This game was made by me and my collegaues: Ilya Aleksandrov and Ilya Koplevsky for a quick 5-day jam - the Black Humor Jam at itch.io
We've worked together for a few years, yet this is our first attempt to work as a gamedev team.

 map(level*8,0,0,0,8,15,0)
 for i=1,8,1
  do
  map(level*8+8-i,0,56+i*8,0,1,15)
  end

First I want to say Pico-8 is a lot of fun and I was able to get into it quickly despite barely any knowledge of LUA.

So I got the idea to only draw half a level and mirror it to be symmetrical, however collision detection doesn't seem to work on the right side. I can post more if anyone needs more information, but I've included a GIF showing the issue and the code I used to generate the map.

Match the sin wave and press X to score. Don't touch the robots! If they start giving you too much trouble, drop them a doughnut to chase after.

If you make it to level 4, the special gold robots chase after you!

Hi, everyone. I made a very simplistic scene manager for you all to use, its somewhat compressed as well. here's an example:

scenemanager_sample

by ShootingStar

Cart #scenemanager_sample-0 | 2019-02-03 | Code ▽ | Embed ▽ | No License

Basically, this scene manager allows you to create init, update and draw for each scene (as well as anything else you want to cook up, of course).

HOW TO USE
to make a new scene, use the command 'nscn' inside of your init function. for example: nscn({init=function() end, update=function() end, draw=function() end})

to grab the current scene thats running so you can modify it or its variables, you can simply create a local variable called 'self'.

local this=scn['self']()

I am interested in the future making a game (not even sure if it would be in Unity, Game Maker, Godot, or something else) and having some dusty arcade cabinet that you find - and it has a Pico-8 arcade game on it!

I am wondering how feasible it is for the Pico-8 game to be embedded and how well the game canvas could be moved around and positioned, incorporated into the game, to look like it's in a cabinet, etc., or if it's even possible at all.

its gonna be a race

update:I added more sattelites and a cow (very productive I know).
Still thinking about the gameplay, I think I am going to make them be able to bump into eachother and collide with astroids and maybe sattelites aswell. and when they eventually get to the moon. maybe do a moonlander mini-game or something.

Not sure if this is expected behavior, but it seems that if a monster is a room goal, setting the "infinite death" flag will not respawn them when you re-enter the room.

Hi all,

I'm writing a short graphical text adventure for the PICO-8, and a few weeks ago I determined that I needed a vector graphics editor capable of outputting PICO-8 code. I've created a web app called GMagic that lets you make vector drawings on a canvas, then export Lua functions for drawing them. I also provide the functions for drawing polygons and polylines:

ptstr() (needed for the functions):

function ptstr(s)
	local data={}
	local wip=''
	for i=1,#s do
		r=sub(s,i,i)
		if(r==',') then
			add(data,wip+0)
			wip=''
		else
			wip=wip..r
		end
	end
	add(data,wip+0)
	return data
end

Polygon:

function poly(r,c,p)
	local t=ptstr(r)
	--based off alienryderflex.com/polygon_fill
	--t=table x1,y1,x2,y2...
	--c=colors (hex)
	--p=pattern
	local pc=#t/2
	local px={}
	local py={}
	local my=127--miny
	local xy=0  --maxy
	--split out xy lookups
	for i=1,#t-1,2 do
		add(px,t[i])
		add(py,t[i+1])
		if(t[i+1]<my) my=t[i+1]
		if(t[i+1]>xy) xy=t[i+1]
		if(i<#t-2) then
			if(p) fillp(p)
			line(t[i],t[i+1],t[i+2],t[i+3],c)
			fillp()
			--yield()
		end
	end
	--scan down the screen
	for y=my,xy do
		local nx={}
		--build a list of nodes
 	local n=0
 	local j=pc
 	for i=1,pc do
 		if((py[i]<y and py[j]>=y)
 			or(py[j]<y and py[i]>=y)) then
 			add(nx,(px[i]+(y-py[i])/(py[j]-py[i])*(px[j]-px[i])))
 		end
 		j=i
 	end
 	--bubblesort nodes
 	local k=1
 	while(k<#nx) do
 		if(nx[k]>nx[k+1]) then
 			nx[k],nx[k+1]=nx[k+1],nx[k]
 			if(k>1) then
 				k-=1
 			end
 		else
 			k+=1
 		end
 	end
 	--fill the pixels
 	for l=1,#nx-1,2 do
 		local d=nx[l]
 		local e=nx[l+1]
 		if(d>=127) break
 		if(e>0) then
 			if(d<0) d=0
 			if(e>127) e=127
 			if(p) fillp(p)
 			line(d,y,e,y,c)
 			fillp()
 		end
 	end
 end
 --yield()
end

The game is a work in progress, but is mechanically complete. Just adding levels and polish at this point.

EDIT: I've got 6 levels so far. I'm going for maybe 10-15, and then I want to add some more SFX and music.
