Is there any way to do the following?
t = {
"key 1" = "foofoo",
"key 2" = "barbar"
} |
We can't use quoted keys when defining a table, but we can use them when adding elements.
t = {}
t["key 1"] = "foofoo"
t["key 2"] = "barbar" |
Is this "just how things are?" because it would really be beneficial to be able to do it all inline and build out a complex table structure without having to isolate out special cases and insert them as a separate sequence of setter calls.
(the example above uses spaces in the key intentionally, where it might be a substring paired with its substitution or maybe I just want to make it very clear in the definition that some of the keys represent specific words, like vocabulary words; don't get me wrong, I know lots of workarounds, but sometimes the workarounds are a drag, especially when it looks like we're so close to just having a simple way of doing things)

Here's a visual mod of Celeste 2 I made yesterday. The barrel is also a little bit faster than Lani, but besides that, not much is different for Barri.

Oh High! is an endless-climber were you trying to climb as high as you can.
To make it both accessible and tricky you only control the bird with one button.
Good luck!

Here's a quick and dirty cart that will merge 2 PNGs into 1.
Assumptions: Use black, white, with Pink for transparent.
Drag first image onto cart.
Drag second image onto cart.
Output is saved in the sprite sheet.
This will only work on desktop pico8.

I present to everyone a very snappy Dr Mario clone called Pico Pill. My goal was to code an action puzzle game that I want to play with tight controls, and I think you'll enjoy it too if you give it a try!
If you have prior experience with Dr Mario, you'll feel right at home while noticing some significant differences at the same time. Instead of choosing level and speed, the game is a progression of 30 levels (no speed selection), and the speed on each level progresses from very slow to blazingly fast.
I'm never sure if/when I'll be improving and polishing my games for another release, but feedback and ideas are always welcome! Enjoy!

On my looking glass 15.9, the game renders off center and overall wrong if the monitor DPI is not set to 100%. Picture is of 150% DPI, which windows defaulted to for the display when I plugged it in.
I'm going to wager that this happens on the portrait as well, but I don't have mine yet.

Welcome to Galacticon. You're a space fighter pilot in a fierce uphill battle, pitted against hundreds of alien invaders who have shattered your home planet. How many aliens can you shoot down to avenge your home?
Arrow keys to move, X to shoot.
You can adjust the number of enemies to spawn both in the title screen and after dying.
This is my first game, so it's nothing special, but I hope you enjoy it!
Have fun!

I know this might sound stupid, but I don't know why the demo uses 4 cocktail sorts to sort through all points. Is there a good reason or is this just a result of experimentation?

An IST game that I made for my assignment, meant to show off my abilities and what I have learnt throughout the term. Definitely not a completed game

Developer Notes
This game was originally created for the first Eggplant Show community game jam (https://itch.io/jam/eggplant-podcast-community-game-jam). I developed everything using an object-oriented structure that resulted in a pretty solid prototype, but ultimately chewed through tokens pretty quickly. I plan to revisit this game in the future in order to reclaim tokens, add more enemies, and possibly bosses and a high score system as well.
The expanded source code for the game is available on Github (https://github.com/kevinthompson/void-protocol-p8).
