I had a lot of fun making this. This is the top-down adventure game tutorial I made for PICO-8, but re-written to work in Voxatron.
I had to make a few changes to how things worked, since it's in 3D, of course, and there are things that Voxatron doesn't have, like a map editor or its associated functions like mget() or mset(), or other functions like btnp() and so forth. But other than those few changes, it's basically the same code as from the tutorial.
Feel free to take it and make your own games with it. :)

How come the Voxatron cartridges are laggier then plain old PICO-8 cartridges and when you move its slow af. Whenever I look at the GIF's of Voxatron, they look perfectly fine, but when I play a Voxatron cartridge, It's slow. Like my internet is perfectly fine, yet Voxatron STILL LAGS. Please let me know if you know why and how to fix it if you know either of those. Or at least how to stop the lag. Thank you. :)


So I know how to make actors and objects appear at different times but how do I make them appear after something happens for example:
An enemy gets defeated. How do I make it drop, say, a laser powerup?
The player steps on a button. How do I change the floor from water to jelly?
The player defeats an actor. How do I make chocolate appear?
I could go on forever.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!



I got the voxel itch again after so long. This is a tweetcart version of an effect I'll very probably use in the future. The code is slightly altered from what I posted on Twitter because when running a cart without a scene, the camera is not properly reset.
I also added the zoom transition that'll be used, you can see it working by pressing up/down.
Here's the code
q=0 function _draw() camera() if(btn(3))q-=.5 if(btn(2))q+=.5 q=mid(20,q) clv() for z=48,63 do a=t()/6-z/12 r=63-z+q s=16*(1-q/20) o,p=s*cos(a),s*sin(a) col=z%2+33 set_draw_slice(z-q) rectfill(0,0,127,127,col) circfill(o+64,p+64,r*6,0) end set_draw_slice(0) [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=74558#p) |


Sorry if this has already been posted, got a false positive for virus detection on Win10 when installing voxatron 0.3.5b.

Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Unsure if there's any other info I should jot down to help reproduce the issue, or if this is a big issue at all, but I thought I should report the issue in case it was important!

In this game you play as Onion Boy, a little man with an onion head. He flies a plane over the city when alien saucers appear and start attacking. Can you defeat the alien ships with your bombs?
You can also just destroy the city if you'd prefer to do that. Hopefully the mayor doesn't mind the collateral damage since you're defending the earth from aliens.
EDIT: For reasons I'm not sure of, firing bombs doesn't seem to work in the browser version on Firefox or Chrome. It does seem to work in the version on the browser in Voxatron itself though. If I can figure out and fix whatever the problem is, I'll be sure to put out a new cart version.

This is a quick port of my PICO-8 boids cart. Nothing fancy, just some boids doing their thing.
