I'm trying to use anonymous inline functions and I'm finding some weird behavior when they are on tabs.
Putting everything in tab #0 works:
x=1
function _draw()
cls(1)
print('x is '..x)
end
(function()
x=2
end)() |
And moving the inline function call to tab #1 works:
x=1
function _draw()
cls(1)
print('x is '..x)
end
-->8
(function()
x=3
end)() |
But putting an inline function call on both tab #0 and tab #1 does not work:
x=1
function _draw()
cls(1)
print('x is '..x)
end
(function()
x=2
end)()
-->8
(function()

First Cart! I wrote an N queens solver because that was what was in one of my csci classes some time ago.

I always liked tunnel effects and I wanted to see if I could make one in PICO-8 with a simple method of drawing circles. I think it turned out pretty well. There is the issue of gaps between circles, but this does allow you to see parts of the tunnel further in the distance which I find interesting. I also gained a bit of intuition about shaping behavior with sin/cos and square root functions.
I also decided to try out the music capabilities of PICO-8 for the first time. I was mostly inspired by a track from the game No Time to Explain. I don't remember which one, I have just had parts of the melody floating around in my head for years.

Checking out a couple of different methods to fill the screen.
cls seem slightly faster than memset. I wonder if the difference is due to the multiplication op, or if there's something else going on...

This is a Julia set renderer. Not much else to say. The code was based off of the Wikipedia Pseudocode for the Julia Set.
The controls are (X) to zoom out, (Z)/(C) to zoom in, and the arrow keys to adjust the fractal parameters.
Hopefully you can enjoy it!
PS There are probably ways to increase the speed of this program. (This is my third published cartridge and so I'm not too great at pico-8 yet.) Once you zoom to fit the screen it takes ~2 seconds to respond. Feel free to point out changes that can be made.

TweetTweetJam 5 is here!
Hey everyone, just wanted to announce that TweetTweetJam 5 is starting very soon.
The jam runs from Nov. 4th ~ 11th.
If you haven't entered before, the rules are simple: make a cart in 560 characters of code or less! No assets are allowed (map/sprite data), get creative with glyph prints instead!
Signup on the itch.io jam page here.
The twitter tag is #tweetTweetJam, and there's a bunch of carts on here (the bbs), itch, and twitter for inspiration.

STORY
Barry Buff - hero for hire (and his accomplice Asami in 2 player) have signed up to escort a princess and her ladies-in-waiting to their home land. Having purchased a map from a local trader, it doesn't take them long to realise that it's fake and has lead them to be helplessly lost in the middle of a wide expanse of plains. Not only that, but they soon realise that they've lost the princess and are now surrounded by some small green folk.
Their leader steps forward. 'We will return to you your princess if you can beat us in a game of Snatch the Wench.'
Our heroes look at each other dumbfounded, and realise that they must have stumbled into Goblin Gardens. There is nothing they can do but comply with the goblins silly game.

A small game I attempted to create for the Lowrez jam but lost all motivation to finish on time. Wanted to share this simple adventure with you all here! Enjoy!

I purchased the bundle of Pico-8 and Voxatron earlier this year, but have since lost my download key in an email purge. I realize now that I never created an account to link to it. Is there any way for me to recover my info so I can re-download them? I emailed the support email a few times, but haven't heard anything back.

Hi there !
So I've been practicing Pico8 for the last few weeks, and for my second game I did a little something for Halloween ! This is a simple game fairly inspired by Fruit Ninja, so no complex game design, but I tried to make it as polished and fun to play as possible ! I hope you guys will like it.

You only have to slash as many pumpkins as possible while avoiding to cut the dangerous jack-o'-lanterns ! And if you do, you may have the chance to find candies along your way to heal up a little bit !
If you're interested in what I'll be doing in the future, you can follow me on Twitter !

P8C-BUN is now uploaded to itch.io here: https://drake-blue.itch.io/p8c-bun
I've also been working on something else that I really want to share a preview of soon, but I need to clean it up just a little more first.

We've made a version of the classic Colour Lines game. It's a bit Halloween-themed.
This is our first PICO-8 game (but I do have prior programming experience, so it was very easy to start).
Garbata team is basically a fancy name for me and my sister, who goes by the nick Cabbit, while a friend Lazy Lvalue helped with the music.
The game is available in Ukrainian, Belarusian and 4 international languages (Russian, English, Latin and Esperanto).
I hope you like it!
