This was made for a school project, we were assigned colored shirts and had to support out color in the most creative way possible. I decided to make a quick little game.

Finally got my RPI working and somehow it looks okay on my CRT TV. I decided to get the Game Development with Pico-8 by Dylan Bennet printed like a magazine so I can mimic the way programmers and hobbyists were able to program like they were doing BASIC code from a Magazine. It turned out pretty good. Can't wait to work on my 2nd game in a retro style kind of way haha
All I need now is to find someone who can help me install a RPI into a commodore 64 keyboard.. or a keyboard in general

Recently got Pico 8 over on itch.io and wanted to find out if I can get it activated on my account here or will the itch version be kept upto date with the main site? thank you

The New and Improved Pico-8 API Documentation!
Alternatively, here's the link in text form: https://iiviigames.github.io/pico8-api
Why is it new?
I've been making a version of my own for some time now, just as I have updated the Sublime Text syntax for Pico-8. Since it's been 9 months since the original maintainer has updated it, I thought it was time to share my version. This work is based on the forked original API made by Neko250.
- Clear version number and more intuitively located information
- New and more specific tabs for content
- Reformatted & rearranged the existing data
- Heavily modified aesthetics, now more like PICO-8 itself
- Many (not all) new functions have been added
- Clear and concise annotations in code blocks
- Pico-8 built-ins highlight,just like they would in the IDE

hi!!!
a couple of questions...
I bought the PICO-8 thang (WHICH IS GREAT BY THE WAY!!!) but there is no record of me having done so...
I'd like to download the new version...
the other thing is, do I need to repurchase for each machine I want to use it on?
thanks

Was watching a preview of Panic's SDK for their awesome looking https://play.date and they showed off this fun looking Stars example. I decided to re-implement it in Pico-8 and add some interactivity!
- [D-Pad]: influence the direction of the particles
- [X]: Hold down to slow down the particles
- [O]: Randomly change the colors of the foreground and background

Made a quick and buggy (hah) Frogger.
I wanted to try an hypothesis: I don't think that in the Atari version they do any collision detection at all. Instead, they may use a formula to check whether current position is occupied by an item or not.
Formula in function positem() returns an x position depending on a direction, speed and offset, and is used to draw items and also for checking if there is something on frogger's position (checkrow())

I recently uploaded a few Pico-8 games to itch.io and different people have told me different keys work for their computer, all on windows. Is there a way to make sure that no matter which computer you run a Pico-8 game on, the keys will always be the same?
Thanks,
Enzo

< START
<
< So I started getting into game development a little over a week ago, and I have alot of questions about this place and the fantasy consoles.
< To start out for context of what I've learned so far, I'm gonna link two videos. I've done most of the built in tutorials for game maker and
< the latest one was the "My first arena shooter tutorial". The first link is gonna be footage of what the finished tutorial project is supposed to
< look like a little about how it works, then the second clip is gonna be what I made and what I added and figured out (largely through brute
< trial and error) to do on my own. I have to record on my phone cuz I'm rocking a sweet 2011 macbook air and the appersoft recording
< software I'm used to using on other computers cuts the framerate down into a quarter of what it's supposed to be.

Shibuya Pixel Art 2020 is accepting submissions until the end of June, and this year there is a new category for 128x128 games! Lexaloffle is sponsoring the game category with a prize (a Picade Cabinet), and by offering a limited number of PICO-8 licenses to participants.
Similar to a game jam, entries should be based on one or more of the following themes: Shibuya, AI, Humanity, Game and/or Landscape. Unlike typical game jams, existing work can be adapted or reused, as long as it did not win a previous contest. You can find previous winning entries for 2018 and 2019.
