Brand New to this software but here is my first test, I've made a little character :)

This is Ami. I want to turn her in to an Esper/Physic but for now I have only done her basic walk animation. Voxatron isn't exactly animator friendly but I enjoyed the challenge and had a lot of fun making her. I will develop her more but for now feel free to use this model.

OH does anyone know how to cancel the moving animation when the player stops? She freezes on whatever frame of the animation your in when moving and i want her to go back to frame one instead. I cant figure it out :\ Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Play it and enjoy.

Game dev, got Pico-8 on the humble sale and loved it. Great way to practice or learn about making your own game engine.

This is just a quick test of an action combat/physics thingy I'm working on, posted here to show friends and save me the headache of hosting myself elsewhere.

Really like how the hair turned out. Go kill some goblins. It's okay, they come back.

it seems like all the drawing functions handle the floats fine by just truncating them anyway?

is there more memory overhead to store floats vs the int we get from flr?

what about the processor overhead from calling flr every time we want a random int?

Is it possible to pause or mute music in Pico-8 from script?

I want to halt the music for a short period when the player dies, and resume it when they respawn. Pause or Mute would both work in this case; I just don't want to restart the whole song every time they die.

Thanks!

This is what I currently do:

-- Player Spawns...
music(0)

--Player dies
music(-1)

-- Player Spawns...
music(0)

This is my first game created with PICO-8. It is a remake of C64 game 'Crillion' from 1988 (original game by Oliver Kirwa).

I re-created all 25 levels, and tried to copy the physics and controls of the original game. Still, it seems that the PICO-8 version is a bit harder to play because the ball moves faster. Anyway, please give it a try, and share your thoughts in comments.

Sorry for the sound effects, I'm not really good at creating noises/music, just turn off sound while playing... or even better: create nicer effects and let me know about it :)

An exceedingly brief and silly discourse/joke microgame. Wander an endless graveyard, learn about daunting perils, never encounter them.

Today I wanted to play around with the GPIO pins for a bit. But unfortunately I couldn't because every time I'd try to run a program that would poke the GPIO region Pico-8 crashes and hangs forcing me to take out the raspberry PI's power.

I'm running Pico-8 0.1.10c with root on a Rapberry Pi 1 Model B+ with Raspbian.

Is this a known issue? Or what could possibly cause this issue and how can I go about resolving it?

Thanks!

hello i have a problem when i want to make a pico 8 hand-held
i tried to run it under raspberry in a small display that’s connected to the pins(waveshare 2,8) but it turns out that when i start pico the signal is sent to hdmi i have another display from watterott same here if i tried it with pre installed img but if i use a script it works but i cant read the console any more...
there must be a problem with the scaling
can anybody help me with this i m a little lost and i want it so bad pico 8 is the best
sorry for my bad english

Waiting to see your feedback ;)

Hi! I'm attempting to build my first game using PICO-8 and am having some trouble with finding an online tutorial for this specific issue.

I'm looking for a simple function that will help make a defined object spawn periodically according to a timer. I've created a moving sprite and a frame counter that counts to 600 and repeats, and I'd like to have a specific enemy spawn on frame 600, instead of just spawning at the RUN command. Any suggestions?

I've included my code below, but it's admittedly very messy, as this is my first experience with programming outside of HTML. Also, if it's out of line to just hop on the forum and start pleading for help, let me know too! :P

This has happened a couple times and I was hoping it would just fix itself but it never seems to.

My browser does a pretty good job of keeping me logged in here on the forum, but every now and then it logs me out - which is fine, I understand how and why that happens.

But then once I'm logged out, I can't log back in with my password. I always have to login by email. Granted, this works, but then there's no purpose of having a password.

Even if I change my password on my profile, it will not allow me to log in.

Has anyone else experience this or am I on an island with this one?

If it's just me, then it's just me but wanted to call it out if it's something others have seen as well.

What am I doing wrong? I'm sure I'm being dumb.

I can go down ladders fine, but not up them.

Hi guys, I'm currently working on a top-down turn based rogue like. The camera follows the player (or enemy) around - whichever actor's turn it is. When it is the player's turn, I would like to display text as a menu but also have the camera above the player. Is there a way to print text without it being effected by the camera offset? Or should I be negating the offset with my print x/y co-ordinates?

A snippet of my player's draw function (called by function _draw())

function player:draw()
 --centre camera if it is the player's turn
 if actor_index == 1 then
  camera(self.x * 8 - 64, self.y * 8 - 64)	
 end

 -- draw the player
 spr(0,self.x * 8, self.y * 8) 

 textanimcolour += 1
 if textanimcolour > 15 then textanimcolour = 0 end

  if actor_index == 1 then

   --if we are in the move_or_action state, draw the menu as well.
   if self.state == "move_or_action" then
   --recentre camera
   camera()
   --draw the menu
   local yoffset = 80

--move_or_action_menu is an array of strings
   for i=1, #move_or_action_menu do
    local text_col = 5
    if i == self.menu_selection then text_col = textanimcolour end
    print(move_or_action_menu[i], 10, yoffset, text_col)
    yoffset += 10
   end
  end
 end

Feature request: a _pause() callback that is triggered just before the pause menu is displayed. This would give those of us who are using menuitem() a convenient way of doing a little preparation beforehand. I have a particular case where the contents of the menu may change depending on when it is opened.
