How To Play
- X to Shoot Stuff
- Arrow Keys to move and jump
- Fire at health crates to turn them into ammo
Description
The pollen wars are in full effect and it's up to you to destroy the robots that seek to eradicate all pollen from your planet.
Shoot Stuff is a small arcade game that can be completed in a single sitting. This was my first Pico-8 game and I had a blast making it. Everything about this game was inspired by the Pico community and all the awesome things you guys are making.

I based this extremely heavily on someone's Lua highlighter, but there's a few nifty features. It'll only highlight lua code in the lua section, and it displays stuff in the gfx section as pictures.

If you're looking for a complete portable PICO-8 solution, good news! PICO-8 is going to ship pre-installed on Next Thing Co.'s upcoming PocketC.H.I.P. -- a complete portable mini-computer with built-in storage, wifi, keyboard, battery, touchscreen and everything else PICO-8 needs! The last few months, I've been working closely with the team at Next Thing Co. to create "PICO-8 C" -- a fully functioning and compatible edition designed to integrate nicely with NTC's hardware and software. It will be available to Kickstarter backers, or you can also pre-order one for just $49 bucks.
You can read more about the PocketC.H.I.P. over at getchip.com

According to this website, the PocketCHIP is going to be shipping with PICO-8. Zep, do you have any comments on this? Will PocketCHIP owners be getting updates?

For my first work in progress, a colourful little demo/scroller. No music yet, and it doesn't have much to say.

Pico8 computer
This blog is an account of my attempt to build a retro stand alone pico8 computer.
below is a crude mock up the shape it will take.
The computer is a Raspberry Pi 3 with a 1024*600 LCD screen.
It has a mechanical keyboard, integrated power, amplifier, speakers, a
few switch's and LED's. Ports at back will offer flexible power switching, and integrated voltmeter.
The case is partly 3d printed, and partly made from acrylic sheet, it will be sanded and
sprayed a suitable colour and adorned with a pico8 logo.
I may also have a hardware cartridge slot, for pico8 cartridges(with SD cards in them)
Progress so far:
Pi image complete, with working screen and auto boot into Pico8
Base acrylic sheet is all cut read to assemble,
all parts are ready to go.
I also intend to have a concave screen and have built a mould to form the plastic.
If anyone is interested I can provide more details as the project progresses.

Currently a work in progress. Right now, puzzles are randomly generated, but in the future I'll likely add in pre-made levels.

Hi. Going through the Smoke Particle section of zine #1 and found an error I couldn't solve. If you copy paste the following code..
function make_smoke(x,y,init_size,col)
local s = {}
s.x=x
s.y=y
s.col=col
s.width = init_size
s.width_final = init_size + rnd(3)+1
s.t=0
s.max_t = 30+rnd(10)
s.dx = (rnd(.8).4)
s.dy = rnd(.05)
s.ddy = .02
add(smoke,s)
return s
end
function _init()
smoke = {}
cursorx = 50
cursory = 50
color = 7
end
function move_smoke(sp)
if (sp.t > sp.max_t) then
del(smoke,sp)
end
if (sp.t > sp.max_t15) then
sp.width +=1
sp.width = min(sp.width,sp.width_final)
end
sp.x = sp.x + sp.dx
sp.y = sp.y + sp.dy
sp.dy= sp.dy+ sp.ddy
sp.t = sp.t + 1
end
function _update ()
foreach(smoke, move_smoke)
if btn(0,0) then cursorx=1 end
if btn(1,0) then cursorx+=1 end
if btn(2,0) then cursory-=1 end
if btn(3,0) then cursory+=1 end
if btn(4,0) then color = flr(rand(16)) end
make_smoke(cursorx,cursory,rnd(4),color)
end
function draw_smoke(s)
circfill(s.x, s.y,s.width, s.col)
end
function _draw()
cls()
foreach(smoke, draw_smoke)
end

Another educational toy cart for my son. Not terribly interesting for the grownups here, but it shows the effect of changing the operands of a multiplication operation.
Controls:
Left/Right : Choose which operand to select
Up/Down : Increase/Decrease the selected number
Z/X : Choose a different visualization of the multiplication operation

Version .3 update: Added attacking while jumping, double-jumping, and fixed the scores and glitches. Let me know if you find bugs!
This is still my "first game", it's a full screen, enhanced version of the Lowrezjam submission I made.
Two players versus only at the moment.
Controls are simple. left and right to move your player, up to stab upward, down to block. Buttons to jump and attack.
There's an AI in the works but it's laughably, three-stooges stupid at the moment. Graphics are still being tweaked (clouds are janky). Also, the scoring isn't displayed because I have to recode it for 4 or more characters, but you can still win by knocking the other person off the ledge 7 times.
Challenge a friend, see what you think. I'll finish the AI, recode the scoring, and maybe speed up the combat a little. Add a double-jump maybe.
Under the hood, feel free to peek. The platform collision is all done by one ground_check function. hit detection is done by the sword leaving 'hit bits' on the map. (this led to funny bugs of there being invisible 'mines' around the map when the bits didn't clear properly).
I'm being guarded and cautious. Whatever. Enjoy.

Hi. I'm trying to learn about collisions using the DOM8VERSE section of zine 3 but I'm getting weird error messages whenever I try and use a foreach.
For example, when I try this:
function _update()
if btnp(5, 0) then
add(objects, bulletconstruct(player1.position.x,player1.position.y))
end
foreach(objects, function(obj)
obj.update(obj)
end
end
.. I get ')' expected ( to close '(' at line 0.0003891 near 'end'
I've tried adding and taking away brackets, as well as 'end' statements but I can't get it to work. Thought it was strange as I'm copy pasting zine 3 code.
Anyone know the solution?
