Earlier today, I learned that pressing ctrl+p while running a cart brings up a performance monitor (and something else I learned on accident: pressing ctrl+p in the commandline/text editor lets you use the tiny characters; this isn't documented in the pico-8 fandom wiki but is on pico-8's changelog in the manual.)
I booted up one of my carts and opened the performance monitor. (It runs at a smooth 60fps, it's not very complicated at all). For fun, I changed the cls(1) to print("\^c1"). To my great surprise, the performance monitor indicated that it did this ever so slightly quicker than cls(1). So I made a new cartridge (function _update60()for _=1,1000do print("\^c1") end) and it ran smoothly, never going over the virtual processor limit. I switched the print() to the respective cls() and it was almost 2 times more resource intensive, constantly over the virtual limit, and running at an extremely choppy ~1fps.
conclusion
I'm not sure how this would be useful unless you're calling cls() an awful lot of times, as it takes quite a few extra characters. Even with the minor improvement of using ? rather than print() is small, as you still need a newline on either side. If you really wanted to, you could just redefine cls() to simply be something like this:

A small 3d platformer for PICO-8
This is just a small, simple project I have made in 2 days. It isn't much outside of the 3d engine, and even then, the 3d is pretty basic. I used the tutorial provided here to create the 3d engine, except I have adapted it for use in PICO-8. This engine mostly works, except for camera rotation.
Play the game using your arrow keys, and guide the blue cube to the green tile for each level. Avoid falling off as well as the red tiles. You may encounter several other types of tiles which will help you reach the goal for each level. If you do not know how to complete a level, the level's name will usually give you a hint.

According to the PICO-8 0.2.2c manual, "To remove an item at a particular index, use deli"
However, this does not seem to work with string or float indices. (Only tested on macOS Mojave)
The desired result can be achieved using

Update 2.0: Debrix, a Debris Remix
- A complete overhaul of all sprites and special effects.
- added the Pliso Miso splash screen.
Enjoy!
Update v1.2:
- added Achievements (press down arrow on title screen to check)
Update v1.1:
- (hopefully) fixed a bug that displayed 0 seconds instead of 120 seconds after time out.
Original Post
This one is just a small shoot'em-up (shmup) with a little twist or as I like to call it: A Shmup Short Story.
The rules are simple:
- Try to survive 120 seconds.
- Shoot debris to raise bonus.
- Beat the hi-score.
That's all.
Shoot enemies, juggle debris, collect coins, survive. Juggling debris will raise the bonus you get for destroying enemies. Every time your bonus is raised by 50 points all bullets on the screen will turn into gold items. Collect those for additional 75 points each.

Hello!
First time poster here :)
I recently recreated Age of Empires 2 in pixelart using the Pico8 palette.
It just started as an excercise in downscaling, recreating a few of the buildings, but I ended up adding more and more stuff
I would really like to make this playable but I have no clue about programming :..(
So I´m asking is anyone willing to join me on this!?
Don´t really know how the mechanics could work but I imagine something turn based
Heres what it looks like so far:
and a quick mockup how the GUI could look in 128x128px
Cheers everybody!

Puzzle game heavily based on Android games like ENERGY or Infinity Loop where the cartridge generates random puzzles and you must connect energy sources with batteries. The great thing is, you can play it forever! The cartridge will always generate a new puzzle.
Controls: Arrows to move and Z to swap electric cables.
