A simple UNO clone with some AI.
Z/Circle: Play card
X/Cross: Call UNO (on yourself defensively or on others offensively)
Arrows to move the cursor.
Press Up to move the cursor to the deck (so you can draw a card).
Revision 1 Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug where debug controls to draw cards without spending your turn were left in.
- Fixed a bug where the game would crash if more than one AI player attempted to call UNO at the same time.

*edit 2: 0.2.3 has a built-in way to do this with tostr
edit: see downthread for a better function
I was thinking about high scores in PICO-8 a while ago and it occurred to me that they'd make more sense as unsigned 32 bit integers than 16b.16b fixed point decimals. The easy part in that case is adding points - simply increment in units of 0x0.0001 instead of units of 1 - but if it's a high score, I'd also like to be able to display it.
Thus:
function tostr_u32(n) -- return n as a 32-bit uint -- 92 tokens, ~1/780 of a 30 FPS CPU per call -- " " as thousands divider -- calculate ones -- (0x.03e8 = 1000 * 0x0.0001) local s=tostr(shl(n%0x.03e8,16)) if n>0 then n/=1000 else -- if not-actually-a-sign-bit is set -- have to be a little tricksy -- splitting in half -- n&0x0.ffff lower -- lshr(n,16) upper -- upper half unit = 65 536 -- so within thousands: local m=536*lshr(n,16) m+=n&0x0.ffff -- originally used -- local m=536*lshr(n,16)+n&0x0.ffff -- but that returned wrong results s=tostr(shl(m%0x.03e8,16)) -- and doing the division by -- 1000 in two steps: n=lshr(n,1) n/=500 end while n~=0 do while #s%4~=3 do -- pad with zeros s="0"..s end s=tostr(shl(n%0x.03e8,16)) .." "..s n/=1000 end return s end |
I'm sure this could be minimized further and/or optimized further and/or made more general, but I'd be willing to use it as is so I figured I'd share.

My game for Ludum Dare 47, a little puzzle game with a tline rotation effect.
I made the effect without any idea what I was doing with it, then scrambled to finish the puzzle part for the jam deadline...

Gameplay
Crowded Dungeon Crawler is a mix of puzzle and dungeon crawler. Your goal is to defeat enough enemies to open the door to the next level.
- The TIME bar depletes as you play. Once it's empty it's game over. Attacking enemies and buying items will stop time for a few seconds.
- Melee items require HP to be used. When attacking multiple enemies, only the strongest one in the group will damage you.
- Magic items require MANA. Each item has a specific mana cost. If you don't have enough mana to cast an ability, you can hold the attack button to convert TIME into MANA.

Hallo Pico People,
Loving it here. First post!
So i'm working on a 2D physics based collision engine.
...Imagine a whole bunch of polygons flying around, wrapped in AABBs (axis aligned bounding boxes)...
And I was wondering if this was a legit/efficient way to check if Two Edges/Line-Segments Intersect.
1. Treat them as AABBs and check if those overlap, is so keep the "resulting mini rectangle".
-->otherwise abort
2. Treat them as Linear-Functions (infinite strait lines) and check if they are parallel, if NOT determine the resulting "point of intersection"
--otherwise abort
3. check if the "point of intersection" is inside the "resulting mini rectangle".
--return that point, otherwise abort
--do segments intersect? if so where?
function segments(a,b)
local r=overlap(to_rect(a),
to_rect(b))
if(not r)return false
local pt=intersection(a,b)

When: NOW through October 29th
How: I uh.. just make a game or pico8 toy?
Ohhh and add monster(s)! Cute or.. not so cute -- just gotta have a monster somewhere, somehow, some...when!

This is Mot's 8-Ball Pool, a little pool simulation inspired by 3D pool on the C64 and Amiga.
Shoot a round of pool against a friend, or one of the 7 different AI characters.
UI
The UI at the bottom of the screen shows how each player is progressing.
The player's name flashes when it is their turn.
The color they must sink is displayed next to their name, and the balls already sunk are displayed above.
A white ball indicates they have a free ball.
When player fouls, the reason for the foul is displayed in a scrolling message along the bottom of the screen.

How would I go about comparing numbers greater than 32,767?
I'm using @Felice's code from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=22677:
function get_score_text(val) local s = "" local v = abs(val) while (v!=0) do s = shl(v % 0x0.000a, 16)..s v /= 10 end if (val<0) s = "-"..s if(s=="") then s="0" end return s end |
I'm saving the three highest scores to the cart data. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to solve how to determine if the user's current high score (stored as a string) is greater than one of the other three. I'm looking for a function along these lines:
function check_new_high_score()
--high_scores = table of tables { 1 => (player_name), 2 => (player score) }
for i=1,#high_scores do
local raw_high_score = get_score_text(config.total_score)
local raw_saved_score = high_scores[i][2]
if(raw_high_score>raw_saved_score) then

Rated as the worst Defender's clone on the Atari VCS 2600 console. Here's my remake of this one. Enjoy!

I am trying to edit the config.txt file from /Users/myuser/Library/Application Support/pico-8, but it is overwritten every single time I exit out of pico-8. Does anybody know why this is?
I'm using PICO-8 v0.2.1b on OSX.
I have validated (multiple times) that pico-8 is NOT running when I edit the file. When I then start the application, the settings are still present in the config.txt (although my changes seem to be ignored) and then the file is overwritten with default values when I exit.
Thanks for any suggestions!

A short game about being not enough.

TL;DR:
PICO-8 is amazing!

What a rush! I needed all those 72 hours to complete this. At about 40 minutes from the end, I had the game completed and for god’s sake, it worked and was ready.
It has been a lot since my last solo Ludum Dare (like 4 years probably) but I'm so happy that this is the game for my comeback. This time the theme was "Stuck in a loop", and the Ludum Dare 47 started a bit earlier, at midnight for me. I thought about this concept just a few hours after I went to bed, and I've fallen in love with it. I believe this truly resonates with how I feel and have felt and this is why I think I've managed to make it conveys those feelings to the player.

You are a satellite tasked with scanning a foreign planet. Travel through the data ring hotspots while avoiding the planet’s meteor showers, asteroid belts, and electric discharges.
Controls: Hold Z to fly in the inner ring and X to fly on the outer one. You orbit faster when you are closer to the planet and slower when you are further away. Use that to your advantage!
