I purchased pico-8 about 10 days ago and i still haven't received it.
I sent 3 emails and got no reply. Now this is a second post about my purchase
on the forums. Did my money just go down the drain or what

Hi I'm trying to make an online high score leaderboard for my game and i was just about to implement this solution: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=42526 for http requests to external servers when i found the scoresub() command according to this post: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=56856#p it was supposed to be implemented in version 0.2.0 upwards but the command doesn't seem todo anything nor can i find any documentation on it has this feature been delayed/cancelled or am i missing something here? Also I don't know if this is relevant but on the first usage of the command it says can not connect to scores host

Cardoom

Cardoom is my second attempt at making a game in PICO-8. I'd say it turned out a lot better than blaskjack

You control a knight who has nothing better to do than raid ancient tombs that house emperors of whatever kingdoms...FOR MONEY. Provided by the one and only SUPER EMPEROR of GLUG (your second earth). You keep earning money and buying cool fruits and pointy things until the time comes to Kill The Super Emperor himSelf. Should you defeat the SUPER EMPEROR...you will find that dead people cannot give you money. (once i find a good way to go about it defeating the SUPER EMPEROR OF GLUG will give you no money because SAD) So you walk back and beg on the streets for more money. JUST KIDDING, you kill ALL THE EMPERORS IN THE WORLD until you have to travel back to earth in the new world to kill kim jong un or whoever you feel like ruthlessly murdering with your sticks and apples.

Hi, I'm messing around with exporting binaries and stumbled upon this.

Exporting html works fine.
Running it as admin doesn't solve it.
Why could be the cause?

Thanks, have a good day.

Snacks and spikes are falling from the sky!

How to Play

You, Aspen, must run around dodging the falling spike balls and scoffing the delectable foodstuffs.

  • Eat 5 snacks to clear a round. Try to grab 5 of the same grub in a row for a perfect bonus!

  • Keep an eye out for the rare heart and star power-ups. Snag a star to gain temporary invincibility for the round or capture a heart for an extra life!

  • Get hurt by the spike balls and you lose a life. Get hit enough times though, and your game is over!

This is just a simple test cartridge I made so I can test for screen tearing. It draws vertical lines that scroll around every frame. If the lines are completely straight, there's no screen tearing. If the lines "break" at a certain point, there is screen tearing.

After copying some music from another cartridge, the enabled channel buttons broke. The editor displayed them as off while everything else thought they were on, resulting in the "off" channels playing their default 1/2/3/4 sound effects.

Clicking them in the editor turned them off everywhere and put them back to normal.

You are Qent, elderly self-proclaimed warrior of glory and renown. Your morning routine has just been interrupted by the shouting of the Town Crier, who is calling for heroes to come to the aid of Kerth, a small nearby hamlet that has just come under attack. But unlike younger, more foolhardy would-be heroes, you know that a true hero does not rush into a situation before one is properly prepared and ready ...

==========

This is my first PICO-8 cart, and marks the start of my foray into making graphical games. All my previous games have been text-based, so it's been a joy to try something new!

Hello, i've playing with pico-8 for quite a long time and is great, i really like this piece of software

the issue: when i try to play two sounds at the same time using the sfx command, despite specifying different channels in the parameter, one sound cuts the other, for example:

sfx(0, 0, 0, 1) --plays only the first note from the first sfx page on channel 0
sfx(0, 1, 2, 1) --plays only the third note from the first sfx page on channel 1

the first sfx page:

(result: the sounds overlaps eachother, instead of mixing them despite being on different channels)

but if the second sound i'm trying to play comes from a different sfx page, the sounds mixes without any problem

sfx(0, 0, 0, 1) --plays only the first note from the first sfx page on channel 0
sfx(1, 1, 0, 1) --plays only the first note from the second sfx page on channel 1

the second sfx page:

Hey!

I discovered PICO-8 about a month ago and am blown away with what everybody has created, so I got a RG351V device to play them better. I'm no tech wiz - I don't even know coding - so I had to teach myself a couple things in order to get the recommended firmware (351ELEC) running on the device.

I was having such a great time playing a few P8 games on my RG351V, and then I started up the game PICOWARE. I'd start the game's cutscene, and then after that...a command line popped up that essentially froze my system. So I had to hard restart. And then I tried playing the game again, but the command line came back up after the cutscene. Now PICO-8 won't boot up at all - not for Splore, and not for any cart file. Here are all the things I’ve tried in order to get PICO-8 working again:

  • remove the PICO-8 files from my SD card, then put them back in again.

  • delete any PICO-8 files that I didn’t initially add; files that the system had to create.

  • re-flash 351ELEC on my smaller card and then re-install PICO-8 from there.

All of these things I have tried, yet I still get the red screen pictured below. I even took a screenshot of my mac with the failed bootup in text form. Again, I'm not a coder, which is why I'm bringing it here. Everything else about the system still works, thankfully, but I'd love to continue playing P8 games too! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

My submission for the O2A2 VN Jam (Only One of Any Asset), a short visual novel about Lilith meeting the tentacle monster Medusa.
This is prequel to my previous game Medusa a short SHMUP about protecting Medusa as you escape.
Many thanks to dragonsbutalsorabbits for drawing the character sprite at very short notice before the jam deadline.

A chilling survival horror experience awaits you in this game about keeping a ball up by bouncing it with a stick that spins as you move it.

Press Left/Right to move the stick AND spin it.

How long can you delay the inevitable?

BLASKJACK

After some tinkering around with the engine and it's programming language, I've decided to make a legitimate game, and what better to do than make a remake of one of my favorite card games: blackjack (no i am not a gambling addict).

Of course this is my first real project, and no real guide was followed so it's bound to be messy here and there. I just advise you to not look at the code and report bugs if you find any.

Hello,

I want to put voxatron and some carts on my arcade cabinet which is not always online. Is there a commandline parameter to run a cartridge saved on my pc directly ? I can't seem to find any reference to this.

Thanks

This is a suggestion, not a bug obviously.

The ability to toggle on a metronome tick/beep every 4 beats in the sfx editor would be quite helpful for composing tunes.
