As many of you may be aware, you can indeed load and save 256-bytes of data broken down to a storage of 64-numbers using conventional method commands of CARTDATA(), DSET(), and DGET().

However, if you want more than this, you will have to use unconventional method commands of CSTORE and RELOAD.

What follows is a sample program I wrote to demonstrate writing 8-bytes to an external file and reading it back again. You can actually load and save up to 🔺8192-bytes of storage this way so it is not to be overlooked !

Definition and instructions are below:

this fairly complex program
will load data from an external
binary file and display the
results.

after this, with the mode set
to zero (0), it will save the
select text to the select
external file so the next time
you run, you will be able to
confirm it is loaded correctly.

note !
this will not work as a true
compiled exe or if you are
attempting to run it directly
from splore.

you must save this .p8 to your
local hard-drive and execute it
-or- run it from an internet
online page.

if you have any questions or
comments, please let me know!

No, not that kind. The one that's a useful routine that helps with printing your text That's right:

PRINTS CHARMING.

A bit less inspired than the last ones, but I am trying to not leave any WIPs unfinished. Besides, drawing spirals is always cool.

In a more enlightened world, we will no longer need to restrict ourselves to paddles.

Press button 1 to "jump out" of the object that you're controlling. Press button 1 again to "jump in" to anything else green.

(08/23/18) CHANGED THE TOPIC TO "PICO-8: SUPPORT"

Was just trying out my Haunted House game as a Windows EXE. Although making high-score, it did not appear in the scoreboard. This is odd because score is kept when it's played either in HERE or as a raw HTML.

Here is the code:

if debug==0 then
  reload(8192,8192,180,"_hauntedhouse_dw817")
end 

if peek(8192)+peek(8193)==0 or peek(17152)==254 then
  str2mem(defhs,8192)
  cstore(8192,8192,180,"_hauntedhouse_dw817")
end

Can someone confirm this on their own games that save data ?

It certainly is convenient to be able to compile a PICO program into a Windows and Macintosh & Linux executable with the command:

export program.bin

To create an HTML you can use:

export program.html

I was wondering if someone who was HTML savvy could post the absolute minimal code for an HTML to play and display JUST the .JS at a level of 100% screen height and ability to modify the default width of 100% with anything like 125% for a slightly longer across screen.

No code desired for external buttons just in this simple window.

Also, are there input values to that HTML which let you keep sharp pixels, dithered, or to reproduce like an old television with scan-lines ?

To create the screen, apparently you need more than just this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="program.js"></script>

With the small size that PICO is, it should be possible to load and save state, much like you can do in a NES or SNES emulator.

In NESTOPIA you can even hold the backspace to run the game backwards, useful for getting out of a pit say in Super Mario Bros. But I think rewind may be just a bit more complex than save state.

If you're not familiar with what this is, by pressing F2 or F4 (you configure the keys) in the game, you can SAVE STATE.

By doing so, your game progress right up to there is saved to the pixel ! No need to save your game using a save-spot or even accessing menu options as part of the game.

Loading State is just as easy. You could shut down the game for instance, bring something else up, finally bring back up the original game and before the opening credits have even finished, you can press F4 or Load State and your game is returned exactly back where you left it.

Saving State in Pico means saving all variables, all memory, program line number being run, everything, to a binary file.

Loading State injects all that raw data right back in place again. As mentioned, this is very common in game emulators such as for Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Gameboy, and even Sony Pocket Playstation.

Naturally this would make platformers and other action games easier to play as you could SAVE STATE right at a part of the game where you knew you were safe.

What do you think - or do you think REWIND is possible as well ?

A few quick questions, mostly for sound.

[1] Can you play a SFX and have the ability to change the pitch of it before it plays ?

[2] Is there a way to COPY and PASTE SFX data from one PICO-8 app or Notepad to another ?

[3] When defining values for local variables, if you need to define more than one, it either requires 2-lines of code:

local a=1
local b=2

Or this unusual way:

local a,b=1,2

Is it possible someway to do it like this ?

local a=1,b=2

If you try this, you get an error.

If you try it this way:

local a=1 b=2

Then "b" value is set, but it is global.

Hey @zep, in case you see this:

If double pixel mode (0x5f2c) and devkit more are turned on, stat(32) and stat(33) values are correctly halved when running in PICO-8, so the mouse treats the screen as having a 64x64 resolution.

In the web player, however, pixel values are not halved and stat(32)/stat(33) treat the screen as 128x128.

My solution is to just manually divide stat(32) and stat(33) by 2 if stat(102)!=0, but this still seems like a bug.

Hello everyone,

I'm just wondering which of the handheld machines currently on the market are able to run Pico-8 and its games. I just saw that a couple of recent threads are already active about this topic (I'm referring to the ones about Gameshell and PocketCHIP) but I couldn't find any list.

Since I'm very interested in development for handheld consoles and I would like to start with something related to Pico-8, I'm asking you which are all of the known portable devices capable of running our fantasy console!

Thank you in advance for the answers :)

Hello ! It seems PICO-8 now has the ability to read the true keyboard, at least the normal keys, alphanumeric, ENTER, TAB, Backspace, and others.

So I thought I would post a working example of how to make use of this.

But does it have the ability to read raw keystrokes ? Where you can press an arrow key and the result is returned immediately - not requiring a delay as set by standard keyboard entries ?

Simple code sample. [EDIT]: I really liked how Astorek86 is doing their slope / ramps code. So I'm changing these over to use that method.

Here is a version with some simply physics:

Hey everybody!

I'm starting a PICO-8 indexing project called PICO-ATE (www.pico-ate.com). It's a resource dump site for templates and tutorials that might be too niche or specific for our wiki or Github pages. Right now we've got a template for creating printable PICO-8 game manuals, as well as a game tutorial by @misato and a Newgrounds Medal tutorial by @Bigaston.

I'd love to host any tutorials, templates or weird one-offs that any of you might have! If anybody is interested, either dump your link in this thread, or hit me up on Twitter (@platformalist) and I'll review the content!

This is my first game made with pico-8.
Let's experience unexpectedly busy Maxwell's daemon!

Controls
game start: X and O
open the door: X or O

Goal
separate quick particles and slow particles with the door as the borderline.

Gameover
time or life runs out.

Last stage is 3.
Try it.

Hello. Long time no write. I'm the author of a few curious programs for an ever-curious programming language, Pico-8:

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=32028

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=31518

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=30679

I just have one question.

Is it possible to convert PICO-8 to single .APK files for Androids and cellphones now ?

If so, I've got some new ideas for games and tools up my sleeve and would like to share them. :)

Simple little cart that tries to load random IDs from the BBS. Try something new. When you've had enough of a cart just select "new cart" from the pause menu. The number in brackets is the ID of the current post it has loaded.

Sadly though I'm seeing weird behaviour with that when I run through the BBS. It doesn't seem to display the correct number when you run this in browser, but it's correct when I run it locally. Sorry about that I have no idea what's going on there. But if you run it locally and want to find the thread the cart you're on is posted to just plug the number in here:

Wow! This took far longer than I thought. I had to cheese the cube movement a little bit. But I'm very proud of this gamecube animation logo -- the best one yet in the series, I believe! Very fluid, and very approximate to the truth. What're your thoughts? :)

Remove all 28 squares from the board in a neverending series of calm, randomized puzzles set in a dystopian, cyberpunk world.

Patrick’s Cyberpunk Challenge is fun for all ages. Are you ready for the challenge?

The object of the game is to move Patrick around the game board and remove all 28 squares. Squares with coloured balls will remove extra squares and can make the game trickier. The games are randomly generated, but you can also create your own games or input game codes made by others.

This is a fanmade sequel to the 1998 freeware sensation Patrick's Challenge II by Reldni Productions, for the Cyberpunk-themed "So bad it's good" Jam 2018.

The puzzle codes are compatible with Patrick's Challenge II. You can also go to Reldni's website to find more codes and play hand-crafted Reldni puzzles.

You currently have to use the devkit mouse to place the objects in the correct squares manually, but I hope to have proper gamepad support soon so you can type in the codes. I also plan to add support for saving puzzles, so you can make your own (limited) run of puzzles to get a high score in.
