(Hoping to catch you before you finalize 0.1.12)
Similar to how I felt ceil() was missing from the fundamental math toolset in PICO-8, I feel like there are a couple of fundamentals missing from the table toolset.
Would it be reasonable to add these to the built-in table operators?
function ins(table, index, elem)
local temp = elem
while temp ~= nil do
table[index],temp = temp,table[index]
index = index + 1
end
return elem
end
function pop(table)
local elem = table[#table]
table[#table] = nil
return elem
end
-- (and possibly this alias, just for the sake of being symmetrical with pop)
push = add

Hello, I did post this up at the end of 2017, but decided to remove it partly due to imposter syndrome and partly because it just didn't work too well under iOS.
Anyway, I've had a change of heart and have decided to put this up again.
Thanks to Vanja and Andreas of Pond software for allowing me to make and share this Pico-8 interpretation of their 8-bit C64 game. (Find it here: http://http://pondsoft.uk/splorf.html )
Also, a special mention must go to Paul Nicholas ( @Liquidream), who helped me solve some nasty bugs, Chris Donnelly (@gruber_music) for the awesome music/sound, Morgan McGuire (@casualeffects) who supplied me with some great particle code to play with. Also Justin Ray (@designinvan) and Urban Monk.
I hope some of you enjoy this simple little highscore chaser game.
CONTROLS:
X - to thrust or start game.
Z - for credits, story and info. (on title screen).
That's it.
Cheers,
Roy

This is a little game that I made with my son (I did most of the code, he did a bunch of playtesting ;-) ). It was inspired by a game that I remember from my own childhood on the Atari 800 XL where you had to fly a spaceship around and dodge the space junk. If you survived for long enough, you got a brief reprieve while the next "level" started before the junk started flying at you again!

Hello friends.
I have one music track in my game. When the player picks up a certain item, I would like the music to get one octave higher.
My first thought was to have a second song that is just a transposed version of the first song, and switch to it upon item pickup -- but this of course resets to the beginning of the song instead of continuing smoothly from the current position. Is there any clever way to achieve a more seamless transition?
I'm open to any other tricks that would let me get the same effect. I'm also open to forgetting all about it if it's not possible. =P

UPDATE: Version 1.1:
- faster ship
- constant enemy spawns (no delays)
- muzzle flash effect and better explosions
- other gameplay tweaks
STORY: Welcome, Pilot 8. You are our top choice for this mission. I mean, 8th choice. Nothing suspicious at all happened to the other 7 pilots that came before you. They... uh... retired. Anyway, here is your comprehensive battle training: use the arrows to move, press [Z] to shoot. End of comprehensive training. Off to war you go. Good luck, Pilot 8.... Ok, that pilot is hopeless, let's start training Pilot 9. Oh, what? It's still on? How do I turn this off <click>
This is a simple space shooter.
- 18 levels across 6 worlds (Flood City, Oasis, Marshes, Coast, Canals, Fortress)
- Different weapons and powerups (shield, weapons, etc).
- Collect chips dropped by enemies to upgrade your ship. 14 upgrades available:
- extra speed
- rapid fire (3 levels)
- ammo capacity (3 levels)
- shield (3 levels)
- starting laser
- powerup frequency
- World map
Tech aspects:
- Dynamic lighting (via framebuffer post-processing).
- Screen-space reflection (water effect, lightning, etc).
- Particle effects, rain, etc.

is there any way to receive keyboard inputs like a simple program where user types anything to the program and program will display it.

Less is more!
Here's a low resolution version of my Bumble Bots game. Fewer pixels, but a better game.
When porting the game to Gamebuino I had to reduce the resolution. Doing so forced me to remove some screen clutter as every pixel counts at 80x64. Also, I had to zoom into the levels. On the one hand, this made the game play slightly harder, as you cannot always see all enemies. On the other hand, it made the game play more immersive. In the original game, more than half of screen was black pixels. I actually like the game better at the lower resolution, so decided to revamp the original PICO-8 version. This is the result.

Hey,
I’ve had a search and I couldn’t find another topic on this, but could be wrong.
I’ve seen quite a few examples of animation, for say a player sprite, and have achieved this in a project I’m working on.
However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this with larger then 8x8 sprites. I know how to get static ones, but no idea how to animate these larger sprites.
Thanks for any help, and sorry if that makes no sense, I’m awful at explaning!
