I noticed a lot of people have questions about collision detection and response. This is my first attempt at axis aligned bounding boxes. The collision detection works great, but the collision response could use work. I have to call the collision detection function twice per frame, for detecting collisions on each axis, which seems wasteful. Also, the objects move over each other on the y axis a bit:/ idk why. I would appreciate any suggestions, also, please use this if you find it helpful!

Finished! Currently my only released game for Pico-8 hoper you enjoy!
Scrolling text was done by creating a timer variable, and placing the text at x-timer

Minor update for breakout, here's what's new:
-Level completion fanfare
-Slightly less buggy collision detection

Here's my entry for tinytvjam! Very primitive version of breakout, using sprites for level data. The collision's not perfect, and the levels are all identical to play, but whatevs.

this is my submission for GAMES MADE QUICK???. it also has an itch.io page. here is the description quoted from there:

"hi. this is a toy i made. it has no real ending, but feel free to try speedrunning it anyway if you wish.

as there's no sound, please provide your own ambience, relaxing or otherwise.

you may encounter bugs. the bugs are intentional and cannot be destroyed. good luck."

Annihilation 3150 is an accurate depiction of what the world will be like in the year 3150. Death, destruction, cyborg armies roaming the streets killing and maiming everything in their sight. Hug your kids, and be glad that you are alive today and not in 3150 because you wouldn’t stand a chance of surviving!

First game...
Adapted from "Squashy" example in Picozine #1

Added:
-Animated splashscreen
-4 difficulty levels
-Improved collisions
-Progressive difficulty
-Highscore saving

“A babe, a stogie, and a bottle of Jack. That's what I need right now.”
Duke mused on his recent defeat of the Rigelatins, his voice raspy even in his thoughts. After single-handedly saving Earth -again- he was ready for a long period of lying the hell down.

“And no more freakin' aliens.”

Just then, a white-hot plasmatic blast punched through the hull of his cruiser. Klaxons flared, warning lights flashed, and static filled his monitors. He flipped on his comm.

“Hey, anybody out there? I got a little probl...” Duke started.
“Mayday! Mayday!” the radio replied. “Los Angeles is under attack! There are aliens everywhere, and they've mutated the LAPD. Is anyone there? We need help!--”. The transmission went silent.

"Great," Duke grumbled as his careening ship missed a skyscraper. "What's the problem with all these aliens attacking Earth anyway? How many alien races have to get their asses kicked?"
Duke slammed his fist into the waiting eject button.

"I guess one more."

So, this is an extensive mod of Star Beast by electricgryphon.
It adds ammo, music, and changes almost everything to be Duke Nukem themed.
What I have to say - just have fun! Because of Pico-8 limits the Doom-style original can't be recreated.

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!

tinytvjam jigsaw puzzle

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

merging

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
