It would be helpful if calling color() to change the default color would return the previously default color. I am currently using a snippet like this to restore a previous default color:
t=band(peek(24357),15) color(c) blah blah color(t) |

SPACE RAIDER!!!!
My first PICO-8/ Any game project!!
Heyo!! I would like to start by saying Im BRAND NEW HERE! So. Apologies if this is horrible :O
Firstly: credit where credit is due: Thank you user Gruber for letting the community use his music in our experiments!
- Pico 8 Page: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11292
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gruber_music
(hes super cool - 100% check him out!)
I had fun making it and found that you could publish it and I thought that'd make it easier to have my friends give it a try and provide feedback while having the community chime in as well.
Im pretty awkward with the whole publishing thing - so be nice? :P

Intro
An arcade-style highscore-focused twin stick shooter. You can technically use player 2's controls for the second stick, or you can use the single button shoot controls. If you play on https://gate.itch.io/heat-death you'll get better dual-stick support.
Full source code for this game is available here: https://github.com/Gate88/heat-death/
How to play
Controls
Classic Pico-8 Controller
up/down/left/right - move
X - hold to shoot and strafe
O - hold to count from 1 to 3 and release to use powerup

Okay so, first off, hello! I'm new here. I'm also bad with publicly posting stuff like this, let alone in a community i'm new to, so sorry if I made any mistakes.
Second, this was made for the "VVVVVV's 10th birthday eVVVVVVent!" jam as a tribute to VVVVVV and it'll be up there with a more thorough explanation soon after I post this. https://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/11759 The jam deadline is in a few days and that started to stress me out a little so I just decided to submit it as-is and stop worrying about it.
Third, this is a mess. I'm not too competent when it comes to coding and I rarely ever comment anything unless I'm commenting out code. I'm sure it's not quite as bad as I think it is, but regardless I know under the hood it's a bit of a disaster. This is unfinished, and probably will never be finished, but who knows if I'll decide to come back to it or not.

Hello!
This is my first game with Pico-8.
I followed Dylan Bennet's lunar lander tutorial in the Pico-8 gamedev zine and kept plussing it.
Hope you enjoy!

Hey look a this guy's, i was hanging out on ebay and i found this surnatural appearance.
Pretty neat huµ ? It seems that some one have found a way to port celeste in a homebrew GBA cartridge.
I'm really curious about the process to reach such a chimeric combo, was it more a work about software or hardware ?
And i was wondering if it's possible to make it for gameboy color what i feel more legitimate and aesthetic for a pico 8 port ...

Good Afternoon ! It's a great day here at Applecart and let's see what the results are for this week.
I'm thinking it may have been the screen that turned away several programmers this week as we only have one entry for the "3D Space Dock" program. Despite there being only 2-moving objects at a time, it apparently was too much for other coders to wrap their heads around, and that's fine.
This idea was perhaps one of the first as a way of tackling the complexity of how to handle drawing something 3-dimensional on the Apple ][ computer for its day.
Fortunately I understood it. And I dutifully wrote a cart trying to keep the original spirit of the game with the only exception it checks to ensure that if you are hit from the front view either by the rogue asteroid or collision with the still ones, that it must also occur in the side view.
So you can't have a situation that cries collision when the front view hits the moving asteroid and the side view hits the stable asteroid. In the original game that was considered a collision, but not in the cart I wrote. You must be hit by the same object on both screens.

TO LOAD THIS Pico-8 cart in immediate mode type,
load #t3dsd |
The current Applecart of 3D Space Dock is due tomorrow.

Thought I would write out my version NOW so it will be ready then.
As in the description it does follow the original 1978 version pretty closely with only one real difference.
In the original game you could collide on one screen with a stationary asteroid and collide into a meteor on the 2nd screen. Which in truth does not constitute a collision, but in the original game it did.
I fixed it so if you run into a 3-dimensional object, it confirms that it is the CORRECT object you are running into on both view screens.

Hi. Apologies for bothering, especially on my first post.
I find lots of great PICO-8 games that are published over on itch.io but not on the BBS. I was trying to figure out if there'd be a way to convert the HTML5 output to a proper cartridge that we can load on PICO-8.
I got as far as getting the byte array from the .js file (_cartdat), but then trying to export it to a binary file seems to create a corrupted cartridge.
I tried over C, just load it into a char[] and then write it to a file. I have a 32kb file, but it's neither a PNG nor does it load.
Is there anything else I should be looking for, or should I just give up on it?
Thanks.

Hey folks, I made a little tool to display and save Pico-8 graphics of your *.p8 files:
You can download it
It will save the spritesheet and map separately as .png files.
I hope you enjoy it!

I started this for 7-Day Brough-Like maybe six months ago and worked on it after that for a while. I have lost access to the organizational documents so I won't be back to it for a while, but maybe eventually. At the moment you can just run from bacteria or kill them for free forever.
