SOLAR BLASTER: CHALLENGE STAGE
The Earth is under attack from the invading alien war machine! Take control of the Solar Blaster fighter ship and strike back!
Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage is an action packed space shooter where you’ve got 2 minutes to get the high score. Destroy as many enemy waves as you can within the time limit, collect power ups like rapid fire and spread shot and cause massive destruction with your 3 super bombs.
This game is based on the 2 minute ‘caravan’ shooter format from classic PC Engine games. I wanted to create a simple, fun shooter that was easy to pick up and play and that players would want to keep coming coming back to again and again.

introducing mushroom maker, the most convenient way to create and share your own custom mushroom! this is more of a toy than a game, but I hope you all enjoy it and have fun creating your own personalized mushrooms.
here's a few examples to show what is possible and hopefully spark your imagination:
posting the mushrooms you've made in this thread or elsewhere is more than encouraged, and ditto for any questions or feedback. likewise, I'm on twitter as sol_foxie if you wanna follow or contact me there! thanks for reading, and happy mushroom making!

Hangman game I made for a friend. Music and sfx needs improvement, as well as more phrases. I plan on adding categories at some point too, but for now I think this version is good enough to upload :)

I made this little generator to quickly create monsters for the ttrpg Animon Story. In the future, I want to add ways to generate monsters of different levels.

Heavily inspired by this
A Master System/Game Gear sound chip emulator in Pico8 using the PCM channel. Features 4 songs from SOR1&2 for the Game Gear (use left/right to select)
How it works:
VGM files are logs of register writes. I wrote a program to decode them, save what the reg settings were every 60th of a second, and RLE compress them into strings. The sound chip is basic enough to write a simple emulator for Pico8.
Limitations:
- Not really an audio guy, may still be glitches
- Looping only goes back to the start of the tune, rather than part-way-through as in some songs. Probably would need to decompress the songs to pico8 memory to do that, instead of my "clever" on-the-fly RLE decoding

Objective:
Destroy the enemy red slime by slamming bullets back to it.
Controls:
- arrow keys/d-pad: move the green slime around avoiding red bullets
- z key: every 10 seconds you can jump and slam down on bullets within a radius around you to send them back to the enemy

If I'm in tab 0 and press ctrl-f to search for, say "world" because I want to change it to "universe", ctrl-g will help me find all the other instances of "world" in tab 0.
Then I switch to tab 1 and want to do the same thing.
I hit ctrl-g... nothing. I have to press ctrl-f and type my search again.
It would be great if ctrl-g remembered my search term even when I switch tabs :)

I'm currently setting up a pi-based arcade cabinet with pico8, running through emulationstartion on retropie. I've got pico8 working sucessfully, with the exception that i cannot quit pico8 without a keyboard connected.
Looking at this thread here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28629, it seems that from version 0.1.11 the "menu" button should bring up a menu from the splore home, which you can then quit pico8 from. I assume this menu is the one brought up when the esc key is pressed. This doesn't work for me, the menu button lets you exit a game to return to splore, but does not let you shutdown splore itself. In the main splore menu the menu button functions as a select button. The only way to quit pico8 is with the esc key, not feasible for me as I don't wish to have a keyboard attached to the machine.
I am currently using PICO-8 v0.2.2c on both my computer and the pi, and both exhibit this same behaviour.
Has this feature been removed? Is the function of the menu key configured somewhere?

I noticed on both my raspberry pi 3 and my raspberry pi zero w this evening that after exiting PICO-8 having run certain games (in particular, my cart Mad Wizard) the terminal is filled with the text:
targetcount=0 |
I also noticed this same game stuttering a little bit where I don't remember it stuttering before, and I'm guessing it is due to this console output. Unremoved debug print perhaps?

Straight from the laboratory of Professor von Stroopwafel is a modest proposal to solve global climate change. Enjoy a lighthearted romp through a speculative future. It even has bells and whistles. Happy Earth Day, everyone.
Game Play
Catch falling scoops of ice cream and toppings to fulfill as many orders as possible before the timer runs out.
Controls
Press the X key to advance to the next screen.
Left and right keys move the cone.
Use the Z key at any time to see the ice cream order. Press Z again to dismiss it. The timer is always running so try not to look at the order too long or too often.

In the 0.2.2 release, zep made a small tool for creating custom fonts:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=41544 (search for "Custom Fonts")
It's a great tool, but if you only have a font snippet (and no longer have the spritesheet), it's hard to edit that font again. So, I extended the tool to also support font importing!
You can get my font tool from the pico-8 console:
LOAD #FONTER |
Instructions on how to use the tool are in tab 0 of the cart. happy fonting!
