Hi,
This is the first game make in pico8.
Instead of doing the tipical pong, decided to make a clone of the first racing game (that I know of) : Space Race from atari (1973).
2 PLAYERS CAN PLAY!
just use up and down arrows and E/D keys (player 1 and 2 respectively)
Please give me your comments
ENJOY!

It, would be convenient to be able to change what games appear on the top of my Favorites list. This what really help when handing someone new a pocketchip and show them pico8 so they can first see the games I think would get them to fall in love with the pocketchip and pico8 like mistigri and the adventures of jelpi

I'm not gonna be another growling at you about pico8 not being open source here aswell but at least fix HTTPS site wide.
No HTTPS on login and password changes is a huge security flaw and I'm stunned lexaloffle hasnt fixed this.
I can't imagine what other huge security holes are in pico8 waiting to be used to exploit pocketchip users.
captcha cat is cute tho. *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

Hey All -- PICO-8 0.1.10 builds are now live on Lexaloffle and Humble!
Update: 0.1.10b is up with bugfixes for the html exporter. (Changes)
Update2: 0.1.10c is up with fixed atan2()
Multicart Exporter
The EXPORT command can now be used to create a single .js (and .html) file that contains more than one cart. All of the carts can read, write, and run each other as if they were local files loaded from PICO-8. To do this, add the names of up to 15 extra cartridges you'd like to include in the export: (.p8 format only in 0.1.10)
> LOAD MENU.P8 > EXPORT MEGACART.HTML JELPI.P8 DRIPPY.P8 CAST.P8 |
Inside the program, you can then use RELOAD() to grab data from other carts:
-- GRAB JELPI'S SPRITESHEET RELOAD(0,0,0x2000,"JELPI.P8") |

Just a small experiment to see if I could get a big sprite moving on the screen.
Enjoy!

A small game with power, a score and pushing a ball with a paddle. Made in about an hour :)

This is my 1st game in pico-8. The vast majority of it was written on friday evening and took me about an hour. I hope you all enjoy it. If you have any suggestions, leave them below. I have more games to come!

I decided to make a new program with my pocket chip. I'm still learning so don't blame me for making such a cheap program :)

It was suggested I post this here, so I'm just going to copy/paste. This is a write-up on how I jumped some hurdles to make my rpg WaGa (having issues uploading the cart to here on my phone, I'll put it on soon)
PICO-8 and limitations
So, indie games are usually made to emulate older games, and follow similar restrictions. That's cool, but older games, at the time, were all trying to break past those restrictions, this gets a bit lost. PICO-8 is a platform given to us that attempts to force us to follow some restrictions, so now we get to make games exactly like older games: pushing those limits.
So recently I made an RPG for PICO-8, WaGa. I hit the token wall pretty quick. I had a lot of data, 50 some items, 8 enemies, enemy groups, stair exits, 4 characters with stats, and a bag that could hold items, and so on. PICO-8 follows a subset of lua, so I had to get fairly creative.
The biggest thing I found I could exploit, by far, is strings. One string is just a variable, and follows the same one token count as any other variable, this really opens things up. The only string function PICO-8 gives you is sub(), which is, as I found, all I needed to get done what I had to get done.
I did need a few other functions though. I needed explode, and I needed a string->number function. I think to myself, if I have these, I can have my entire set of items only take up one token! Had I really wanted to, I could have all of this a step farther, and had one huge database string itself, which i explode into datasets, which i explode into arrays.
Heres an example, my item dataset
--item

You are the infamous cat burglar Slyboots, and you've been forced out of retirement because copycats are making a mockery of your legacy. Show them who the real Slyboots is! Use the arrows key or gamepad to move, collect the treasure and exit. But which one are you?

Chase the kids back to their mat.
Arrow keys to move.
Z to scream, hold to increase radius.
Kids will run directly away from you.
Kids will run further from longer screams.
X to scoop the choup.
Kids left unattended will choup on the carpet.
16 choups and you lose.
100 points everytime you chase a kid back to the mat.
750 points every new level.

Dear all,
Can anyone see something wrong with this line of code...
if (sub(m[n],f,f)="1") then rect(f*5,n*5,(f*5)+5,(n*5)+5) |
...as it's giving me this syntax error...
')' EXPECTED NEAR '=' |
It sits in this nested loop:
for n=1,10 do for f=1,15 do if (sub(m[n],f,f)="1") then rect(f*5,n*5,(f*5)+5,(n*5)+5) end end |
Any help much appreciated as my eyes have dried out looking at it!

Game about carefulness, danger and ardor. Magic garden has overgrown with evil weeds, and old gardener invited you, two spirits, to help with this trouble. You have mystical powers to ignite and extinguish everything around, so your aim is to destroy all weeds on the map. I highly recommend to play this game with someone in pair.

A Pokemon Yellow Demake! (Not Complete)
Sorry, this cart is likely to not be complete by me since I haven't touched it in several months, but I didn't want all the art work to go to waste so I put it up anyways. I hope someone gets a bit of nostalgic joy from seeing something that is (fairly) accurate to the real game on the Pico-8!
I learned a lot about sprite art design and music from recreating this game. If someone would like to work on it further and you have any questions, you can send me a message on twitter @illMadeCoder, I'd love to help!
Thanks for checking out my cart!

when lauching pico8 with those parameters, the values are saved in config.txt.
I think they shouldn't.

I think the buffer texture should be rendered with a clamp_to_edge (or maybe a clamp_to_border on black)
