Hello there,
(English isn't my first Language, I hope it doesn't sound too bad, Sorry^^)
I was looking for a easy Solution to "modify" the Linux in my GPi Case to boot directly into PICO8. I don't want to use something like Retropie/Recalbox/Lakka, just a PICO8-Machine.
There was already a Project called PICOPI, which already assembled that. But it seems this Project doesn't exist anymore (Homepage is down; the Files I could find on archive.org doesn't seem to work anymore).
So I thought I write my own Script for this, which builds upon Raspbian, the Default-Linux-Distribution for Raspberry Pi (which builds upon GPi Case). I thought it could be useful for others, so I uploaded the Script^^.
While using this Script, you will be able to put your .p8-Files directly on the "boot"-Partition on the SD Card.
Script can be found on Github, including a Manual for using it:
https://github.com/Astorek86/Pico8-Script-for-GPi-Case
EDIT: I also uploaded a Video on Youtube to show the Process:

for example, when i have these files in my working directory:
tiny terrarium.lua tiny terrarium.p8 |
and i enter "load t" and then press tab, it completes to "load tiny terrarium.", as it should, but then even if i type "p" and then press tab, it will not complete to "load tiny terrarium.p8". i tested various variations of partial entries of the file names, and they seem to work as long as the space hasn't been entered yet, and fail as long as it has been.
(also, inline code snippets on the bbs don't seem to work as advertised? i couldn't get them to format this post properly. they insisted on making full code blocks every time)

Hello and welcome back.
WOW !
Sorry for taking so long to return. Has been quite the busy week for me, babysitting, entertaining company, visiting family, G/F visiting, and working on the main company project (not yet released).
To see what's been done in Applecart on this particular project so far, go HERE:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36805
Continuing the Applecart PENSATE we were going to do five stages of the Apple puzzle game, PENSATE.
- Sprites and game appearance (due now, I finished mine all in just an hour)
- Movement of sprites and player (due now)
- Menus, scoring, opening animations (etc) (scheduled for next week (02-23-20)
- Sound
- Cleanup and completion
So here is the video so far in my own attempts at writing PENSATE:
This is a sample of the last and hardest level. The player must make 3-moves at a time stored into an action queue and each time he moves the opponents also make a move.

A 2017 game I made but forgot to post here :|
Mix colors spurts and send them to the exit by setting walls and floors. 2017 Fantasy Console Game Jam entry, which theme was "Union", made in 6 days with Pico-8.
Only 18 levels for now, but it's in my "There's potential for a full game" list ;)

we could be able to search (on splore and the BBS) by game category and number of players.
If you read this, zep, please add that.

In the command prompt, this will work (where ⎵ denotes a space):
- load⎵#15133
- load⎵"#15133"
- load("#15133")
- ⎵load("#15133")
- ⎵load⎵("#15133")
However this will throw syntax errors:
- load⎵⎵#15133
- ⎵load⎵#15133
- load⎵⎵"#15133"
- load⎵("#15133")

Very potato and not finished but hey that was fun to code :)
needs lots of everything...
-- 0.6 update: drift!!! wheeeeeeeee! totally unrealistic though...
-- 0.5 update: a lot less potato and fast thanks to @fred72 :)
-- 0.4 update. forgot to put checkpoints on the second track...
-- 0.3 update: sound, checkpoint, still need better driving physics...
-- 0.2 update: more optimization and refactoring
-- 0.1 update: better perfs...

NOV 23 REFACTOR UPDATE!
-
STILL NO IN-GAME INSTRUCTIONS BUT THE LEVEL IS COMPLETE.
-
Enemies will shoot at you if you are in front of them, otherwise they will follow the direction of the BLOODY FOOTPRINTS underneath them. If there are not bloody footprints underneath them, they patrol in a pattern dictated by their colour.
-
Lead a guard to the RED SCANNER in order to open the first YELLOW DOOR. YELLOW DOORs require all nearby RED SCANNERs to be green (probably need a UI for this).
-
KEYCARDs open BLUE DOORs. the BLUE DOOR won't open unless your keycard is high enough level.
- When you get the GLOVES, you can vault over railings (as in the gif).
--
The controls are:
- Use the arrow keys to move around. You can queue a move a little ahead to keep the game going if you want to (i tried a full input queue which worked but I had no method to cancel it. Feedback on movement welcome

I could easily find a tutorial on how to make a bounding box collision function online, but I could not easily find an example of iterating through a table to test for collisions, so I made it myself in hopes to help new programmers.
-- collision example
-- andy c
function _init()
-- create player object named block, each object in this example will need an x and a y
block = {}
block.x = 64
block.y = 64
-- create 6 walls
walla = {}
walla.x = ceil(rnd(120))
walla.y = ceil(rnd(120))
wallb = {}
wallb.x = ceil(rnd(120))
wallb.y = ceil(rnd(120))
wallc = {}
wallc.x = ceil(rnd(120))
wallc.y = ceil(rnd(120))
walld = {}
walld.x = ceil(rnd(120))
walld.y = ceil(rnd(120))
walle = {}
walle.x = ceil(rnd(120))
walle.y = ceil(rnd(120))
wallf = {}
wallf.x = ceil(rnd(120))
wallf.y = ceil(rnd(120))
-- add the walls to the wall table
walls = {walla, wallb, wallc, walld, walle, wallf}
-- here's an inspirational quote: "wall-e" - wall-e
end
function collision(wall)
-- basically if it overlaps on two axis, it's a collision
if(block.x < wall.x + 8 and
block.x + 8 > wall.x and
block.y < wall.y + 8 and
block.y + 8 > wall.y)then
return true
end
end
function _update()
-- basically, move the coordinate, and test a collision for every object in the table.
-- if any of them return true, move back the coordinate to where it was
-- left
if (btn(0) and block.x > 0) then
block.x -= 1
for i in all(walls) do
if (collision(i)) then
block.x += 1
end
end
end
-- right
if (btn(1) and block.x < 120) then
block.x += 1
for i in all(walls) do
if (collision(i)) then
block.x -= 1
end
end
end
-- up
if (btn(2) and block.y > 0) then
block.y -= 1
for i in all(walls) do
if (collision(i)) then
block.y += 1
end
end
end
-- down
if (btn(3) and block.y < 120) then
block.y += 1
for i in all(walls) do
if (collision(i)) then
block.y -= 1
end
end
end
end
function _draw()
-- iterate through the table and draw a blue square for each block. draw a red square for the player
cls()
spr(1,block.x,block.y)
for i in all(walls) do
spr(2,i.x,i.y)
end

Btnp() returns true even when button continuously pressed down
Quick Recap
Essentially when I use btnp() for jumping, when keeping the button pressed down my character jumps, then pauses for a variable amount of time, then jumps again, ...
Thanks for your help :)
The code:
This code is in a function (p1()) that I call in _update60
--/jump\-- if p1.grounded then p1.jumptemp=0 end if btnp(⬆️) and p1.jumptemp<2 then p1.dy=0 p1.dy-=p1.jpp p1.jumping=true p1.jumptemp+=1 end |
Simplified code:
--/jump\-- if btnp(⬆️) and p1.jumptemp<2 then p1.dy=0 p1.dy-=p1.jpp end |
Detailed problem and attempts at troubleshooting
Hi everyone, so I'm quite new to pico-8, making my second game which is a platformer. To jump I used BTNP(up) which I believe is meant to: "return true only if a given button was pressed just now, and does not report true again for the same button in the next frame even if it is held down"(pico 8 fandom).
But for some reason, when I tried it in my game, when I hold the button down it jumps, waits for a variable amount of time, and jumps again (and so on but I have a double jump limit). I'm not sure why I already figured my key might be a bit dis-functioning but I used a keyboard checker and it seems to be ok. So I'm thinking it has to be something in my code, if you guys know what's wrong please help me :)

Dominion Ex is a vertical-scrolling shoot'em up. Fight 14 different enemies with 4 weapons over 3 levels of space action. (That's 168 pieces of fun!)
It features two difficulties and a ship upgrade system to allow for different play-styles and strategies.
Tips
Some enemies are immune to certain weapons. Look out for blue forcefields!
Collect coins to pay for ship upgrades.

Hello!
The theme of the game is around the recent Coronavirus / Covid-19. A slight flip on traditional game logic: Losing is living. Winning is dying.
This is first release of my first project based off the excellent tutorial of 'cells' by Nerdy Teachers:
https://nerdyteachers.com/Explain/Cells/ and a few other bits I've pulled from around the web.
The code is very messy, but the gameplay is nearing a final state and functions mostly as planned.
From here I will do some tidying up of the code. Perhaps only feature I might add is a progressive sound design as difficulty increases. Any efficiencies you might recommend would be appreciated.
Also will be doing some balancing of the gameplay, so any play testing, game tweaks and recommendations to the mechanics also very much appreciated!

This is the original PICO-8 edition!
The PC version adds more bosses, cards, updated graphics - while still keeping the gameplay-feel of this preview.
Introduction
In Cards with Personalities Classic, players take on the role of a humble hero trying to assemble a team of great personalities to defeat the weird bosses that roam the lands. Each turn, you will play cards from your hand to gain Gold, Attack or other effects (like converting monsters to your side). You can spend Gold to acquire new cards from your deck. Attack is used to slay monsters, which earns you Gold and other cool effects. The battlefield is always changing so you have to adapt and come up with new strategies to defeat all eight bosses!

version 2.15
I created a version of geometry dash for pico 8
levels are stored in the map so you can make custom levels if you have pico 8
enjoy!
note: this is a work in progress. features will be added. next update will (hopefully) have full levels, and possibly a ship gamemode
update info:
version 1 - game released
version 2 - smooth scrolling added
version 2.1 - fixed weird collision left over from tile by tile scrolling
version 2.15 - oops forgot about wierd pad collision (fixed)

Another little project, nothing special! I'm still learning!
My next project will have sound I promise!
You can jump over the rocks and logs but not the skiers so watch out!
Arrow keys to move
X to jump
O to restart when dead
266 is the highest score I've seen!
I used the lovely lightweight particle system from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=58211 in the making of this project

Use arrows to move and X to place/delete cells.
Press C to simulate.
Edit "cdead", calive" and "psize" in code to change cell color and size.
Future features: menu to select those parameters
