I am so terribly sorry. I actually intended to demake Insaniquarium using this game kit as some form of sample game, but it ended up sitting on my computer for months.
Anyway, over said months, I probably forgot the actual state of this gamekit, but from what I remember:
- Allows players to take a break for at least 3 years before breaking.
- Provides a screen for entering date + time. With this info the game calculates the last time the player played the game. (You basically rely on the player not lying to you, because Pico8 doesn't expose the OS clock.)
- Unique feature where time is progressing slower while the game is running. /s
- No seriously, the clock isn't accurate while the game is running, but it should be somewhat accurately calculating the time since the last playtime.
- Lots of finicky floating errors and overflows to keep in mind with while setting up the numbers.
- Define your own "resources" (hunger, gold, joy, etc...) with their own min, max and starting values. As well as the tickrate and tickamount (negative or positive!)
- Uses cartdata
Obviously I welcome any and all optimizations. Actually... considering the token count I [i]should beg

Phew! It took a lot longer to get to work on it again than I'd liked, but here it is, the updated version of the prototype!
I added more tile colors, tried to get the blank tiles a bit pleasing to the eye, added more stars (like that's important), worked slightly on the sounds, and made drawing attach to the existing line when started on it.
The controls are, in case you missed the first version:
- Z (button 1) to switch between drawing and navigating
- X (button 2) to cancel current drawing
- Arrows to move the cursor
Tell me what you think!

Game for the Ludum Dare 39 -- Theme: Running out of Energy
The shy gladiator has to defeat three mythical creatures, but he is too embarrassed to attack,
so instead he must dodge their attacks until the monsters lose all their powers.
You can move left or right, and dodge with "Z". Dodge will give you a few invincibility frames, but also
take some hit points from you.
Can you defeat all three monsters?
Game by @caranha and @conanfelipe
TODO:
- Better title screen that actually explains the game;
- Better logic for the Cyclops, and calling out attacks;
- Balance the damage amounts better;

Please join me at https://www.twitch.tv/hearthmasta to watch me live stream PlayPico.com development tonight at 10:00 PM EST (2:00 AM UTC, or 20 minutes from the time of this posting)! Great music, great wine, learn web development and give me your feature requests and help me design and develop PlayPico for you!
Looking forward to seeing you there!

The two things I really wanted to get out of the way before learning anything more were object-like tables and collision detection.
Done and done with very little presentation.
64x64 graphics mode used. In part as practice as I'd like to help my brother with the Low Res Jam. In part, because it made a "larger" maze with less actual coding.
Now with basic sound and music, because why not.
Collision detection modified slightly from Pico-8 Fanzine issue 3, page 16.

Inspired by Dino Riki on the NES. Features Dan (an old friend of mine) netting bees. And screaming: BEEEEEEEES!

This is a slightly changed of the original made by me Sam (I made an account for my self).
The Original was made in a camp called Digital Monkey with help by Greg and Matt.
If you would like to use this weapon in your game, I highly recommend making your own music for the gun due to how much space the song in the gun takes, and there is a limit for uploading to voxatron.
Feel free to remix but please credit me.

At long last, the game is finally done!
Before you play: Dank Tomb is a pay-what-you-want title, which means that if you prefer to play it for free, it's perfectly okay to do so. But I'd really appreciate it a lot if you choose to pay for it through itch.io, or support my future work on Patreon! Supporters get bonus stuff as a thank-you from me: an expedition journal with additional story for Dank Tomb and access to unminified PICO-8 source code for the game ($5+).
Enjoy the game, and let me know what you think! A lot of blood, sweat, tears and elbow grease went into making this game, so I hope you'll have as much fun playing it as I had making it!

Hi all !
Is it possible to do something like that ?
try
object:foo(param)
else
print("object has no foo method")
end

Thanks ;)

PICO-8 uses the discrete GPU on mac laptops; this uses a lot of power on battery.
@zep, could PICO-8 use the integrated graphics instead of the discrete GPU?
I really hope this change is compatible with PICO-8, I would really like to use it on battery and still have decent battery life. PICO-8 seems lightweight otherwise.
THANK YOU!
Resources I found on this topic:
This is a link to how GLFW sets up an OpenGL context on the integrated GPU on macOS
https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/src/nsgl_context.m#L173
In SDL2, I added those two attributes used in the GLFW source to the NSOpenGLPixelFormat init call found in
"src/video/cocoa/SDL_cocoaopengl.m"
This caused all of the example apps in the Xcode "SDLTest" project in the SDL2 source code to use the integrated graphics, the attributes being: "NSOpenGLPFAAllowOfflineRenderers" and "kCGLPFASupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching"
Here is the partial change from the SDL source tree (missing adding attribute "kCGLPFASupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching"):

Using the arrow keys, push the fuel crates to the receptacles.
Press Z to reset the room.
A 24 hours project , stretching muscles and whatnot.
I can see potential for refining the project eventually.

Is there a way to drag-and-drop p8.png carts on to PICO-8 straight from the browser? If no, why not?

Hi,
Some keys usually used for entering notes behave strangely in the pattern editor. I'm using a french AZERTY keyboard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY), with pico-8 0.1.10c on Windows 7 64 bits.
- The upper 6/- key, used for upper G# note, also decreases current pattern. That means if you don't pay attention to what's happening on the screen, you wind up spreading G#s on multiple patterns.
- The ?/, key, right to N, used for lower B note, also decreases tempo
Unless you vow to never use those notes, it really makes composing a painful process.
