This is a very early version of P8OS(v0.2 as of now), a very creatively named operating system built on the one Pico-8 already has. I'm trying to do what the original Windows did, which is piggybacking on an existing framework and building off of that.
It really isn't much just yet, but here's a few lists for those who like them.
Existing features:
- Mouse and keyboard reading(really not much to brag about)
- Removed v0.2: A system clock on the menu bar
- A basic menu bar
- A (yet nonfunctional) app menu you can toggle with Z(closest to the Windows button)
- A very clever way of storing program names
- v0.2: An (also nonfunctional) task menu you can toggle with X(next to the app button)

About
Pico Off Road is a racing game inspired by the classic Ironman Super Off Road. There are 5 car colors to choose from (equal by parameters), three tracks that can be played in both directions. Player can choose from two modes - single race or tournament. There is one "hidden" mode: single race with 0 opponents can be considered as a practice.
Menu controls
- Z = confirm
- X = back
Driving controls
- arrows = turning, throttle, reverse
- Z = nitro
- X = throttle (for controllers if you can't press left/right + forward at the same time)
Tech
Pico Off Road uses combination of 2D sprites, 3D height map and real-time rendered meshes (cars).

A version of Shenzhen Solitaire. I'm calling it "40" since there's already another version posted.
Use arrows to move cursor around, X to select a card or stack of cards then X to drop, O to deselect.

Update 13-03-2021: New copy-paste and flood fill tools added.
Introducing: Sprite Animator
SPRITE ANIMATOR is a tool for creating simple looped animations and exporting the resulting data to a sprite sheet. Here's a quick guide on how to get started...
Draw the frames of your animation in the canvas. The canvas can be resized and navigated with the controls in the corners. Add and remove frames using the +/- near the track bar. You can even draw into an animation while it's playing!

A fun PICO-8 cover of the song "From the Gallows" by I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME.
It also comes with a simple visualization modeled after the cover of their Razzmatazz album, courtesy of Tellexx.
The original song is here. (Content warning: reference to suicide in the lyrics.)

A game for the one hour game jam 306. The theme was "neglected". Everything made in about an hour.

This was inspired by u/TimeLoad's URL post, and my compiler is heavily based on his.
We all know how bad Pico8's default editor is, so I made a tool that would (hopefully) help your Pico 8 workflow.
I have the files + a detailed record on URL my GitHub.
Basically, compiler.py takes the .lua files and the assets.p8 from a project folder and compiles them to a cart (final.p8), export.py exports a given project to HTML and JS, and pico8label.py adds a label to a given cart (used in compiler.py).
If you have any feedback or you found any bugs please message me and I'll try my best to fix it!

This is a Pico-8 demake of the infamous flight to Hutton Orbital in Elite Dangerous. Originally, it is a space station 0,22 lightyears away from its star. It takes over one and a half hour in-game time to reach it. Players either hate or love it. I for myself love it and decided to make this little game about it. But don't worry:
You don't have to fly over an hour. The T-5 hauler featured in this demake is fitted with the lates in thruster technology. This baby will take you to Hutton Minimal in about 15 minutes!
Hint: You can turn your thruster on and off. Preferably you turn it on if you want to reach your destination. You only really need to turn it off once you are there. But remember to do so in time or you miss Hutton Minimal. The T-5 has a really good thruster but its turning cycle is a big mess (yes, you have to start over).

Finally, track four! This is a short one.
It sounds like something from a trailer so there's one use idea!
If you want to translate the symbols, the language is Korean(I'm not Korean but it looks cool so...). Of course, if you already knew Korean, you would know that it was in Korean and you would understand the Korean since you already knew Korean. Y e a h . Anyways, enjoy!

I'd like to learn from some of the carts here in this forum by loading them into Designer. Is that possible?

Hey guys,
This was slightly based on the NES version.
I wanted to start learning Pico-8 and found motivation in the fact that my fiancee loves Tetris, so yeah, another Tetris game was made ^^
I don't know if I'll be able to create sound effects for it because I lack the knowledge, but who knows, maybe someday in the future?
Anyway, if you play it, I hope you have a good time.

Toki Pona tool
OK, so this project has been completely revamped from the original. In addition to cleaning up the dictionary, it now also includes lessons that will teach you how to speak Toki Pona.
Features:
- 20 chapters that teach you everything you need to know to communicate in Toki Pona
- Dictionary revised for clarity and useability
- New UI and color palette. Looks nicer than ever
Enjoy!

Is it possible to print things to the console?
Also, how do you reference objects in a script?

Boy has it been a full year since the last version, boy time sure does fly. I plan to add smaller graphical updates for now but in the near future I plan on revamping the old code and add more settings and customization, hopefully. For now v1.1 has a auto pick option in the settings under the "random colors" option for single player.

Student asked about how to make random doors spawn in a room.
I used emitter to emit inventory items and then have doors check for inventory item id.
I added a bit of a gameplay so it makes more sense and works as a game a bit better.
Will try to record tutorial later.
