All over the kingdom the Lich King is feared
His power and evil is total
Many have tried to destroy him
Many have failed
Will you?
Z (or C or N) to attack, X (or V or M) to jump, arrow keys to move
I made this game for the CGA-jam, so only 4 colours was allowed. It's by far my most polished PICO-8 game, and I think the colour restriction actually helped!
I used @mhughson's excellent Advanced Micro Platformer basecode and extended it to fit my needs. Would definitely recommend having a look if you're making a platformer.
Comments appreciated!

Hi folks,
I made a desktop file that goes into the applications folder of your pi.
It will place pico-8 in the applications menu on your desktop undo applications and development!
cd /usr/share/raspi-ui-overrides/applications sudo leafpad pico-8.desktop |
File: pico-8.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.1.10C Name=Pico-8 Comment=PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other computer programs.

FYI: <install directory> is in my case /home/pi/pico-8

Hey!
I've started working on a personal project to make some interesting visual cartridges and until now I've only been tinkering with rectangles, individual pixels and stuff like that, so I thought I'd give it a try and make some sprite-based visuals. I'm too bad at pixel art sadly :\
I hope this didn't turn out too bad, let me know!
Obviously I'm still a beginner, I haven't even been lurking a lot so I still don't know the best tricks, the cart takes a lot of tokens and it isn't optimized at all but I thought I'd share anyway.
Press left/right to change direction.

Lots to be done but pleased with my first attempt at platformer physics and collision.
Next to work on will be enemy ai and sword attack collision.

This is a simple demonstration of shader-like iterative code that runs basically CPU bound.
It does a manual flip() and copies colors downwards. Press TAB to see how it's generating the image.

A simple demake of that classic After Dark screensaver as my first PICO-8 project
Controls: none, just chillback & zen

Ran out of tokens, I will call it a day :) It's rather short, but it should be somewhat original and challenging I hope :)
Started this for CGA Jam 2017 but was (as always) too late and spend way more time
I'm most happy with the blood particles and fighting mechanics :P
Includes code from basic platformer kit by mhughson.

An odd game about texting.
You can choose when it ends...
How far are you willing to go?
CONTROLS:
Z/C: Look at Phone; Send Message
X: Put Phone Away; Go to Sleep (Hold)
Arrow Keys: Choose Message
(All controls are explained in-game)
WARNINGS:
- This game touches on some darker subjects, which people may be sensitive to.
- This game includes some dialogue which is arguably like cyberbullying.
- This game is about dialogue, so be prepared to read. The script contains nearly 350 individual texts, though there's no way to see each one in a single playthrough.
OTHER NOTES:
This is a companion game to my surreal adventure game NULL.

Update 0.4: fixed a bug that would cause bad behavior when changing the loop duration.
Update: Added more functions, including critically damped spring and cosine interpolation. Also added the "kaneda" easing function visualization for fun :-). Also removed even more code so its even easier to see how it all works and add your own functions.
PRs welcome!

My first (actual) game! I learned a lot from this tutorial before I just started figuring it out myself: https://ztiromoritz.github.io/pico-8-shooter/
Press x to shoot. Press z to clear all enemies in a wave with a bomb. Use the arrow keys to move.
Progress by clearing waves of aliens. The aliens's speed and number of rows increase as more waves are cleared.
TIPS: Don't worry about getting all of them in one go, they wrap back to the top of the screen.
Bombs are gained every 5 waves.
*Updated to fix an issue with a sprite incorrectly being used as a star. Improved the title text.

I have a several 8x8 boxes on the screen.
I have a line from a/b to c/d.
I need to find out the line intersects with the boxes.
How I'm doing that right now is by using some line intersection formula I found to check if the line passes through each segment side of each box. So for each box, checking 4 sides for intersection. This works but I'm finding it's dreadfully inefficient once you get many boxes on the screen.
Hoping someone has a snippet or can at least point me in a direction of what to explore.
I've done a little searching and see something about Bresenham's algorithm but I don't have the brain power to translate it into Pico-8 in a manner that spits out a true/false for a given 8x8 box.
Currently, I'm checking each box, which could be up to 100 or more. I'd like to think there's a way to avoid having to loop through all 100 and compare, but maybe not.
Any help is appreciated.
