I see in the manual that Qubicle file format is supported for importing models, but I use MagicaVoxel on my computer and Particubes on my iPad, which use the same .vox format. (Spec: https://github.com/ephtracy/voxel-model/blob/master/MagicaVoxel-file-format-vox.txt)

Inspired by an idea from JW of Vlambeer, I built this dungeon generator.
In short it adds a bunch of rooms on top of each other and then moves them randomly around until they don't fit any longer. Usually this makes for some very nice and organic looking scenes. This version also has a bunch of other parameters like wider door ways, interconnectedness, and decoration among others. The example in this thread randomises these parameters but in the code it is fairly easy to set them up to whatever.
I've tried to document it to a degree, so hopefully it can help out if someone wants to dive into my implementation. It should be said though that I primarily wanted to visualise the process and to look nice, not necessarily be the most efficient data structure. ;)

A starfield effect, inspired by the old Windows screensaver, though the style is more in line with Star Trek. Use up and down to increase and decrease speed, and press X to show stats.
I used nucleartide's Pico-8 snippets, specifically vec3 and pline(), to do the 3D projection. I was encouraged by reinvdwoerd's Perspective Lines and used his cartridge to figure out how to use pline().
To really get immersed, shout "increase speed to [warp number]!" as you hold the up key or "all stop!" as you slow down to zero.

Dodge is a fast paced reflex game. There is no end, you just have to survive the longest possible. Enemies move towards you and it's game over if they touch you, but they explode and give you a point if they touch each other.
There is a powerup (the ball with fire particles) that you can touch to destroy all enemies that are currently on the screen.
This game is still WIP and will be updated regularly. There will be music, better sound effects, updated graphics, and maybe even some more gameplay elements depending how far we want to go with it.

This is a short puzzle game based off of another puzzle game I saw, SPAB. The player's inputs affect the world as well as the character. I came up with some messy ways to make it work and would redo a lot of it if I made a more complete version.
If I do expand on this idea I see two ways to with it. Either a sort of action-puzzle game with fighting enemies and smoother movement, or a more complex puzzle game with much more responding environmental parts and maybe more rigid movement.

Hey all,
A slightly annoying bit of Lua syntax is how verbose the anonymous function syntax is.
For example consider a function filter function that accepts an array and a test function that accepts a single element and returns true or false if the element should be kept. The filter function would then return an array of all elements for which the test function returns true.
function filter(array, test_fn)
local ret = {}
for elem in all(array) do
if (test_fn(elem)) add(ret, elem)
end
return ret
end |
So yeah a pretty straight forward functional programming paradigm that's easy to use and awesome.
It is especially convenient to use with anonymous functions where your test function need not be defined anywhere and can instead be defined inline with the function call. Here's an example that would filter an array to only even numbered elements:
filter({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, function(v) return v%2==0 end) -- result: {2,4,6,8}

HACK*MATCH
Screenshots
About
HACK*MATCH is a mini-game in EXAPUNKS, a programming puzzle game by Zachtronics. When I first played the mini-game I loved it, and thought that it would work really well on PICO-8. This is my own version of the mini-game with some slight modifications.
How to play
The goal is to connect 4 or more of the same coloured piece. There are two ways you can do this, by either picking pieces up and putting them down in a different location, or by swapping two pieces, either the two above you, or the one you're holding and the one above you. The game takes some getting used to so it might take a few rounds before you're comfortable with the controls.

Zeldamos is a Zelda-esque Engine similar in style to the GameBoy titles.
I will be updating this throughout to hopefully make an example dungeon with combat, puzzles, and a boss.
v1.0 --
- 8-Way Movement
- Screen Transitions

At the beginning of the year I started using PICO-8 when I found out that Celeste was born from such a simple concept.
The first thing I could discover using PICO is that you can export to html...
if you can use HTML you can visualize it directly on Android using a tool called WebView.
This is a step-by-step tutorial to use your PICO-8 cartridges on your Android phone, let's begin shall we?
What do we need:
- Android Studio(https://developer.android.com/studio/).
- Your PICO-8 html cartridge (html and js).
Now we need to understand what we are going to do:
1) create an application on Android (the classic helloworld: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/).
2) Add the WebView tool to your app (https://jgvcodigo.blogspot.com/2017/12/webview-android.html).
3) Add the controls on the html file of your cartridge.
You can use the following template and call your .js file:

A retro platformer where Pip, the tiny birb, must collect feathers to get strong enough to return to their nest and finish their nap.
Z/C to jump and airjump
X/V to short hop (on ground) and dive (in air)
Current version: 1.3, patch notes farther down in thread

Hello, I saw in the new changelog that Voxatron can now run Pico 8 cartridge , I tried it on my version , but didn't find any "pico 8" section , I tried opening a .p8.png in the designer , but it just crashed the console. This feature really hyped me , so I'll be more than happy to try it , thanks to anyone who read me.

updated: added ricochets / music / music toggle / screenshake toggle. use the 'return menu' to access the options.
z=shoot
x=jump
l/r=move left/right
get a high score! ammo is limited so be sure to retrieve your shots. chain together multiple kills with 1 bullet for score multipliers, and ricochet bullets off walls for bonuses.
some tips:
- bullets take on the left/right momentum of the player, so use that to line up shots!
- jumping can help you launch bullets higher!
- when bullets hit an enemy, their direction/travel speed is affected by the enemy movement. i.e a fast enemy moving left will knock the bullet left by a moderate amount and halt its upward momentum significantly.

Save small town Ozark!
Play as ArgentBot v2.02, an old rusty excavation automaton who's the only hope for the small rural town of Ozark!
After Harold Pechengsky vanished deep underground, the town's last few residents jumped ship. Now Ozark is in danger of collapse! Dig deeper and deeper and bring back riches to rescue Harold and save the town! Buy, sell, recharge, and repair your way to mineral mastery!
Inspired by Schulles' "Utopian Mining". Play it on Armor Games!
Quick Guide
Energy-
Without energy, you can't mine and harvest minerals! Make sure to recharge often at the power plant.
The deeper you go, the more energy it takes to mine, so make sure to upgrade your battery consistently.

Hey, everyone! I'm a hobbyist developer who finds the concept of a "fantasy console" pretty interesting, so I made a little demo based on this game I made for a programming competition for CodeWalrus, which I also remade into an Atari 2600 game. I hope it looks and plays alright!
