So I made a function to search for a key value in a table and delete that index three times, but the problem is del() deletes the first instance of the value I want to delete and not the index of said value. I put my function below, please help.
function delindex(val) for i=1,#table/3 do if table[i*3-2]==val then del(table, table[i*3-2]) del(table, table[i*3-2]) del(table, table[i*3-2]) end end end |

What's that!
Picowars is an 8bit homage to one of the greatest Nintendo games of all time. Advance Wars. That may just me by opinion but it's the right one.
Picowars is a turn-based strategy game where the objective is to build up an army from your bases in order to capture more properties on the map and eventually capture the opposing player's headquarters.
New to the franchise?

I use Dropbox to share my PICO-8 carts, screenshots, and gifs between my desktops and laptop. It's extremely useful to use it that way. It means all my carts in are one place, they're all saved to the cloud, and I never have to worry about which carts are on which device. (Another bonus is that I only have to update PICO-8 in one place, Dropbox, when a new version comes out.)
The TL;DR is just installing PICO-8 in a folder in Dropbox, and then tweaking the config file on each device to make sure it uses the Dropbox folder as where stores the carts and images (screenshots and gifs).
I know there are probably tweaks that could be done to this guide for each person's individual setup, and maybe there are ways to improve what I have set up here, but this has worked for me for half a decade, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, I primarily use Windows machines, so this setup may need tweaking to make this kind of setup work on MacOS or Linux. (It should be effectively the same process, though.)
Here are the steps I use:

Hungry Rat
Goal of the game is to control your hunger by eating falling food. But watch out there are other things falling as well, If you are hit with anything other than food it will add to your hunger and if it fills up completely then you lose. Finish the game by surviving all 16 levels.
Left Arrow=move left
Right Arrow=move right
Z Key=O Button/Jump
X Key=X Button/Main Menu Instructions
Author's Note:
This is my first decent game created with pico 8 and I am not a skillful programmer. So I apologize if you looked at my messy code. It is definitely not optimized, full of bugs and will give you headache if you read it. So be warned. I do plan to refactor this in the future but for now please bear with the game and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks!

I'm noticing crackling or popping noises during music playback in the 0.2.0i web player, either on the BBS or standalone web. I cannot reproduce the noise for the same carts in PICO-8 native. For me this is noticeable and unpleasant, discovered in both the recent Pico Driller and Star Anise Chronicles.
Anyone else hearing this? I can try to record it if that helps.

Introducing our first Pico-8 game, a small point-and-click adventure: Forgotten Hill Pico
You’ve been assigned a strange task: find the creature that escaped from the lab. Can you take Pico back to its cage?
My code is pretty rough and not-optimized at all, but it works :)
Special thanks to @Nodepond for the very useful Pic2Pico tool and @Level27Geek for Simple Textbox Framework.

Thanks to Lexaloffle Games for Pico-8, it's a lot of fun!

A game where you control a bat and use echolocate to see the things in the shadows.
some objects restart the game when you touch them so be careful!
echos will bounce off of all objects except the player and air.
use ⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️ to move and ❎ to echolocate.
currently the cart is mainly a play/test area cuz I am working on the map.
Feel free to post any echolocation art in the comments!
Feel free to make your own play area and share it but YOU MUST:

I'd just like to share that I implemented a tracker for the Gamebuino inspired on PICO-8's tracker. It is a bit more primitive, as the Gamebuino console only supports 10-bit audio. Furthermore to keep CPU load acceptable, some pragmatic choices had to be made in generating the audio samples. For example, all calculations are integer-based and only 8-bit multiplications are used. Custom instruments are also not fully supported. In particular, you cannot layer effects, e.g. apply a Vibrato effect on top of a Slide, or vice versa.
However, my tracker supports all instruments and effects available in PICO-8. With that, it is able to reproduce most PICO-8 songs. At least, I successfully managed to render all the songs that I tried to port.
In particular, I want to thank the following PICO-8 users for sharing their carts/music under a Creative Commons license:
- @Domarius: Alex Kidd
- @Gruber: For his music in The Lair and Winter Golf

Flappy Ducky was made for the OneLevelGameJam on the weekend of 2020.02.02.
Your goal is to find all bread on the map. You have to return all the bread to finish the game!
You can flap equal to the number of feather you have. Bring your lady duck flowers to gain more feathers.
Don't forget to post your time, let's see how can be the flappiest ducky!
Controls:
X - Flap your wings
C - Glide in the air

Please add volume controls.
This is actually two requests: volume controls for the PICO-8 native apps, and volume controls for the web player (exported and BBS). BBS games in particular are always at full volume, and I rely on web media players to give me a volume setting I can adjust on a per-player basis.

The world only moves when Hot Duck moves! Help her retrieve her Ketchup-Heart in 9 short levels!
Based on the 2017 GMTK game jam theme: Dual Purpose Mechanics. This is pretty late for a 2017 jam, but I didn't have the means to build video games in 2017, so here I am. Hope you enjoy it!

Pilot, your brother is a polar explorer. He got in trouble!
Just take him home!
Hints:
- First, learn to land your aeroplane;
- Lightning and birds do not damage you plane while it is on the ground;
- Low throttle->low fuel consumption;
- Storm clouds can be passed above;
- And... just take your brother home!
The game can be completed in ~7-10 min...
I will be glad your feedback.

My entry for #RNDGAME2020 jam!
"Map of loss" is a game inspired by classic lunar lander and pirate games, where the player like a god of wind, helps a small pirate crew in their search for treasure!
How to play:
Hold/Release the directional keys, to move the ship.
Press the X key to start/restart the game.
How fast the ship goes depends on how long you hold each key.
Your compass is broken! Instead of pointing north, it points you to the direction where the treasure is located.
Unfortunately, there are wicked gods trying to ruin your deeds, try to outplay them!
When you approach your target, try to move VERY slowly or you might crash!
How much time did it take you to find the booty? :)
