<THIS IS NOT A GAME it's my first step Studying pico-8>
And this is my first post on Pico-8 community too. I am a Senior 3D Artist. I am a maker and i create my own handhelds (based on RaspberryPi)-You can search for CompactPiArcade over instagram.
Not sure if i need to flag this code/cart as a Work In Progress... Sorry if I did anything wrong. I am learning how to post and to make part of all this.
This is my first steps (baby steps) and first attempt EVER doing something that looks like a "game". It's FAR from a game at this point, but it's a start.
Pico-8 is new for me, and i am not a coder. I am a 3DArtist, so everything here is PRETTY BASIC and probably messy. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Back Again And Brand New
Enjoy the fast paced and addiction fun of Pyoro! A minigame, featured on WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and rereleased on the Nintendo DSi as Bird and Beans, has now been remade for you to play for free here on Pico-8. Play as Pyoro, the pint-size parakeet with a penchant for plummeting pintos. Hold Z or X to extend his elastic tongue to catch the beans from midair.

Hello! This is my second Celeste Classic mod, this one is a little longer. It includes several screens modeled off of counterparts from newleste's Forsaken City.

Basically the title.
info([cart])--returns tokens,chars,compressed_size of [cart] or the current cart if given none |
This could be useful for people who are creating carts using printh() and such, to detect if the cart is able to be run before load()ing it:
tokens,chars,compressed=info("cart.p8")
if(tokens<8192 and chars<65536)load("cart.p8") |
What do you all think?
Hi,
First, I'm a noob regarding Linux and alikes. I've been trying for last 24 hours to make my Picade (a small arcade bartop by Pimoroni, running on Raspberry Pi 4) start into Pico-8 in Splore mode. It boots in the desktop and I usually launch Pico-8 manually in the console with:
~/pico8/pico8 -splore |
(my folder is pico8, not pico-8)
Works well, figured I could as well make Raspberry OS do it for me.
How naive.
Followed tens of tutorials, with no success. To the most, it looks like Pico-8 launches for a second then closes. Feels like this because there's a black screen opening that closes 1 sec later. I've made a .sh file with:
echo 'Launching Pico-8...' /home/pi/pico8/pico8_dyn -splore echo 'Pico-8 closed' |
with 'pico8_dyn' in place of 'pico8' if that matters. If I run it on console it works with the added echos on start and closing of Pico-8.
Then I made a autostart file at .config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart:
@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=95380#p) |

This is such a big update to my first program (picod20) that I decided it deserves to be its own thing. This has 7 standard RPG dice, as well as a small HP tracker.
INSTRUCTIONS
Z = Reroll
Left/Right = -/+ 1 HP
Up/Down = +/- 10 HP
CURRENT UPDATE
Fixed spacing on single digit results
Fixed unwanted scanlines over edge of HP tracker
Cleaned up some code
OLD UPDATES
Added sound

DERAILED!
WORK IN PROGRESS
Derailed! is a 2-player demake of Unrailed!, a co-op game where you build tracks to keep a train on its rails. Communication is vital!
How to play
Chop wood and mine stone, and store those into the storage wagon. Use the crafted rails to extend the train track until the next station! Have fun!
Controls
Arrow keys: move
O/X : action (pick up/place items)
Stuff left to implement:
- More wagons
- Wagon upgrades
- Infinite worls! (Roguelite!)
- Gameplay improvements
