The 2018 P8 Awards are over!
The winners are announced in the cart and listed below.
Controls:
- Left/Right to change award
- (O) to reveal winners (hold to slowly cycle through carts)
- Up/Down to change selected cart
- (X) to load selected cart
- Hide All in the pause menu to reset the winner reveals
These are an (unofficial) set of awards, similar to the Steam Awards, designed to celebrate PICO-8 carts.
The community nominated carts over the course of December, and voted on them over the course of January.
[b]CLARIFICATION: For this set of awards, any existing cart could be nominated, no matter how old. As no PICO-8 awards events have been done before, it didn't seem fair to exclude any carts on the basis of age.

The gods are angry. The mountain has awoken. You are a human sacrifice, and your mission is to travel to the mountain and throw yourself into its volcanic crater. Success will mean your death, but if you fail, your tribe is surely doomed...
Created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 43. Original Compo version is at the bottom of the page.
UPDATE [03/01/2019]: Implemented all the post-jam fixes and improvements from the Newgrounds version. I've been alerted to another bug that needs fixing but that'll have to wait for now.

The BBS' player seems a little unstable since the update, some carts are hanging in both Firefox (63.0.3 / 64bit) & Chrome (70.0.3538.110, 64 bit) for me at least.
Here's a couple of examples:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=32380 - posted after the update (and electricgryphon also is having the same issue)
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=16351 - old cart that used to run ok
These both work fine in the PC application.
I'm not sure it's directly related to high CPU use - for example, if I move the camera inside the models in this cart to force > 100% cpu, I don't get hangs: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=46687

It’s your big break as an energy mule, but be careful, the world’s ending.
Instructions
Use the arrow keys to move. Break open energy crates to attach their contents to your ship, and transport the energy balls to the green markers. The further you transport an energy ball the more you'll be paid.

You’re the Spirit of the stones and have to collect (and sacrifice) them.
Will you find the path ?
Could you resolve the gods challenge?
Is 1min16 is enough for you to succeed ?
This my compo for LD-43 : 'Sacrifices must be made'

So I've been developing in PICO-8 for a little bit now, but I've just now been trying to download it on my Windows 10 PC. I'm having a problem though. I keep running the installer and everything looks fine, but then when I run the program it deletes the executable file.
Any ideas?

while exploring an internet hole the other day i began reading about chromadepth glasses. It got me thinking about being able to get "pop out 3d" effect in pico8 and voxatron without needing to do any kind of Anaglyph effect by only using the colors at the proper "depths" as described below
their description:
"The ChromaDepth glasses create striking 3D images from normal 2D images by pulling forward the color red to the foreground and sorting the remaining colors according to their position in the rainbow. ROY G BIV! (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet). The ChromaDepth process encourages fantastic 3D illusions without compromising the quality of the image when viewed without the glasses."
i can personally vouch that these work even with glasses because a few smoke shops ive been to sell them with giant fabric wall scrolls
Chromadepth Glasses if anyone is interested
i think crayola used these around 8 years ago

Using Chrome on Android (on a Pixel 2 so this is the latest version of OS and browser) when I hold down a button (including d-pad buttons) on the mobile web button overlay (in fullscreen mode), it now causes a vibration as if I am selecting text on the page. I'm guessing it thinks it is selecting some invisible text in the overlay or something...there is no visual indication of text highlight. I can definitely say this did not happen on the previous version of the BBS.
Sorry for all the bug reports, lol. I hope the info helps :D

It's the Pico-8 Advent Calendar for 2018!
This is the main menu for a collaboration organized by Bigaston.
Come back on each day from the 1st to the 25th of December for twenty-five different surprises, each made by a different developer! This menu cartridge will link to all of the games as they are released, though the individual cartridges will also have their own threads.

Hungry Harry is back! Help Harry as he travels around the world putting a stop to the mushroom gang!
HOW TO PLAY:
Walk - arrow keys
Jump - Z or C
Lick things - X
High Jump - jump while licking
Long Jump - jump while licking AND holding a direction.
GOAL: Find the portal at the end of each level. Harry will get hungry over time, so make sure to eat enemy mushrooms as well as berries you find sitting around the levels.
TIPS:
Blue mushrooms are tough and can't be licked normally. If you eat a spicy pepper, Harry will turn red-hot for a few seconds. Use this time to eat the blue mushrooms.
If you lick while in the air, Harry can get a little extra boost. By licking on the ground and then jumping soon after, Harry can jump extra high or extra far, depending on whether or not you are holding a direction key down.

A couple days ago, I uploaded an unlisted cart (with an all lowercase alphabetic ID). Today I tried to update that unlisted cart, and it tells me:
Upload successful! Tag for this version is: [# sillytree-#] |
(I've replaced my real cart ID with "sillytree" because the real one is still super secret :p and also put a space after the first "#" so that the BBS doesn't try to display it as a cart)
There is no number after the hyphen there (the current version is "-0" so I would expect a "-1" now) and when I go to the cart's info page, it still says there is only 1 version. And if I try going to /cart_info.php?cid=sillytree-1 it says that does not exist.

WIth the previous version of the BBS, I almost never got logged out. With this version, it seems like every time I visit, I have to log back in. A couple days ago I was even sometimes getting logged out just clicking around to different pages.
Is this short login session time by design?

Hello!
I'm learning Pico8 and programming in general, so I'm trying some very very simple things.
I've made a triangle using lines, and using the arrow keys I can move one of the vertices of the triangle.
How can I make it so if I push button5 the arrow keys stop moving that vertex and start moving the second one, press again and changes to the third one and finally press again and changes to the first.
Thank you so much!
So far this is the code I have:
function _init()
x1=100
y1=20
x2=40
y2=40
x3=60
y3=60
c=7
end
function _update60()
cls(1)
if btn(0) then
x1-=1
end
if btn(1) then
x1+=1
end
if btn(2) then
y1-=1
end
if btn(3) then
y1+=1
end
end
function _draw()
line(x1,y1,x2,y2,c)
line(x2,y2,x3,y3,c)
line(x3,y3,x1,y1,c)
end
