This is some really good stuff, certainly worth a dig. It's the kind of thing I've been trying to get into with dynamic level generation, eventually. There's a lot of ways to apply these principles, too!

I was thinking the other day about how the remote lakes in the mountains near my house are stocked with fish by dropping them out of planes and helicopters. What a strange experience that must be for a fish! So I decided to make a little game about it.
So far there's no real goal, you just fly each fish into the lake and stock it up with happy, swimming fishes. I haven't decided yet whether I'll add a more concrete goal or keep it as is. Not totally happy with the helicopter sprite yet, either.

As a spinoff to TTF fonts by @RythmLynx, I created some bitmap fonts (in various typefaces) because I could map them to both OEM and Windows 1252 (which also includes ISO 8859-1) for use in text editors. I have FON font files for only Windows right now (until someone converts them to the Linux types and tests them).
UPDATE: DejaVu TrueType fonts have been added to the collection.
Screenshot of the same p8 file open in Sublime Text, Notepad++, and PICO-8.

Greetings,
I just bought PICO-8 last night and installed it in retro-pie and I am very happy with the results, however, I cannot seem to get the "right" direction on my USB controller (while working with everything else) seems to open a small menu instead of what I expect.
Its very odd and I haven't tried a new controller (yet) but as I say everything (including the retro-pie navigation) works perfectly when I use the right direction key. Even the PICO-8 navigation for right direction works, but all bets off once I am playing a game (its unusual).
Just for fun I setup the controller all over again but same results. Is there something in the PICO-8 menu (or something underneath) that I am missing? Thanks for any help. Is it possible this is happening because I am using the -spore option or something (because the menu it opens is to get back to the splore menu, etc..)
USB controller is a converted (I have had it for years) working NES controller to USB. Maybe I don't have enough buttons?

Rotating Spheres using just palette swapping, runs very fast! Just for fun, but maybe someone finds this technique useful :).
