Hey guys, I just got Pico-8 recently through the Humble Bundle and started coding my first game in it.
It's supposed to be a clone of the old Berzerk game for the Atari 2600

0.9
Lots of updates. Too many to mention. Alot of changes are untested, hopefully this is all working. Please let me know if you have issues.
0.8.e
fixed end game crash (more missions coming)
player can hold only 3 items/potions
flip enemy and player for direction facing
bloody enemy deaths persistent on map
lots of new sfx added
(known bugs to fix for 0.9 release)
player sprite flipping doesnt pay attention to actions performed on adjacent tiles (such as attacking an enemy)
enemies can traverse through closed doors
draw order can be incorrect when alive enemy is standing on a dead enemy
player sometimes attacks dead enemies when alive enemy is standing on top.

Hey all, I'm generating random Pacman maps for my Tiny TV Jam game. So far, I have what are called "perfect" mazes being generated, using a common algorithm similar to recursive backtracker. The problem is that a "perfect" maze is one with a start, an end, and only 1 path from start to end.
Pacman mazes aren't designed in such a way, as they are what are called "fully braided" mazes - they have zero dead ends, so all corridors are interconnected. I've done a little research into how a fully braided maze might be generated, and unfortunately there don't seem to be any actual algorithms for doing this. I have only found people who have asked about how to do it, but no real clear answers, only hints about how one might go about doing it.
The best suggestion I found was to generate a normal "perfect" maze, as I am doing now, and then making a "walker" that goes through the maze once it's generated, looks for dead ends (an open tile that's only connected to 1 other open tile), and then removes them either by deleting a wall to connect it to another corridor (if possible), or if not possible to connect it to another corridor, PLACE a wall to fill in the dead end. Then have it repeat walking through again until it's covered all open tiles and verifies all the dead ends are removed.
The problem is that this all sounds a little bit over my head. I have no idea how to go about doing this. I know that the game will not be playable if there are dead ends in the map, because the AI will inevitably get you at the dead end, so it would make the game impossible. Here's my map generator (press Z to generate new maps; orange tiles are walls, purple are paths):

This is a port of my favorite mobile game, which was originally designed by Area/Code Entertainment. Zynga acquired the original version, and they promptly ruined the minimalist experience with a bunch of abrasive and irritating hooks. On top of that, all of the clones I've found have been kind of janky.
Pico8 to the rescue! I'm trying to make the very best totally-free version of Drop7. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Click to drop disks.
A disk is destroyed if its number is equal to the size of the group that contains it. A "group" is a horizontal row or vertical column of adjacent disks (like Connect-4, except with no diagonals).

My jigsaw puzzler for the tiny TV jam. Forgive me if I'm doing something wrong, I'm new :D
Your comments / suggestions are welcome!

My contribution to the jam as it stands day 1. The idea was to use the fact that the TV has this cube-like shape and try to play a little bit with rotations and viewing a 3d-object through these dead-on 2d views, in the vein of Fez. I'm pretty happy about how the door transitions ended up! I'd like to add some more doors in the future.
You control the green-shirted protagonist with the arrow keys:
- Left & Right, for movement
- Up, for doors
- Down, for crouching
Kindle the fire!

Hello, vox community.
I have a question about merging rooms from different carts.
I have try doing it but it looks like rooms loose links to objects and come out broken.
What is the best way to prep rooms and objects so it can be merge easy.
Thanks for your help.

Here's my submission for #tinyTVjam
// INSTRUCTIONS //
- Move the white cube and stick gems from the borders.
- you can turn with [z] and [x]
- Mix the acid with a gem cluster to remove all gem with the same color.
- Each time you steal a gem from the border, your energy bar is filling up. When it's full you will refill the border with brand new gems as soon as you leave the border zone.
// TODO //
There's no gameover yet, but you can get stuck pretty easily
I just need to find a way to detect stuck situation and end the game

Hi guys,
not sure if this is due to updates
but the code from the warp tutorial
is throwing back -unclosed function
It seems to be for the for and if statements
however I'm not sure which require closing!
Any help with this would appreciated!

This is a game we all had fun with as a child. See if you can make the DVD logo hit the corner.
Use your mind to play.
Good luck.

How can I change map from a coordinate ? For example; There is a room with skeletons, and after killing skeletons I will go next to the door and I'll be teleported to room with spiders

My first game...if you have suggestions on improving the looping and performance, they will be gladly taken
I could not get the collision working, I found a solution and adapted it from this cartridge #23035# - The slow and the Curious 1.2
Press up to jump
Move a bit with left and right
The spawning is not complete, it still spawns unbeatable patterns every now and then.

Got Pico yesterday, and was up all night hacking at it. Wanted to start out by not pushing the limits of pico too hard and working pretty close to the constraints the engine provides.
I wanted to dabble slightly in lighting effects via my little shadow function, though it definitely doesn't scale as is. Also messing with the perspective of the camera and hacking in a tile animation/some more interesting blending on the tile boundaries.
Code is seriously messy, so next step is to clean it up a bit.

Tanks
Move around and shoot enemy tanks!
Arrow keys - Move
(In-game):
Z-Restart (when dead)
X-Shoot
Welp, here it is. My first published Pico-8 game. OUO This was made for Eevee's Games Made Quick game jam over here. Honestly, I don't think I would've had much motivation to do anything with the one moving tank thingy I had beforehand if I hadn't seen this. Plus it meant I could practice my multitasking! :P
The process for creating this game was actually kinda easy.. besides a few mishaps here and there. Thankfully I got some help from Guerragames when I made a few small errors here and there, thanks for pointing those out! c:
