Hey all, I'm not sure how long account linking has been broken on PlayPico (it was just reported to me), but the feature has been restored. I apologize if you've previously tried to link your accounts and were unsuccessful.

Whereas in PICO-8 v0.1.11 it was possible to run a cart at 60 FPS and get a higher sampling frequency (than at 30 FPS) when querying the value of stat(26) (i.e. number of ticks played on current pattern), it seems that in v0.1.12 this behavior has been changed so that in 60 FPS the stat(26) value still only updates 30 times per second.
What led to my discovering this was that I thought I perceived a visual difference when using v0.1.12 to run part of my "Not A Creature Was Stirring" cart that uses stat(26) ticks as the input for some easing functions, so I created a standalone test cart and ran it in both v0.1.11 and v0.1.12 and it looks like the behavior has indeed changed.
Here's a test cart. Try changing the "_update60" function to "_update" and see that in v0.1.12 the average diff between sampled ticks (only counting when there is an actual change) is the same (roughly 5.59) either way. But if you run the same cart (I had to change the cart version to 16 to do this) in v0.1.11 you can see that in 60 FPS mode, the average diff between sampled ticks is roughly half (about 2.8), which is better for syncing things to music.

Play Ping against a bot or a friend!
I've seen a lot of pong clones here but there was always something about them that bothered me. So I made my own version, and now I can be bothered by myself.
Oh, and the AI is kind of a buzzkiller, but I guess I find that a little fun too.
I hope you enjoy!
And please, let me know if you find any bugs!
UPDATE LOGS:
V2.0:
- Better A.I.
- Fixed the perpetual ball thingy
- Minor bugfixes

I bought Pico-8 a while ago, and used it for a while until my hard drive died. After buying a new one, I wanted to reinstall the software. Unfortunately, I discovered it was not listed in my purchases. My issue is that I tried all my emails I've used to check if they are the ones with the purchase on it, and I don't have a lexaloffle account on any of them except this one. Is there any way to try to find out if there is an issue with my account, or do I need to buy the software again?

The horizontal bars emit particles, every few seconds each. When a particle reaches the top or the bottom of the screen, one energy point is lost. The emitors work also as filters: When a particle hits a horizontal bar, it's absorbed and +1 score is awarded. Try scoring as much as possible before the energy reaches 0 and the game is over. My personal record is slightly over 540.

I've noticed some inconsistent behavior when using FLR and when doing floating point math in general:
In particular:
- (9/10)x10 returns 9, but FLR((9/10)*10) returns 8.
- (8/10)*10 returns 7.9999. I suspect this bug is related to the FLR bug, as FLR(7.9999) correctly returns 7.
I suspect the problem is not related to string conversion / PRINT, as I was seeing these issues in other contexts as well.
Apologies if this has been reported before, I searched and didn't find it, but I'm new to Pico-8 so might not know where to look...
Thanks,
Eric

This is not another Space Invaders's clone but a twist!
You shoot clownvaders with cream pie...
they get hit by the pie in their faces and shoot blindly their ownn creampie in
a random direction.
If Clownvader's cream pie hit another clownvader you get +10 points and so on
this can be a fun chain reaction bonus!
Random clownvaders's shields are placed in. Shoot them 3 times and they fall down on you
and avoid them.
Enjoy!
2019-04-21 update: add demo gameplay in the attrack mode. (ARCADE!) :D
update 10-08-2019 improved demo gameplay in attract mode. Thanks to the if time()%1 timed random moves.
update 28-12-2019 fixed random moved on clownvader's pie.

Hello, PICO-8 community! I have just recently made an account and have made a few comments, and I wanted to say hello, as a (relatively) new user. I also might be (or have been) seen playing other games as "TheTepigMaster," "TheTepigMaster456," "TepigMaster," "Thomulous Weaver," "TheTepigMaster21," and "Damian Naimad." I love the engine and all the absolutely AMAZING work people have put into these games. I hope to someday, when I get a bit older, (And/or get my own bank account...) to get a copy of PICO-8 and/or Voxatron. Also, I hope you have a good weekend! I was going to use the Good Friday pun, but it's 12:07, and I should sleep. So, hi and bye, and let's all experience the creativity of others together!

Just got new update, I like the blue editor, but not the decreased sound quality (compared to old version). Is there any way to change it?

OS: Arch Linux
Browser: Chromium
The little pause/play button on the BBS player will pause and play the cart if you click it, but if you press the "enter" key on the dialogue to either continue or reset the cart, the pause/play button doesn't change (it should go back to the pause icon, but it remains as the play icon).
Here is a lil' cart to test it out real quick:

Operating System: Arch Linux.
In "config.txt" if
root_path ./ |
is set, then whenever you try to "cd" within PICO-8, you get a
cd failed |
error message. But if you change the root path to something other than "./", then PICO-8 works fine. It even works fine if you replace the "./" with a "../", which is a bit silly :D. It also works if you delete the "root_path" line.
Here is what the error message looks like:
:D.
EDIT: Ok, cd also doesn't work when you use the "-root_path ./" command-line parameter, but I guess that should have been common sense I guess.

On Linux, pressing Windows+R draws garbage on the screen and seems to run the cart twice at once. I haven't observed anything more serious resulting from this so far.

This game was created as part of a class where we learned about game programming. Though basic, it does illustrate several useful functions that assisted me in learning the concepts throughout. Yes, the game is quick and simple; but it's working and taught me a lot!
Gameplay:
Control the mouse to avoid the cat and get the cheese! If you die, you'll start over.
