The first "official" release of the PETSCII-inspired pixeleditor Lifedraw.
Controls:
Cursor keys - move
X - Menu / Select tile and other feature from the menu
C - Draw
Post works made with it with the hastag #lifedraw. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

I wrote this little game with my niece and nephews, to show them how games are made.
My nephew said he thought it'd be all much easier...
Use the arrow keys to steer the ship.
Use X to spawn green slimey tentacle aliens.
Use Z to fire a space rocket at them.
SAFE THE UNIVERSE! DO IT! NOW!!!

I know at least 90% of us who trawl the forums already own PICO-8, but just thought I'd share for the few who don't. You can get PICO-8 in the "Beat the Average" bundle for currently less than $7, or pay $10 to add Voxatron. Lots of other good software in there as well.
Here's the sauce: https://www.humblebundle.com/game-developer-software-bundle.

Melting Snow: Hide and Seek is a two-player hide and seek game played in the snow. The first player hides. As you do so, you inevitably leave clues: footprints in the snow, barrels pushed out of place, gates left open, chickens frightened into odd places. After you hide, the second player (who has been closing his eyes) takes over as the seeker. You look for the hider, but not just anywhere: try to narrow your search by deducing where the hider must be. To investigate a place, move to it and then tap the Z and X keys rapidly back and forth. Once you've filled the search bar the game will tell you whether you've found the hider. If not, keep searching until the time runs out.
Good, quick fun for families and friends. Enjoy!

Hello. After website redesign, new Pico-8 player is terrible slow. It calls _update60 function 30 times per second, even if there is no CPU lag (stat(1) ~ 0.11)
Here is test:
It works great on desktop Pico-8 and when exported to HTML5. But it plays terrible on this website, every second lasts for 2 realtime seconds.

press z to generate text using a markov chain
this is almost done. almost. I'll keep working on this until it works. or until someone else makes it work.
usage:
place the markov function in your code
markov(input text,n-gram length,[output length] |
input text - string, required
this is the string you want to use to teach the neural network with. it's used to populate a table of n-grams, then later to build the output string
n-gram length - integer, required
the length of each n-gram. an n-gram is a string of characters with a length of n. these are pulled out of the input text by stepping through it character by character
output length - integer, default 32
how long the outputted string should beknown issues:
- lookit that wacky output
- it sometimes hangs if the input text is too short (this shouldn't be a problem with a good paragraph. a standard lorem ipsum or navy seal pasta works fine)
- it's probably poorly optimized and messy

A heads up for Voxatron users -- the first version of the Lua api will be out next week in 0.3.5!
Pictured above is the result of drawing voxels directly into a room's map. The 0.3.5 api also provides access to actor attributes and state, spawning, camera control, and direct access to the display. The entire PICO-8 api is in there with some 3D counterparts (line3d, box, sphere), and it's possible to import a pico-8 cart into the resource tree, place it in a room, and run the cart on a single slice of the display. The .p8 cart shows up in the resource navigator, and is placeable in the room like this:
The code can also be edited to make slight adjustments for the 3d display:
In other news, I've updated the website with mobile-friendly cart listings and touch controls for the carts. It's still a work in progress -- the sound in particular is very choppy or missing altogether. But apart from that it is quite useable. If you have a modern phone or touch device please try it out!

Don't stand still.
Don't touch the walls.
Have fun and give feedback if you want to :)

a music cart for Mountains of Demise II because I couldn't resist the urge to listen to this awesomeness in a separate cart.
use freely.

Hello everyone.
As I was writing Save Yourself I needed some proper debugging methods to speed up finding bugs. Because my game was almost over token and char limit I had to completely scrap debug code at the end of the cycle. So I thought moving this debug to other cart may help someone in same need as I was.
FEATURES:
- Prints messages with time (in seconds) attached.
- Deals with strings, numbers and nils
- Ability to control number of messages shown
- Ability to use spam filter - useful when you debug something every frame
- Show cpu consuption for update and draw method
- Have space for player coordinates and additional info visible below messages
Code is non minified and commented. Feel free to ask questions.

I still want to add music, a title screen, and update a few of the graphics, but for the most part, this is a complete experience.
You play as a pink slime on the hunt for gold coins. As you collect more coins, the world opens up to you.

EDIT3: round 2 -- with updated algorithms, methodology, and results
EDIT2: added Catatafish's method -- we have a new champion!!
EDIT: added solar's method.
EatMoreCheese's thread about triangle rasterizers got me thinking about the different "trifill" methods that have been posted to the BBS—and so, in the spirit of the holiday season, I wrote a small profiler to pit them against each other in a brutal, winner-takes-all competition.
Methodology: I measure the time it takes for each routine to draw the same table of 300 randomly-generated triangles ten times over. Vertex extents are in the range [-50, 178].
CAVEATS: This is not an "apples-to-apples" comparison, or even apples-to-genetically-modified-oranges. For example, scgrn's method draws n-gons (not just triangles) and creamdog's method draws particularly chunky triangles. For personal edification only—no code-shaming intended!
Results:
Let me know if you'd like me to change your entry, or add others!

Description: In Coffee Catch, the goal is simple: get the desired amount of coffee with as few misses as fast as possible! To get a cup (or several) of joe, use the arrow keys to move. But be careful, holding the button down for too long will result in a miss and you will lose points.
License: You can use any part of my game or code. Just make sure you credit me. (Please!)
Notes: This is my first Pico-8 game so please, feel free to leave any feedback! (Just be nice... or not. Do whatever you want, I'm not your parents.)
Change log: Fixed an issue where the game would read several inputs at once. (Thanks @EatMoreCheese for pointing that out! You get a cookie. 
)

Just got Voxatron.
However I can't seem to figure out how to get a new player character (or any object for that matter) into an edit mode so I can change what it looks like (or make it at all).
I am sure I am just missing some sort of shortcut key or something. When I go into the edit I just get the edit of the player settings not what it looks like.
Any help much appreciated.
