I like to play with my kid but the cartridges are too many. How can i remove a cartridge?
Also if the available cart list gets auto-updated can i change that?
Thanks.

So, yesterday my brain exploded when I messed around with the new music filters introduced with 0.2.2, and went on a rampage of updating songs in my local carts to use them where neccesary, and just now I changed the music in the hello.p8 demo. I hope you like it!

I'm making a collection of songs called Noclip, which anyone here in the community can use with credit, a bit like ToyBox. Here are the tracks I've made so far, enchanced with 0.2.2 music effects!
Track One: Seen. Not sure what you would do with this one, but surprise me!
Track Two: SysNull. Spacey vibes. An expanded version of a song I made a bit of time ago.
If you use these, comment on the post so that I can see what you've done with them! I'm excited to see the uses of these songs.

I tried making a 60 FPS game and noticed a weird behavior of my PICO-8: it's refresh rate stayed at 29-30 FPS even though the game was supposed to be running on 60 FPS according to stat(7) and CTRL-P widget. Movement looked choppy and the builtin FPS counter (stat(9) and show_fps config) shown 29-30 FPS. My monitor is capable of 60hz refresh rate and my CPU and GPU usage wasn't even remotely close to 100% (or even 8%, which is half of a processor core and can be a limit for single-threaded apps). It works properly on the web version.
Pls halp!
P.S.: It works just fine on Linux on the same machine with the same cart and default config.
Relevant config:
show_fps 1 foreground_sleep_ms 5 background_sleep_ms 10 host_framerate_control 0 |
Some stats and readings:
stat(7) and CTRL-P: 60/60 stat(9) and show_fps: ~30 stat(1) and CTRL-P: ~0.3 CPU usage: ~7% GPU usage (3D): ~30% |
Soft/hardware:
PICO-8 v.0.2.2 [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=87885#p) |

A WIP where I'm experimenting with making my code as modular as possible for easy unique room creation.
No gameplay to speak of yet, just the ability to open doors, have a shadow in the door light and spawn doors through buttons.

I've seen a significant performance difference between the latest v0.2.2 and v0.2.1b.
For this particular cart, it runs significantly slower on the latest version when measured with a stop watch, but when using the stat(1), the system claims the opposite--i.e. that it's faster. (These are both being run from the .exe on Windows.)
Version stat(1) Stopwatch Timed v0.2.1b 285 30 seconds v0.2.2 219 8 minutes, 14 seconds |
I've included the cart for reference.

I started working on a new project and was wondering how i could rotate sprites and came up with this. It's not very efficient but once the rotation is done, the rotated sprite is cached in the sprite sheet. Please use it with care :)
I hope this can be useful to someone else too! Happy coding!

I think the game is in a good place to publish it as a WIP and get some feedback. My code is most likely very naive and inefficient, constructive criticism is welcome.
2021-03-05:
-Dialogue should not be accidentally skipped anymore
2021-02-25:
-More lenient hitboxes
-Phase 4
-Postgame dialogue, but transition from game to dialogue is a bit jarring and can be accidentally skipped. I'll make it smoother eventually.
-Changed some patterns, notably phase 1 which was too easy
2021-02-18:
-Added phase 3
-Swapped shooting and focusing buttons. It's more natural to shoot with X.
-Sound effects are now working as intended.
-Minor stuff was changed around.

Here's my demake/port/adaptation/whatever of Columns!
I wanted to make a falling-block puzzle game, but seemingly every gamedev and their dog has made Tetris so instead I went to my favourite Megadrive/Genesis puzzle game: Columns.
- Line up three or more jewels of the same colour, chain together combos for massive points
- Multi-gems, wildcards and obstacle blocks to spice up the game
- Remix of the classic Megadrive/Genesis music
- Customisable game options
- 5 tilesets including colour-blind-friendly 'Symbols' mode
1.02
- Made fall speed increase more smoothly
- Music: Off actually disables all the music in the game now

For reasons, I loaded up the IMSLP page for Bach's first cello suite yesterday and downloaded one of the scores - Shin-Itchiro Yokoyama's, I think it was - to transcribe into PICO-8.
I don't know if anyone on here has a dire need for more PICO-8 J.S. Bach beyond Gruber's arrangements of Bach's 2-Part Inventions from a couple years ago, but it was pretty rewarding to do and I like the results.
