Hi,
BLD is a BoulderDash like.
The player:
- can move (arrow keys)
- goes not too fast
- can push the rocks
- can collect gems (50 points)
The rocks and gems fall (bottom, left or right). Take care, they can kill (3 lives).
=> You can destroy the butterfly !!!
Connorses > boulders don't rolling off flat ground :-)
Pizza, Matt > Thanks for your comments
Comments welcome :)
This goes to an end... Now, I will start a new projet... "chop" !
Kind regards,
jihem

Pixelmind V1.0
My little take on the classic Mastermind....
Controls:
left/right to navigate left and right
up/down to shuffle through faces
z/x to submit guess (and to continue when round ends).
For each guess submitted little lights show you info about the guess:
GREEN: is a correct guess and correctly placed.
YELLOW: is part of the lineup, but is misplaced.
RED: is not part of the lineup
You've got 7 tries for each game and it gets a bit more difficult for each level, as you are awarded stars - No really, real 80s superstars! - for each level completed. This makes it a little more difficult.
Hope you enjoy it, and let me know if you think 7 tries is too much or too little!

Hi, this is my first pico-8 "game".
I never coded in lua, as a java programmer, it's hard :(
Notes:
-The colision check is so buggy (maybe my fault, i think).
-I speak spanish, so... "sorry for mah bad english".
-Also, the game is a port of my javascript version of the game
-I forgot to update the score when you destroy an enemy, duh.
I'll appreciate your feedback c:

Sometime ago, Josh Millard made the PICO Junior.
A few days ago, sta64 found out about PICO-8's Screen Resolutions.
I had the idea to combine the ideas, so I present the PICO Junior (Jr. for short) Challenge.
Requirements:
- 4 colors in total (transparency doesn't count)
- Must be 64x64
- One Player
Everything else? Fair Game.
To make sure that the games are easy to find, I've got 2 ideas:
- Put them all in this post.
- Tag them with "picojr".
I've got an example cartridge, lemme know which method would be easier.

Hi, I was trying to cache an entire frame in ram to be able to blit it later on on screen.
However the user defined memory is not big enough to hold an entire frame (lacks 1kB)
Fair enough, as I was not using sfx at all, i tried to overlap on that memory but for some reasons some bytes in that area seem to be masked and cannot take value greater than 0x7F
So my question is: Is there a place in RAM where i can safely read/write the extra 1024 bytes i need to cache an entire screen frame ?

Press X to play. Currently the only thing to do is explore.
0.2 - Added music, jellyfish and starfish

Hi all
I was just wondering about that. What can you do with those? I didn't know they existed until I noticed those weird sprites loosely resembled some maps. Is it just a thing that means you can use that space for either extra sprites or extra maps or does it have some use I'm not seeing?

Hi all
I made this just to get acquainted with Pico 8. It's a 2D gravitation simulation in a closed domain (the planets bounce off the walls). You can add planets, toggle lines and watch trajectories.
Fun fact: for 2 dimensions, the power law of gravity is actually 1/r. So you won't see closed orbits even with only two bodies.

2 player chess. Arrows to move, button 1 to select a piece and confirm a move, button 2 to deselect.
En passant, castling, and pawn promotion don't work. Because they're complicated. I'm going to try and make an improved version soon which will have these rules working properly. This is why it's v0.95.
If you're going to look at the code, be warned: here be dragons. Its messy. Also white and black are swapped in the code from what they actually are in the game. Don't ask.

The new export option is amazing, so I started messing with three.js (a webgl library) to use it with Pico 8.
And it works, so I made a simple proof of concept by drawing the pico 8 output in a sort of cathodic display style. The next step will be to import a 3D model of a computer screen or maybe an arcade cabin. So we can finaly see this great fantasy console.
Feel free to use the source code and mess with it. You can change your game just by replacing the game .js by the one exported from Pico 8.
Here is the page

Whenever I start up a game using the new web player, it says "future-version: 5", then after some time passes, I get "timeout :(". I figure I need to update the web player by clearing my cache, no biggie.
The new player gets to "loading cartridge..." then the web page crashes! (In Google Chrome, this is "Aw, snap!")
Offline carts still work, thank god.
Zep, don't sweat. Every game/program's pre-release stage is rocky.

This is a function that will generate cart's guid (used for cartdata function) based on things specific to the cartridge (mapdata, gfx, sfx and code).
function getcartguid() reload(0x4300,0x4300,7168) alphabet = "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx" guid = "" for i=0,15 do num = peek (0x0+i) guid = guid .. sub(alphabet,num+1,num+1) end for i=0,15 do num = peek (0x2000+i) guid = guid .. sub(alphabet,num+1,num+1) end for i=0,15 do num = peek (0x3200+i) guid = guid .. sub(alphabet,num+1,num+1) end for i=0,15 do num = peek (0x43af+i) guid = guid .. sub(alphabet,num+1,num+1) end --print (#guid) --print (guid) return guid end |

E.g. for storing text (hiscore name, anyone?). Since each number is 4 bytes long, to make standard "Top10" list you'd use only 40 bytes (results only). Which leaves 216 bytes free, that could be used for names, each 21 letters long (well, 21.6 actually, but we can't have 0.6 of character, now can we?). I know we can peek/poke into save data (although it seems memory map haven't been updated in manual), but I'm not sure if it would save.

As of version 1.2, PICO-8 includes a command useful for debugging: printh("string") This command prints a string to the host operating system's console. You can put printh() calls in your code to examine events or state without cluttering the game screen with debugging information.
So how do you see the host operating system's console?
In Linux, you probably already run the "pico8" command from a terminal window. If you don't, locate where you put the "pico-8" directory, then run the pico8 command from a terminal window using its full path. For example:
~/pico-8/pico8 |
In Mac OS X, instead of double-clicking the PICO-8 icon, open Terminal, then start PICO-8 with the following command, adjusting the path to match where you put the app. For example:
/Applications/PICO-8.app/Contents/MacOS/pico8 |
In Windows, instead of double-clicking the PICO-8 icon, open Command Prompt, then start PICO-8 with the following command:
"\Program Files (x86)\PICO-8\pico8.exe" |

Hey guys!
I was messing around with Pico and I've discovered a total of 6 new screen modes!! Please check
the GIF attached to see them in action. Some of them are sort of screen effects (mirror) but the others include
2x1 aspect ratio, 64 x 64 pixels and so on. I am so excited about this. I think this could change the look and feel of many games and makes Pico feel like the Amstrad CPC, C64 or other retro computers. I hope this is a feature and not a bug :)
I will post a cartridge soon.

Any chance we could get a Raspian build of PICO-8? I'd love to put PICO-8 on my sons little rip' machine with its new touchscreen - it'd be ideal for him to do some programming with!
So any chance we could get a Raspian binary folks?

- You're now a bit smarter and can cancel jumps! (press down or the action button other than the one you started the jump with)
- That extra brain power comes with added brain mass and now lily pads can sink! (6 seconds per pad, 13 on the first pad)
- You can now perform small hops and land on the same lily pad you're on
- Shortened delays in the game over -> title sequence
