A short evercore based mod I made with a 2 hour time limit featuring 1x2 rectangular screens.

Edit: fixed the title screen bug.

This was my first attempt at using PICO-8. I tried to make a very simple game after hastily finishing Dylan Bennett's Cave Diver tutorial. A few parts of the code are remnants from that.

Known Bugs:

• Blocks were supposed to have more variant sizes going all the way from top to bottom, and not having an average height to the middle of the screen, but making it so the blocks always generate with enough space among them so the player can avoid them was taking more time than I was willing to spend on this game at this time.
• Sometimes game is unbeatable because top and bottom blocks don't leave enough space in between them.

Hi,

I'm just getting started and I wanted to know-how:
1) To create a custom player
2) How the scripting system works
3) How and where can I find the demo cartridges in Linux to open them and see how they are made and work

Thanks a lot hope to hear from you soon

So, I've been working on a web based MIDI to PICO-8 converter for a while now. It was going pretty well, but today I introduced a bug, which totally corrupted the SFX data. The input was the traditional melody, Ghost Of John. The output was this:

[sfx]

Surprisingly, I like the way it sounds. I guess I composed some original music here, but it was completely accidental. I guess if you make enough mistakes, some of them are bound to turn out ok.

Now I just need to figure out what kind of game goes with this soundtrack. Any suggestions? Feel free to use this in your own projects if it fits.

Hello, I'm Going to Buy Pico-8, And I wanted to ask, Does Pico-8 run on a Raspberry Pi Zero W https://buyzero.de/collections/raspberry-pi-zero-kits/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w?variant=38399156114.
And if yes is there a way to make Pico-8 the "Operating System" so that it starts when I Booting up the Pc

Still a work in progress, made for the GMTK Game Jam 2021, but I failed to submit on time...

I've started with pico-8 and game dev recently, so as to learn how to do stuff I decided to add features to the tutorial game. It still is not "complete", since I want to add a few more features before stopping.

This is the second of the two little utilities I've made, the first being stream-ecs (in a separate post.)
The github project page.

prot-oo

This one's a bit more straight-forward. Prototype based inheritance/OOP. It basically just defines the base object and a few methods.

Use create to use an object as a prototype for some other object:

dog = object:create() -- use the base object as prototype
dog.sound = 'woof!'
function dog:talk()
  print(self.sound)
end

cat = dog:create() -- use the dog object as prototype
cat.sound = 'meow'

dog:talk() -- woof!
cat:talk() -- meow

You can create classes (well, not really, because prototypes, but sort of) by defining a method called init and using the new method.

vec2D = object:create()
function vec2D:init(x, y)
  self.x = x
  self.y = y
end
function vec2D:length()
  return sqrt(self.x^2 + self.y^2)
end

v = vec2D:new(3, 4)

I picked up a copy of PICO-8 a few months ago on a whim and have been playing around with it, following a tutorial here and there, etc. Really enjoying it and I love seeing the creativity of people in the community.

I have yet to try my hand at an actually complete game and, as I'm basically infinitely distractable, may never actually accomplish it. In the meantime, to learn some of the ins and outs of Lua, with which I was not previously familiar, I've combined two of my favourite software writing pastimes: re-inventing wheels and making tiny utilities.

In that spirit, I give you:

• stream-ecs (267 tokens), a (sort of) reactive stream based entity-component-system with automatic entity queue management, and
• prot-oo (72 tokens), prototype based object-oriented programming (in a separate post)

I'll describe them a bit below and there's more info at the github project page. Each tool has its own README describing it in detail.

Two functions to draw outlined sprites (with some help from kreyk29!)

Regular version that does smooth outlines:

function outspr(sp,x,y,w,h,flpx,flpy,out)
 for c=0,15 do
  pal(c,out)
 end
 spr(sp,x+1,y,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x-1,y,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x,y+1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x,y-1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 pal()
 spr(sp,x,y,w,h,flpx,flpy)
end

Another version that does square outlines:

function outspr(sp,x,y,w,h,flpx,flpy,out)
 for c=0,15 do
  pal(c,out)
 end
 spr(sp,x-1,y,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x+1,y,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x,y+1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x,y-1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x-1,y-1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x+1,y-1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x-1,y+1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 spr(sp,x+1,y+1,w,h,flpx,flpy)
 pal()
 spr(sp,x,y,w,h,flpx,flpy)
end

dracus17's Mouse Interface

So I was making a project which needed some mouse support, and I decided to make an interface that was universally applicable. After some work to generalize the code, I created this example to share with you people.

The Interface

Usage is pretty simple, tab 1 in the cart above contains all one needs to be able to implement this, so just copy it over to a new tab in your cart.

Insert init_mouse in your _init, with a table containing your interactable elements (we'll come back to this table). update_mouse and draw_mouse are quite self-explanatory.

The mouse calls the function mouse_down whenever you left click, and mouse_up when released (I left right and middle clicking out to support people on mobile or other platforms where mouses have less buttons, but they're easy enough to implement if needed).

Here is a little educational game I made for my 6th-grade students. You solve algebraic equations by shooting UFOs with fireworks! (The project started as a firework generator based on Doc Robs' particle system, and my students asked for a math game).

Enjoy!
