A medieval, European noble names generator
Just my little sunday production. Names generated will sound authentic but are not actual persons.
Includes : Anglo-saxon, French, Germanic, Spanish, Italian and Polish-Lithuanian (credit arian09_01) cultures.
Feel free to reuse the code to save time making your RPG or (grand?) strategy game.

Added a lot to the game, including multiple levels, a second tileset, larger maps, and a prep screen. Next I'll (finally) add enemy AI, and a few story bits.
I started playing Fire Emblem Heroes and have become hooked on the game's simple yet addictive gameplay. So naturally I tried turning it into a pico 8 cart.
This was also a great opportunity to test saving sprites as data strings, and converting them in real time to increase the number of sprites I can have in the game.
This is still very much a work in progress, so let me know what you think of it so far.

1.03 changes block switching behavior so that switching from an active but ill-fitting block will stow the intersecting blocks beneath instead of the active block.
1.02 update offers modest difficulty relief via visual indication of enclosed spaces which aren't sized to fit blocks.

Robot Uprising is a Tower Defense style strategy game. Protect the last human base from the attacking robots by placing ground traps or weapon towers.
Accrue metal by destroying robots, or using Metal ground traps. Metal is precious, spend it wisely on your defences... or be personally responsible for the extinction of the human race.
This is a work in progress. Currently the first 8 levels are designed. Another enemy robot type, and hopefully a few
Update:
- when you die, you continue from the current level rather than having to restart from the beginning.

better late than never! ;)
I was unhappy with it at the time, but it seems I mostly fixed it eventually :)
(update: fixed score saving, paddle beep, added (x) to turn the machine on/off)

NOT A GAME
Algorithmic Botanic, showing how the sunflower florets sprout. It's called the Phyllotaxis.
Press Left and Right to change the florets' size, Up and Down to mess around with the algorithm. It's a really beautiful thing.
When the algorithm is the "right" one, an exclamation mark show up at the top.

Hey everybody! I'm new to Pico-8 dev, so for a quick project to learn the ropes I threw together a class that lets you program your button-based logic with an event handler, rather than by polling. It probably sucks because it could potentially do a lot of polling, and I used a closure instead of setmetadata to implement the OO (I'm new to both Pico-8 and Lua) but I figured I'd throw it up here in case it could benefit someone.
Here are the features:
- Notifies on button pressed, passing the button number and player number
- Notifies on button released, passing the button number, player number, and total frames the button was pressed
- Can retrieve the current number of frames a button has been pressed at any time
- Number of players can be specified on instantiation, so that only buttons for valid players are polled

Hi all, I've published the first installment of my visual novel "My Guild Leader Is A Demon", which has a soundtrack made mostly in the Pico-8 tracker (a few bits are NES chiptunes I had made before I began this project). You can download the executable for Win/Lin/Mac or watch it as a youtube video: https://0xabad1dea.itch.io/mgliad1
I have the .p8's (and some others I've done) stored at https://github.com/0xabad1dea/0xabad1dea.github.com/tree/master/pico8 if you want to play/inspect them, however, please note that only "tutorial", "raindrops", "castleruins" and "wistful" are allowed to be reused/remixed under cc attribution.

Hi!
I am getting this problem on my linux machine since version 0.1.5, but I've been working on my windows machine only for some time so it didn't annoy me to the point of complaining about it. Now the only machine I have runs linux Red Hat 6 and every since I can't run it. Here is the error I get:
./pico8: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./pico8) ./pico8: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./pico8) |
Is there something I missed? Some configuration or lib I should get?
I am totally lost here...

My first (somewhat) functional game in Pico 8. It's just that squashy game from the tutorial except you have to get to 100 to win. Gotta start somewhere right?
Anyway if anyone has any resources for learning to code in Lua in regards to Pico 8 it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

A basic implementation of Conway's Game of Life. A zero player game which simulates the life of a cell with very basic rules.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by underpopulation.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

just a little game I came up with. should be suitable for children :)
updated: a few nitpicks
edit: "Meow Mix" music converted thanks to kittenm4ster! too good not to be true ;)

This a simple application of the flood fill recursive algorithm.
As having a table (2D array) to keep the pixels of the screen in memory is slow and pico-8 is out of memory pretty quickly, all the pixels manipulations are done through read/write of the screen ram and the user ram.

Hi guys, I'm working on a tabletop style game and using mset to make tile variations for each different levels (like how you place doors and rocks in games like heroquest). What I would like to do is to be able to reload the map data from the cartridge rom (ideally without iterating through the map and undoing my mset changes).
I've tried to make a very small example below. I am setting the top left orange square through an mset call in _init. I would like to be able to call something that re-reads the map data from the cartridge rom so I can undo in-memory mset changes.
Hope someone can help :)

This is a collab of Neko250's Poly Spiral and a remake of the song We Are Number One - Lazy Town covered by DMP. I tweaked the spiral slightly by adding changing colors.

I was tired of navigating through all my code in a single file, so I made a simple tool for building carts code from multiple smaller files.
Nothing fancy as of now, but I hope it can save some people some time.
