Extremely limited (hacked-together) work in progress:
Explore a room!
Listen to some (unfinished) music!
Feast your eyes on a colour! (two, if you count black)
(the piano was playable - two chords - but i've switched it off so the music plays through)

I had thirty bucks to blow, so I got a Game Gear (No picture, due to my phone sucking).
I know this is unrelated to PICO-8, but this thing is amazing!
Came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which is a BLAST (see what I did there?).
Sorry to waste your time, I just wanted to tell you guys.

I have dual monitors setup to my really old laptop. I'm running windows8.
I'd like to use my external monitor for pico8 without having to redistribute through windows which monitor is #1.
Does anyone know what I can do to 'force' pico8 to fullscreen on monitor 2? It doesn't seem to care what desktop it's on when maximized like most programs. Voxatron has same issue.
I don't think this is necessarily a Pico8 issue and is more of a windows issue, but I thought I'd ask here in case other people found a solution to this.

Hi, new member here.
I have some requests for the pattern editor:
- insert/delete line: please assign ins/del for that, leaving the Delete key as it is
- please allow copy/paste and undo for notes
- please give us one octave above, for convincing high-hats. one octave below for pounding bass would be nice too
- I suspect the way effects 6 and 7 work, only allow for 4/4 signatures. I'd love to be able to start the effect on the exact same line that I call it, instead of every 4 lines.
I know some of these are doable by editing the cart data, but leaving pico8 is a hassle when you're in the zone.
By the way I wrote this:

Whenever I use "Alt+Left" shortcut to go from the sprite editor to the code editor, the cursor in the code editor moves one character left. This also happens when using "Alt+Right" from the tracker, except the cursor moves right instead.
It's not the most annoying thing in the world, I know, but I think this could be easily fixed.
Here you can see a .gif:

Hi, I'm trying to place pickups in my game using the map function, but I cannot figure out how to enable the player object to pick them up...

I'm pleased to announce picotool, a set of tools and Python libraries for manipulating Pico-8 game files. picotool can read .p8.png and .p8 files, and can write .p8 files.
To get picotool and learn how to use it, visit the picotool Github repo.
The p8tool command is a multi-tool with multiple functions. You can run it like this:
% p8tool stats helloworld.p8.png hello world (helloworld.p8.png) by zep version: 0 lines: 48 chars: 419 tokens: 134 |
picotool currently includes the following tools:
- build: builds a cart from pieces of other carts
- stats: a statistics reporting tool
- listlua: prints the Lua region of a cart
- writep8: converts a .p8.png cart to a .p8 cart
- luafmt: writes a new .p8 cart with Lua rewritten with regular formatting, to make it easier to read

On the lower right corner of the code, i can see a field displaying how many tokens I use out of the 32000 token limit. But I'd swear that some days before, it was displaying my number of symbol usage out of the symbol limits.
Is there a way to switch between the two ?

New Version 1.1.1:
Oops I introduced a bug with previous version. Fixed!
Version 1.1:
As I was asked several times, I added options to allow manual fire and non inverted Y axis.
I also slightly lowered the laser sound as it was a bit annoying (It is still but lower :D)
I finally found the time to finish my shooter.
Here is Hyperspace, a 3D shooter with endless enemy waves. Try to beat your score during your last stand! Dodge through asteroids, resist enemy waves and defeat the bosses.
The barrel roll (with X) allows you to be untouchable for a short period of time.
The time is accelerating continuously so kill all enemies the fastest possible to get the best score.
I struggled a lot with token limit and I couldnt implement all i wanted. The code is messy as hell as I had to hardcode everything to save tokens
More sfx/music can still be added if I find some more tokens.
Looking forward to seeing your feelings about the game! And dont hesitate to share your highscores!
PS: The webplayer may have some slowdowns from time to time, the game in pico 8 client should run at a stable 30fps

Hello !
I'm rather new to pico-8 and the community... and I've just fallen in love with both of them.
Searching resources and toys for my personal pico-library, I have found some API cheatsheets. But I think these are for older versions (v0.1.2) or don't have some other tips I have found throughout the forums.
So I have built my own API cheatsheet !
Here it is: http://neko250.github.io/pico8-api/
I hope you find it useful ! :)

This is a small graphics exercise & de-facto walking simulator.
it features:
-Nice isometric tiles.
-Simple collisions.
-Color cycling & Day/Night palette.
-Looping map
-Some other things
I wasn't smart enough to figure out:
-Dynamic z-ordering
-Level compression
Also, the "music" was made in a previous version,
so some of the patterns do not loop as originally intended.
Legal Boilerplate:

Hi,
I'm new to Pico-8, and i've been trying to learn the program using the Pico-8 Pong Tutorial found in the zine.
When I tried to test the paddle, by running it, nothing came up. Am I doing something wrong?
This is what I have so far. Is anything incorrect?
function movepaddle() if btn(0) then padx-=3 elseif btn(1) then padx+=3 end end function _update() movepaddle() end function draw() --clearthescreen rectfill (0,0,128, 128, 3) --drawthepaddle rectfill(padx,pady,padx+padw+padh,15) end |

Hey Zep I'm wondering if I can take the file of the lexaloffle website file and take Pico8 & Voxatron section then create a huge website for each game. This is just a idea, so I do not expect the answer yes. I didnt create a email with account, so I cant give it to you. I have plans for the website. Just comment back and Ill comment ideas.
Thanks!#VOXAON
