Hi there,
I'm making a scorched earth-style game and it's all coming together pretty well, but I'm having some real problems with collision. Right now what I've got is pretty rudimentary but I can't work out how to do it any better. Basically when the tank fires a shot, the shot moves in a parabola with variables yspeed and xspeed that get added on to the y and x positions of the shot each frame. The shot cannot collide with anything for two frames (to prevent collision with the tank itself) but after that, the shot should explode on contact with any pixel that isn't the colour of the background (i.e. black). However, if moving at a decent speed it will usually move through walls for a frame or so before exploding.
I've attached the cartridge and the relevant collision code.
function shot:update() if self.timeout > 0 then self.x = flr(self.x + self.xspeed) self.y = flr(self.y + self.yspeed) self.yspeed = self.yspeed + gravity self.timeout -= 1 else if self.x>=127 then self.x = 127 fired = false end if self.x<=0 then self.x = 0 fired = false end if self.y>=127 then self.y = 127 fired = false explode = true sfx(1,1) end if pget(self.x,self.y+3)!=0 and pget(self.x,self.y+3)!=textclr then fired = false explode = true sfx(1,1) end self.x = flr(self.x + self.xspeed) self.y = flr(self.y + self.yspeed) self.yspeed = self.yspeed + gravity end end |

Fewer colors
More colors (noisier)
Room for perf improvements, including those scanlines. But it works!

Made a little demo for Matataki.midi, converted by the great gamax92. This is my second demo, and I'm really proud of it. :)

For Ludum Dare 36! The theme is "ancient technology", though it didn't exactly take center stage here.
Tiny puzzle-platformer with some less common mechanics.
Once again, to fit within the compressed size limit, I had to strip out all the comments. :(

Updated (8/30/2016 19:26 EST) to fix a bug that made the versus AI mode unwinnable if you tried to continue after losing. Also fixed a bug where you could select a non-existent menu option.

Basic 2D shooter. My first try at using PICO-8 as a fun platform.
Aiming for a Galaga-style game with wave-buildup and player powerups.
Want to focus on solid controls and achievable art :) .

Hi all, this is my unfinished Ludum Dare 36 submission (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-36/?uid=20847). I started building the game with the day/night system and text menus; by the time I was 40 hours in I realized that I hadn't found the game mechanic and decided to call it quits. Still learned a ton, though.
Quick shout out to geckojsc for the lua coroutine dialog system tutorial: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3833 I used a lot of the work here with a few tweaks to build the textboxes and in-game menu. One issue I'd like to address in the future is a more terse way of setting up actors and conditional scripts. I feel like when Pico-8 cartridges reach a length of ~1000 chars or so, things start to get really messy in terms of source code organization. Additionally, there were a few functions that I had trouble "hoisting" and I couldn't figure out why. If anyone has pointers on how to simplify the data structures I'm using or specifically better use of tables, please let me know. Thanks for taking a look!

Hey,
I've got a friend who tried to bring up any of the games listed here on his cellphone. It is a Galaxy 7. While he can click on the button to go full-screen, there are no actual buttons on his cellphone that can do the movements of UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT nor press buttons (A), (B), or (C).
With a touch screen telephone is there a way to play PICO games ?

イメージ素材のみとなります。3*5ドットのPICO-8のフォントと同じサイズです。
ぱっと見た感じでは読めますが文字の前後の並びによっては著しく可読性が下がってしまうかもしれません。
改善の余地がまだある素材ですが、もし良ければお使いください。

Hi all,
just getting my feet wet with pico-8 even if I've programmed quite extensively over the years. So far I'm having a blast!
Now to the question:
Is it safe to remove elements from a table while traversing it?
foreach(actor,update_actor) ... function update_actor(a) if(a.dead) delete(actor,a) end |
Or does the above skip elements?
Other option would be to mark elements for deletion and then make a delete sweep post the update calls.
Thanks!

It has been almost six hours since you have entered this cursed pyramid. Upon reaching the table, you noticed four carved patterns on the wall and a bag full of runes. You understand you have to make those patterns as fast as you can. Walls start contracting on you when you approach the table.
