Someone make this happen :D
I was looking at that compohub.net for a jam I could use pico8 but surprisingly there is nothing left this year (except a game a month but an entire month is too long for me to participate).

Still being able to load carts, just not edit and save them. This would be useful in case of carts that are laggy in browser but fine when dl'd and when you want to distribute "standalone" version of your game.

a sliding pipe puzzle game that loops around

i made this game in less then 2 days. its based on a game i made on the gamebuino console and i also made a version in lovejs

Hi,
This is my first contribution and it is not a game. It is a small terrain renderer I made to see what was possible to do with pico 8 and how far.
The terrain definition is based on height maps of 32x32. The cartridge goes with 4 different maps.
The rendering has two modes:
a real time one, sort of voxel based that allows to move camera/lighting
an actual rasterization that is computed in background when the camera/lighting stays still
controls:
arrows: in camera mode, move the orbital camera, in lighting mode, move the directional camera
when in camera mode, pressing x/v while moving allows zooming in/out

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 !!!

Pizza, Matt > Thanks for your comments
Comments welcome :)
This goes to an end... Now, I will start a new projet... "chop" !
Kind regards,

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.

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 |
