This was a blast to make! I had one hour, from 2am to 2am when the daylight savings time change occurred. I managed to make the game in just under an hour. (I had, I think, 30 seconds left!)
The goal is to pick up all the orbs on the map in the time allotted. I'll be adding to this game from here, but it's a game! It has a win condition and lose condition.
Enjoy!

This is the final version of the below. In addition to all known bugfixes, (particularly a nasty one that had S and Z movement completely messed up), a new "Hidden" mode was added. Simply hold down X and Up when you start a game to access it. (Keep in mind, it is extremely difficult compared to the main game.)
The game can also now be lost! It boots you back to the title screen instantly when you do, but it shows you your grade.
1.0 Initial Release
1.0b Bugfix - Ranks S1-S9 were displaying incorrectly.
1.1 Changed - Floorkicks improved.
1.1 Changed - Hidden mode made easier on the eyes, and easier in terms of gameplay too.
1.1 Bugfix - Pieces no longer break the laws of physics and floorkick in mid-air.

After some googling, I figured out how to fix the sound for PICO-8 games on iOS. I wrote a small demo in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/nucleartide/fix-pico8-ios-sound
It might be that this is obvious to anyone who's experimented with PICO-8 on mobile... but lemme know what you think!

The 10 Haunted Treasures of Halloween
It's midnight on Halloween, and there's a chill in the air. Choose your own adventure in this text game, navigating 4 areas to find the 10 haunted treasures of Halloween! But ... are you brave enough?
Code compression and a few big features were handled by Enargy. He's fantastic! Follow him on Twitter [ @enargy] and check out his games!

So I setup my PiTopSeed (Raspberry Pi Desktop solution) tonight and got the latest version of Pico-8 on it. I'm running into an issue with Pico-8 1.11B where after entering the editor, all the letter keys on my keyboard stop working. Function keys such as F1, Escape, Enter, Ctrl+Q to quick work just fine still. It all works initially, then after performing some actions, all the letter keys stop doing anything.
To Repro:
-Launch Pico-8
-See the keyboard working by just typing stuff in
-Press escape to enter the editor
-Press some keys in the code editor so you can see input is being taken
-Press Ctrl+F (to find)
-Press Enter
Now none of the letter or number keys input any data.
Link to my twitter showing me doing this:

Mac version seems to be ok. I imagine that this could be something to do with the CeedOS (which I think is just a custom Jessie build)

A few days back zep mentioned a 0.1.11c incoming. Did this land anywhere, maybe quietly for testing, or are we still only at 0.1.11b outside of zep's (slanted) walls?
(I really want those new date/time functions. :) I have a little project that I have to enter the current time on every time I run it, sigh.)

First of hello every one, its my first day with PICO 8.
My problem is that i try to select a sprite randomly but only between two sprite ids/variables but i cant seem to make it function. Im maybe just a bit too tired but would love some help thanks.
function _init() sidetopl = rnd(9) sidetopr = rnd(3) sidelowl = rnd(7) sidelowr = rnd(5) end function _update() if (sidetopl == 8 or 9) then else sidetopl = rnd(9) end if (sidetopr == 2 or 3) then else sidetopr = rnd(4) end if (sidelowl == 6 or 7) then else sidelowl = rnd(7) end if (sidelowr == 4 or 5) then else sidelowr = rnd(5) end end |

I'm making a cursor-based game.
I notice that when playing in the browser, the user's cursor is still shown.
But in the desktop, it's hidden.
Is there a way of detecting whether we're running in the browser or on the desktop? So I can decide whether to show a custom cursor or not?
(Or alternatively, is there a way of hiding the default hardware cursor when playing in browser?)

It's a platformer, a difficult one!
I made this in 3 days for my patrons as a Halloween gift, then took an extra day to polish it up and include some spooOOooky music by Tim Monks. Now it's available for everyone, hooray!
Good luck, little pumpkin!

- 2-Player Split Screen Action!
- Bread!
Following the events of 2016's genre-defining "Ryan Ward's Lunch-Out!!", this sequel doubles down on the "Nutritional Food Action" formula in a competition against a mysterious new challenger!
Play against a friend in/solve minor disputes with this 2-player game from joseph3000!
My 2nd game ever; I learned quite a bit from the first and had to get really creative with cramming all the ideas I had into this one! I am proud to say I successfully did all I set out to do, and I hope you enjoy it!

This is a remake of the old fishing minigame from Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, it's not precise in any way. I've used nothing but my naked eyes recreating this; along with some nostalgia. Growing up, this was probably one of my favorites for the Game Boy Pocket.
Code by me (@MakkesProjects).
Thanks to @gruber_music for the beautiful music and sfx!
Special thanks to @kometbomb for the simple fade tool!
Nintendo owns all the original sprites and music, this is merely a recreation.
Enjoy.

Has anyone successfully changed the app icon for Windows binary exports?
By default, the cartridge label is used as an icon. To specificy an icon from the sprite sheet, use -i and optionally -s to control the size. For example, to use a 2x2 sprite starting at index 32 in the spritesheet: |
I tried those flags as documented but it doesn't seem to change. Even without trying to use something from the spritesheet, the icon doesn't use the label or anything - it's just the Pico-8 logo.
Not end of the world if it's not working...just trying it out. Maybe a .11 bug? Dunno...

I really adore the code tabs in 1.1.11!
My biggest project limiter in Pico8 has generally not been token limit, but how much code I can have in the editor before I start getting really lost (plus I have polish ADD- I can't scroll past old code without wanting to clean it more!)
I also feel much more free to copy in polished systems from other projects, like a really detailed / powerful / optimized Vector2 set I was working on, or a clean animation system that lets me really shrink the size of player code.
However, I've found the ctrl+tab hotkey to cycle through code tabs inefficient with my workflow (fingers on homerow, I use my pinkey for both the ctrl and tab key; and also you can only cycle forward)
Would it be possible to get an additional hotkey for CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT (or, if that's implausible, something like CTRL+[ and CTRL+] ) to cycle through code tabs? It's a minor polish thing, and I'd add it myself if there were custom in editor hotkeys, but it would be super helpful.

I've just finished my FC jam #2 game, The bindings of Isaac demake.
Because pico-8 bbs, doesn't support multi-carting, you will have to check it out here.
I've learned a lot about procgen, first time faced the token limit, and I plan to write devlog about it soon.
It's not a complete, balanced, full of content game, because of pico-8 token limit and time limit.
It's still a pretty fun game with 7 bosses.
Controls
X - Use active item
Z/C - Fire a tear
Tab - Toggle stats display
Q - Place a bomb
