Hello, if you are near London on July 23rd, if you are addicted to PICO-8, if you know us (Picoscope / Codyssea) from near or far, let us know! The goal is to bring together experienced enthusiasts (in hardcore mode). http://codyssea.com


About
I often find myself resetting Picotron whenever my filesystem gets a bit messy - and I have this totally irrational fear that I’ll break something (I’m on Linux, btw). So, for convenience, I created a cart that sets up Picotron just the way I like it with a single click.
Then I thought - maybe others would find this useful too. Whether you're looking to design your own theme with predefined widget positions or just want a quick start with a custom setup, this could help. So, I released it as the “Widget Edition” of my Red Panda theme.

Big thanks for letting me include your amazing carts!
Following cold on the heels of my earlier Quick 'n' Dirty Galaxy Generator, here's another little toy cart that'll ultimately be part of a larger effort. Right now it's a pretty basic dice-based endless space battler. You control the ship on the left, the computer controls the ship on the right. Blow each other up using the power of six-sided die!
There's a laundry list of to-dos here, including making the weapons modules a bit more balanced–right now it's kinda all-or-nothing for how useful a module is in a fight. As with the QnD Galaxy Generator, the intent here is to deterministically generate a vast array of different ships from a single seed, allowing for ultra-compact save files.


Snekburd is a Pico-8 demake of Snakebird, by Noumenon Games, with new puzzles and mechanics! Navigate the snakebirds to eat all the fruit and head through the portal to complete the levels on each island. The first island's levels should serve as a quick tutorial to new players or a refresher for returning ones. The game featues about 70 levels, ranging from mostly easy to absurdly hard. Of course, if you haven't played the original Snakebird games, I highly recommend them. Especially Snakebird Primer if you find this demake too difficult.
Controls
- arrow keys : move
- Z/C : undo
- X/V : switch control










When using batch drawing with sprites (i.e. supplying spr with a userdata), the sprites are drawn ignoring how camera is set using camera().
For example, if the userdata gives the position x=10, y=10, the sprite will always be drawn 10 pixels from the top of the screen and 10 from the left, regardless of how camera() has been set.
This isn't how other batch drawing operations work (which do seem to respect the camera) or how spr() works normally, and also doesn't (by my reading) match what's documented here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/picotron_gfx_pipeline.html. As such, I assume this isn't intended and is a bug?

About
I designed this theme because I'm totally obsessed with red pandas and their signature colors: red, white, and black. These colors are part of the aesthetic I carry across every operating system I use, and I wanted to bring that same vibe to Picotron.
Installation
Note: Refer to this post if you're looking for a one-click installation and built-in widgets.
- THEME:
If you don't already have/appdata/system/themes/
, the easiest way to get it is by running this command in the terminal:cp /system/themes/ /appdata/system/themes/
After that, just run this command to install the theme:
store("/appdata/system/themes/red_panda.theme",unpod("b64:bHo0ADwBAAAYAgAAoHtkZXNrMD0xNywJAEExPTE0CQCRX3NoYWRvdz01DgB0dG9wMD0yMQwANDE9MAsA8ApfcGF0dGVybj1weHUAQyAMDARnAAcAB2AHBgAfAAwABQ8eAAsCDAAFYgAGigCRb3JfYm9yZGVyjAAADgBTdXR0b24bAIFmcmFtZT0xMw0AcHRpdGxlPTYMAERtYW50OAAWMBEABzsAAREAAj8ABiEAAkIAkTUsaWNvbjA9NwgAMTE9OAgAEDKBAAAJABAzCQCUdG9vbGJhcj03CgAQMYYAAwwAFzIMAHVfYmFjaz0wDwAAQgAIHwBGaXRlbUYA9ABfc2VsZWN0ZWQ9OCx3aW7DABIxDQACvwAhMTMOAAK8ACEyOQ0AArkAEDcMADZkb3f6AAQQAAI6AAUQAAI8AAUvAIB0aXRsZT04fQ=="))
