This is my first foray into pico-8, which I started yesterday after my teacher showed the class the basics. My code's probably messy because I prioritized learning the ropes and getting the game working. I might fix it up later.
Game modes are:
- Single player - hit the ball against the opposite wall, with the ball's speed increasing over time. Tracks the high score per cartridge boot.
- Two player - play against a friend in classic Pong.
- VS Computer - play against an AI with easy, medium, and hard difficulties.
All modes currently feature endless gameplay.

Picross like cute study.
Mark the squares with the mouse's left button following the hints in rows and collumns.
It's just a simple picross.
Update 1:
-
Mark an X with the right button to say "nonono! there is no mark here!"
- the row hints turn green when it's correct.

It is not possible to present actual keys being used by pico in game.
Pico8 keyconfig can be used to remap keys.
Proposal:
keyconfig id [player] returns the character being used for button id and player (default 0) |

Hi!
I seem to have stumbled across a slight bug with mixing audio rates on separate channels while working on a game.
Basically, I have channels 2,3 and 4 set at half rate, while channel 1 is at the normal rate, to get a bit higher range for the sfx in game. I have only channel 4 reserved for music by calling music(0,0,0b0001) in _init(), and since that's one of my half rate channels, I'd want stat(24) to accurately provide the pattern its playing currently. However, it seems this only works some of the time, and it can get out of sync pretty easily.
In the cart here, I've separated the music things from my game and made some easier to interpret statistics, but the bug still happens. Here I've made all the music patterns different, every pattern has a different note, and groups of 4 patterns use different instruments, so you can hear where in the sequence the song is. And just to make sure: The audio plays back correctly, the thing that's not working is what stat(24) reports as the current pattern.
