I am working on a Pico game with some Backyard Baseball-esque mechanics. However, I would like to work in Twine for some more advanced dialogue options.

So the question: Is it possible for a Pico game to communicate with other embedded HTML games in the same webpage. Specifically, I am hoping to embed a Twine game, side by side with the Pico game and have the gameplay switch back and forth.

Would I be able to accomplish this via GPIO? I have found the documentation to be confusing and a little thin, focused mainly Raspberry Pi implementation. I think I would need to send a message to the embedding website (a page on my own website) and then send it to the other game? Is that even possible in HTML5.

Alternatively, I have considered the games to somehow "call" each other from inside their respective HTML/JS code, replacing the other game temporarily. Again, I am not quite familiar enough with HTML/JS/CSS to know where to begin here. Thanks in advance for any help

KUMAMINE(https://twitter.com/kumamine) created the original character Denwa Neko (電話猫)/Shigoto Neko (仕事猫).

I made this in a week starting with 0 coding knowledge. It's not great. but it works... sort of.

At some point I may revisit it. Or I'll just start something new... who knows.

PICO's pretty cool.

Ok so this is extremely minor, but it's weird.
The pico-8 homepage always pulls up some random starred games on the left and right of a main little screen right? ok, so without selecting a game, when you press play it goes to SlipWays. I have no idea why.
Just thought I'd say something. Hoping for an explanation maybe?

This is a work in progress.

I have created a marching line of invaders that move and animate left and right, dropping down a few rows each time they reach the opposite edge of the screen, It's working great!

So then I added a function that will fire a shot from one of the aliens but when I iterate through the table I always get the last one in the table for my x, y starting position of the invaders shot.

Is there a way to iterate through a table picking a random entry to generate some variables from? I have tried several things but can't seem to figure out how to do this as we only have: add, all, count, del, foreach and pairs.

Thanks,

Brian

I just installed PICO-8 on my Mac, and I'm not sure how to right click. When I try, the result is the same as a left click. I've tried holding down Ctrl, Option, Cmd, Shift, but none of those works. Is there a system setting I need to change somewhere?

I just created my account. now it's time to buy the thing.

Ladies and Germs,

I made this game 2 or 3 weeks ago and I wanted to wait and add more stuff but I think its best to share it as it is right now since I've lost my train of thought.

Does anyone want to see a Meal from Hell 2?

Warm regards,

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.

Hi I purchased Pico-8 a few minutes ago. when I purchased it I did not have an account. I just made an account which uses the same E-Mail I used to purchase Pico-8. I can't figure out how to access the program used to make carts. could someone help me.

WIP tower defense cartridge

V1: Added more levels, enemies, fixed some bugs, improved selection screen and added 2 players mode

I don't have the ability to make games but I have some ideas.

1: Dad Jokes. The game would give you random dad jokes and whoever knows the most gets the high score! Basic game but still a fun concept.
2: this one will either sound dumb or stupid or both, but ill shoot. A squirrel simulator? it's always funny to watch them miserably fail or succeed in raiding bird feeders. So why not make a game where u are the squirrel? Birdfeeders could be levels or something... again idk how this sounds.

Just some ideas. thnx.

So I am kinda skilled at PICO-8 but I have no clue for ideas for games and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for games they would be willing to tell, they don't have to be good or complete I really just need some inspiration for games

EDIT: Ok I finally put the image in, it was in the wrong format for Lexaloffle... if anyone happens to be back on this post after all this time, hello, please enjoy my art :)

Here's a drawing I made of Lani from Celeste Classic 2 (or at least my interpretation of her from the 45 pixels I had to work with lol).

I love this game so much, it marvelously builds off of Celeste Classic's tight controls and tough platforming to create something totally new and exciting. It's simple at first but offers so much depth later on, just like the other two iterations of Celeste. And the music is incredible as well (as expected from Lena Raine). I know I'll be replaying this endlessly to try to speedrun it just like I did with Celeste and Celeste Classic. Congrats on Celeste's 3 year anniversary! @noel
