Mouse and Keyboard are required!

New release of PicoDraw, the tool I created to draw all backgrounds in my Masters of the Universe cart and the huge scrolling objects in R-Type, in a special compressed format.

What's new:

• sprite tools
• clone groups
• H/V mirroring of subshapes
• revamped UI

It uses a mixture of primitives/sprites/tile-maps. Maybe someone else will find it useful too or just contribute to further development.

I will update this post with some tutorials as soon as possible, here's a demo cart showing how to use the created data in a game. check the code and the included sprites.

I will, on occasion, play a game or two of Vampire the Masquerade (5th Edition).

I will, on occasion, rely on borrowing dice.

Here's an alternative for kindred of less discerning tastes.

When I press shift+9 in the music editor (but not the sound editor) on any pattern EXCEPT for pattern 0, pico8 crashes.

My OS is windows 7, and my pico8 version is 29, as shown by print(stat(5))

---

edit: this bug still exists in pico8 0.2.4

bug crash

I wish I knew exactly how to reproduce this; it doesn't happen all the time. But decently often (~4 times in the last ~40 hours of runtime? idk just a ballpark guess) when I open a new tab in the code editor and press ctrl+v to paste in code, pico8.exe immediately exits.

The last 3 or 4 times this has happened, I've relaunched pico8.exe and tried to do exactly the same keypresses etc (ctrl+a to copy all text from one tab, ctrl+t out of muscle memory to create a new tab (does not work in pico8), mouse click to create a new tab for real, ctrl+v to paste code), and it works the second time without crashing. Maybe it only happens when the console has been on for long enough? (>4 hours, generally). Maybe I'm not reproducing my steps exactly? idk

My pico8 version is 29, as shown by print(stat(5))

My OS is windows 7

(Is there some sort of crash logs folder or anything like that that I should attach to this post?)

Just learning how to use pico8, decided to publish my first cartridge

Hello, world!

This is my first cart made with PICO-8, and I'm so happy to share it!

I hope you enjoy this game about staying well-hydrated (and not dying lost and alone in the desert).

Let me know what you think!

I doubt that's an intended behaviour: After running a Cart that's using the "FILLP"-Command, every Draw in the Sprite-Editor that includes Pencil or Shape (the last one; not shown in the GIF) also uses this pattern:

On 0.2.1B, it's possible to use "fillp(█)" (or simply reboot) to solve that Problem...

(I was working on a Game and tried to change a Sprite, and I wondered that I suddenly couldn't overwrite some Pixels in the Sprite anymore. I was like "what the Hell is going on there?" until I discovered that^^)

About

This is inspired by the no internet dinosaur runner game in the Chrome browser, with a slight Tony Hawk's Pro Skater twist. Instead of avoiding the cactuses, the goal is to skate and destroy. So you keep your combo alive by staying off the ground, and every time you max out the combo bar you get a score bonus and the difficulty ratchets up. Things become quite frantic in the higher levels with the amount of meteors and lava you have to dodge.

Greetings Piconaughts! Today I present my first completed game for the Pico-8. It is a simple bubble pop matching game: Picopop 199X. It offers the ability to customize the starting field height, clustering of similar colours, colours used, if diagonal bubbles will pop, the length of your aim line, and the frequency of ~wildcard balls~. Overall, this should offer the casual gamer hours of enjoyment at their level of skill, whatever it may be. It is pretty simple and intuitive, you'll quickly be cutting swaths through the field. To score a hit, you need to directly impact a given bubble, so be wary of sliding in between bubbles you intend to hit! Overall, I spent about 4 hours putting this together (up all night, what else to do?), and I'm sure it could use further polish.

Enjoy!
