I am curious as to the devices that people use for portable play?
I am new to pico 8 and want a handheld console that I can take with me like a PSP. I saw an adafruit kit, the pigrrl zero, but doesn't exactly fit my needs and I am not very good with electronics.
Anyone have any recommendations?

Lode 8 is an action puzzle game similar to Lode Runner.
The goal of the game is to collect all the gold bullion.
- Control
Arrow key:Move
Z:Dig a hole left
X:Dig a hole right
- Demo movie

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to quickly share some pico8 tooling for visual studio code I wrote up. It's published at pico8-vscode.
Here's a mini screencast of it in action
Hope you find it useful. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in with more pico8 dev now I've got my tools working nice.

I wanted to make something that let me use different type-faces, so here's a rudimentary implementation of text-to-sprite.
I'd be quite happy to hear improvements, because I can't imagine my lookup table is the most effective method... >.>;
Hopefully, it'll be useful to someone! :)

Here's a toy I have been playing around with. Perhaps somebody can use these functions for fancy shaded 3D rendering or something like that.
I have a few functions that draw "RGB" pixels to the screen using pattern dither that are approximated using the rgb values of the pico8 palette.
color_bayer_plot_8(x,y,r,g,b) -- writes a given r,g,b at the x,y (r,g,b are from 0 to 1) fast_rgb_create() -- pre-renders patterns using a 4X4 bayer dither representing 8 levels of R and B and 16 levels of G. fast_rgb(x,y,r,g,b) -- writes a given r,g,b at the x,y (r,g,b are from 0 to 1) function solid_trifill( x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3, r0,g0,b0,r1,g1,b1,r2,g2,b2) Renders a triangle with the three corners colored at rgb and shades smoothly between them. Right now this uses the slower color_bayer_plot_8. |

My Hello World project!
Two points bounce about randomly on the screen, and colorful lines are drawn between them. Whenever one of the points bounces off the wall, one of four sounds will play. Each time you play, a different pattern will get drawn.
So far, there is no interactivity. Maybe in version 2...

I've run across two bugs. I don't know if they've been reported before. One may be CHIP specific, the other is most likely general.
1) Focus issue with controllers. With a CHIP starting with a controller plugged in, the controller is not immediately recognized.
Start Pico-8; try the controller, nothing happens; open the log file - a controller is shown as plugged in; go back to Pico-8; the controller now works. So you have to start Pico-8, shift focus away from it, go back to Pico-8, controller is now recognized.
This has been mentioned in the CHIP forum, but I don't know if it has been reported here.
2) Pico-8 does not work with a simple game pad.
I tried Pico-8 with Next Thing's (CHIP) supplied controller, and a Logitech Precision gamepad. Neither worked. Both recognized the start and fire buttons, but not the D-pad. I then tried a Logitech F-310 (controller with analog sticks). Pico-8 recognized this. Pico-8 is looking for an analog stick for direction control if you use a controller, not a D-pad.
There is no setting exposed to the user to change this behavior. As Pico-8 uses just 6 buttons for its control, it would seem that support for simple D-pad game pads would be appropriate.

This is the most complicated song I've done in pico-8. Taking me 3 and a half hours in total to complete. The song is 34 patterns long using 39 loops. This track uses all 4 channels for the following.
-Vocals/lead
-Drum
-Bass
-Keys (I couldn't fit the whole chords in so I just used the core notes in each of them)
UPDATE: I've used a piano roll visualiser using the code of kittenm4ster. Thank her for the awesome code.
Let me know what you think of this remastering in the comment thread. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
and of course, KEEP ON MEMIN'!!1!

First cartridge I've posted here, enjoy!
Also, try playing with setting r0 to a negative value ;)

I_EDITOR is a programming game. The goal is to write simple scripts to reproduce a drawing on screen. The commands used in the scripts move a pointer (“turtle”). The pointer has a pen, which can be up or down. When the pen is down, each move lays a print. There are additional instructions to make calculus, evaluate conditions and call previous declared sequences. The syntax and semantic are organized in language called I_CORE.
Now you can download the manual !
Le manuel en français est disponible.
Try to reproduce the blueprints or play with the sandbox...
I will add a score and more blueprints soon ;-)
In the main menu:
Choose a blueprint or the sandbox (up/down, x)
In the editor:
Choose the command in the first column (up/down, x) or return to the main menu (o)
Change column (left/right)
Change the value in the second colum (x, then left/right to decrease/increase)
Delete instruction in the second colum with (o)
Have a look on i_core thread to have more explanation about the language "I".
I will make a tutorial soon and post a link and additional information here.
Sample
:A 20 FD 90 TR ; :B 1 - # A ?B ; 4 B
CLR : clear
<CP : copy from clipboard
>CP : copy to clipboard
Copy the line below into the clipboard
:a 10 fd 90 tr ; a a a a
Paste in PICO-8, then activate <CP
/!\ WARNING:
Clipboard functions (<CP,>CP) aren't working in HTML exported cartridge.
Copy from notepad (text in the html browser may contain tag or additional characters)

Hello! I really enjoy working in pico-8, and I plan to use Raspberry Pi GPIO support to do some stuff with simple machines. I want to use an external process to handle stuff Pico-8 can't, like image recognition. My current plan is to rewrite a byte in the .p8 file and then reload that byte in the game periodically. Is there a better way to go about doing this? Thanks!
UPDATE: I had thought that Pico-8 might completely reserve access to the GPIO pins it's using, but this is not the case! After experimenting I've discovered that I can see changes made via another process within Pico-8. This way I can communicate with another process using the same pins.

Hallo Folks
this part of code perfectly crash your PICO-8 both PC and Pocket-CHIP version.
function f(a)
printh("f",a)
return yield (2*a)
end
co = cocreate(function(a,b)
printh("co1",a,b)
local r = f(a+1)
printh("co2", r)
local r,s = yield(a+b,a-b)
printh("co3",r,s)
return b, "end"
end)
printh("m1",coresume(co,1,10))
printh("m2",coresume(co,"r"))
printh("m3",coresume(co,"x","y"))
printh("m4",coresume(co,"x","y"))
