Hi I have made a quick python script to turn an square picture to a string of text that can the be parsed by pico8 to make a nice splashscreen.
Pico8 code
function txt_to_pic(txt)
local d={
a=10,
b=11,
c=12,
d=13,
e=14,
f=15
}
d['0']=0
d['1']=1
d['2']=2
d['3']=3
d['4']=4
d['5']=5
d['6']=6
d['7']=7
d['8']=8
d['9']=9
local x=0
local y=0
for i=0,#txt do
if x>128 then
x=0
y+=1
end
c=d[sub(txt,i,i)]
pset(x,y,c)
x+=1
end
end |
And here is the python script (just replace "me.jpg" by your image):
import numpy
import PIL
#%%
img = PIL.Image.open("me.jpg")
img = img.resize((128,128))
imgarr = numpy.array(img)
newimg=numpy.array(img)
img.resize((128*10,128*10))

Made a sample platformer, mostly to show how to do things like collisions, camera, jump buffering, and slopes. I wrote this to be clear rather than to save tokens, and it has no real gameplay to keep the core of the engine as clear as possible.
The code for this cart can also be found on github and is MIT licensed.
Features:
- Movement and jumping
- Collision checking and resolution
- Jump buffering
- Slopes
- Platforming camera

Since PICO-8 has #include to, well, include files, I thought of starting a git repo to provide handy functions in bundle to include from.
The public repo can be found at https://gitlab.com/zothynine/pico8-code-library
For now, there's only a text function, but feel free to particibate ;-)
Cheers, Z9

Reposting this in carts, because it's as finished as it's ever going to be :-).
This is a little SDF ray marcher I've been playing with.
It renders two randomly placed spheres and a torus above a checker-board plane in different colours. Often one of them is reflective.
The code is ugly as heck, and the specular highlights are completely wrong, but it occasionally spits out something pretty imo.
Update: Changed to use sqrt() again, as it's much more accurate in v0.2.0

A highly realistic simulation of Brexit negotiations. Enjoy the riveting and exciting career of a Brexit Prime Minister. Only you can do this, because no one else wants to deal with it.
I have not seen any 'political satire' games here, so I hope its a good precedent. There is very contextually implied nsfw material which is based on real events and quotes.

The interesting feature is that the cart stores a bunch of 4 letter words in a Bloom filter, e.g., about 6000 four letter words are probabilistically "stored" in 8 kilobytes. This English word database is stored in the region of memory reserved for the map.
The game itself is incomplete, but I wonder if other folks can think of other PICO-8 applications of a "four letter word database."

Whenever I log in via username and password, it doesn't work, even if I used the correct password. I have to use the email login. Is there something I'm missing?

There should be a part of RAM that can be read and written to by more than one game. This could work by a host cart having a whitelist of guest cart IDs that can use the shared RAM with the host game, and the guest carts have the ability to access the shared RAM from the get-go. This could be used by a Zelda clone where the game is split across multiple carts (like Picoware, but items have to persist between carts, so the host cart (the boot cart) puts the item data in the shared RAM, which the other guest carts can access and edit.

Hi, I am having a problem with sprites and the map.
It seems that the botom half of my spritesheets is interlinked with the bottom part of the map.
It is realy frustating, is there anything I can do?

A simple weapon-based arcade-style beat 'em up. One hit kills, so be careful.
Controls:
- o: attack
- while moving: light attack
- whlle standing still: heavy attack (penetrates more defenses, but leaves you exposed if you miss)
- all attacks require a windup. hold attack to keep attack ready, release at your leisure. Note: you will be vulnerable to enemies while holding. You also won't turn around (good for kiting)
- x: defend
- while moving: dodge
- while standing still: parry (successful parry drops enemies defenses just long enough to counter)
- while holding attack: cancel attack

This is the PICO-8 version of a game I wanted to make about 3 years ago. I figured I should make a smol version of it and actually finish.
The final game will be a one-screen maze game with moving enemies, and hopefully something interesting with the painting mechanic. I also want people to make their own levels for it, so I made a separate level editor (not in PICO-8) that spits out a table that the game reads as a leves; super user f r i e n d l y .
Anyways, that's what this is. I hope I have something more interesting

TO LOAD THIS CART, type the following in immediate mode:
load #dt |
You've probably seen some pretty amazing things in graphic demos done for Pico-8, none to me more satisfying than the dither effect I've seen between two colors, where one side of the screen is black, the other white, and a complex and beautiful pattern between both showing a kind of fade ability using only the same-color pixels.
The fill pattern is by @Megus, and you can find his demoscene cart HERE:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=35774
Now while he and his crew have made an amazing demo, this tutorial and focus will be only on the dither technique used to create a division between two-colors. While it looks great on 3-dimensional models, it is also quite a thing of beauty to appear even on the screen just by itself.

I made this horrendous well-programmed cart which corrupts itself when true=true.
Why did I do this?
I don't know, I'm just procrastinating on being a functioning member of society.
Disclaimer: it's dumb don't use it

TO LOAD THIS in Pico-8 type:

I am not at all certain if Pico-8 runs 100% correctly on Android and cellphones. I would like to think that if it is not, that @zep is certainly doing his level best to ensure that it can.
This program is fairly simple but opens up input, especially for a touchscreen Android and touchscreen cellphone.
I had originally worked this into a complex cellphone driven programming language earlier with 15 buttons in a 5x3 format, but the language is cumbersome, slow, and not at all user-friendly.
So I have put it here. You can test it with the mouse if you like.
6 buttons are already active.
