on a pico-8 editor, ls() returns as " " or whatever files you have in your carts dir. this cart detects what platform you are on by checking if ls() is equal to nil or not nil, then doing something accordingly.

feel free to use this concept whenever you like!

unlike boingleste, this one is creative!

Remember the floor is lava? no, not the tv show, im talking about the playground game. you know, where if you touch the ground you get maimed by your best friend? what? thats not normal? what are you talking about? anyways, this mod fully simulates what its feels like to touch the ground while playing that game. unless you're weird and didnt die inside when you lost at a game at school. well, forget dying inside! if you touch the ground here, you die in r- wait wrong game- you die! yay! walljump around and dont touch the ground! featuring patented seizure-o-matic effects! who needs to see the game when you have S M O K E

------------------------------------------------

Important:

If you are prone to seizures, then DO NOT PLAY THIS CART BEFORE DOING THIS! before starting the game, make sure to toggle off special effects in the pause menu. just pres enter or p and select "disable effects". if you want them back, one, be careful and talk to your doctor. i was joking about the "die in real life" part, but this is serious. i know no one does it, but dont enable special effects unless your doctor makes sure it wont kill you.

------------------------------------------------

Thanks for playing! I hope this mod burns in your heart the same way it burned into my monitor.

Here is my best time while playtesting as usual (all berries too!)

Real Time Corrupter Portable (RTC-P) Now with Single-Script Version!

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 16:13:39 UTC

Real Time Corrupter Portable

by AntiBrain

[Click to Play]

NEW ONESCRIPT DUMMY-PROOF VERSION (READ BELOW)

Remember RealTimeCelester and maybe RealTimeProggrupter?
They were RTC programs for celeste classic. what that means is they corrupt the games memory over time!
Now, have you ever wished you could ruin ANY cart? not just celeste? well i have the thing for you!

Introducing RTC-P! The first portable RTC for Pico-8! Simple copy the below code, following the instructions, and bam! ruin any cart with ease!

Important: Do NOT run the cart above, as it will do nothing. that is just the corrupter, but it has no cart to corrupt. to use, copy the code below and add it in a new code tab, or somewhere clutter-free. then add rtc() at the 1ST LINE in your update cycle. to change corrupt time or corrupt level, just go into the pause menu, go to the setting you want to change and press left or right. nxt cprt in: is how many frames until next corruption.

REMEMBER: to use you must be able to EDIT your cart! to do this, just load it in desktop pico-8 or at https://pico-8-edu.com
To load your cart, find it in splore, exit splore and press esc. for edu users, find your cart on the bbs and either download it and load it, or copy its cart id at the bottom of the runnable cartridge on its page. (something like #rtcp or #18471)

RTC-P Manual (For non-game loop using carts)

Now, what if this is all too complicated? what if you just want to throw in a script and just have it work? well good news, ive concocted a easy to use RTC script that doesnt need anything! just put it in a new code tab or below all game loops (_init, _update, _draw) to use! the program will do the rest of the work.

rtcp_auto

[Click to Play]

Click code on cart above, or copy code below.

HOW TO USE:
Copy code, then go to a Pico-8 Editor- this can be on desktop pico-8 or at pico-8 edu, which you can access here. then just load your cartridge you'd like to corrupt by typing load followed by its cart id. Cart id's can be found below the cart on BBS.

for example, to load manual rtcp, you would type load #rtcp. the "-0" isnt necessary. that's just the version number and pico-8 automatically grabs the latest version.

Boingleste 1.3

[Click to Play]

Thanks to the evercore team for the evercore cart! this wouldn't be possible without your hard work!

Boingleste

A big goofy, a little silly, but still fun!

Is Madeline made of rubber or is the mountain made of rubber? I personally don't think a whole mountain can just change what it's made of, so we'll go with the 1st option.

Play as- Wait no- Try to play as Boingaline as you fall over and over into the same hole in 500m. Features an almost-state-of-the-art path tracing mechanic that shows you where you keep dying and will die again! dash into walls and remember the 4 things you "had to do" and go do that instead! so many ways to rage quit and so many holes to walk into.

Also features its own REM jank! remember spike clips? well get ready for "Wall clips"! time it right and get shot up to the top of insert_wall_here! definitely a feature and not a bug i cant fix because REM is buggy to mess with, not just in game, but in code too!

I would add a save feature like Kaizoleste had, But let's be honest- You aren't ever going to play this again after you rage quit. (And yes you will!)

Important

Not saying everything else here isn't, but still.

All levels AND berries are possible! I've tested it (see img below!). Some levels can only be beaten with wall clips and spike clips, and no, i will not explain wall clips. (Don't worry, they aren't that hard to do.)

I don't think gemskip is possible, as you cant walljump, only boing around.
And yes, i did try adding a boing sound effect, it just got way too annoying and i took it out.
Also please tell me my kiwi's look good. no one says they look good :(
And yes, the spinny thing is a pinwheel.

Here is my best time while playtesting:
