updated 9/3/22: Improved encoders with automatic escape-sequence insertion and updated tutorial.
Since getting into Pico-8, I've enjoyed finding ways to optimize my code and fit a lot in a small space, and this has included making Tweetcarts. Recently, I've found ways to cram detailed sprite graphics into a tweet and have made various animated demos like these:
::_::cls()k=ˇ\2%5memset(26624,204,5^5)n=0for i=1,86do
v=ord("cS2C2Cr232$R$31b1CES2Kc32cKc2#2cK2S2c3K2C2c32KcC23nNfffff6%6565&E&%'575g'%ggggggggggg'",i)-35for j=0,v\16do
sset(n%8,n\8,v)n+=1end z=i%2sspr(0,z*(k*2+6),8,6-z*4,60,65-k\3+z*6)spr(32,i*8-ˇ%8-8,73,1,2)end
ˇ+=1flip()goto _ |
pal({-4,-5,15},1)::_::cls()for n=1,380do
sset(n%6,n\6,(ord("+%K%C&S2_$?$7(2_C%K.[2S$S$?$:(&2K-K&S2S$3&S$?$S&C-K&S2S$3&3V7/_#+%K%C&S23&307(2_C%K.[2S$S$3&:(&2K-K&S2S$S$3$?$S&C-K&S2S$?$?T7/_",n\3+1)-35)\4^(n%3)%4)

Octarine is a wand zapping roguelike.
With a variety of spells to learn and master, travel through the dungeon dimension and face great challenges
Inspiration from Cinqo Paus, Haque and Discworld.
Controls:
- Arrow keys to move,
- Z to aim, then Arrow keys to fire
- Z to reload a wand when empty (must be on a rune)
- X to change item
- Enter / Select to pause
Tips:
- All spells have a secondary tactical effect (stun, entangle or knock-back etc) not all of which are obvious.
- Stand on a rune to recharge an empty wand, or gain a heart
I'm revisiting the game to work on some updates, so I'm looking for some constructive criticism on what works and what doesn't.

--enemies
function make_enemies()
e1={}
e1.x=20
e1.y=10
e1.sprite=6
end
function move()
if e1.x >= 120 then move = false
if e1.x <= 10 then move = true
end
end
end
function move_enemies()
if move == true then e1.x = e1.x + 1
if move == false then e1.x = e1.x - 1
end
end
end
this code is not working it should work at the bigining it starts off true and when the enemy x is equile to 120 near the screen it turns to false making it go left

Hello!
I'm curious if there's any (undocumented) way to play music starting from an offset in the pattern like you can for sfx(). My end-goal is to cross-fade between two different variations of a track. You can figure out the current music state with stat(16-26) but I haven't found any way to either start the music from a specified offset/row or a place to poke memory to move the pointer for the current music row to another row. Let me know if there's a way!

Me again, sorry.
I have a table called ENEMY that holds... well enemies.
Every thing works as want so far apart from deleting from the table.
I have two enemies at the moment.
Number 1 is a snake.
Number 2 is a spider.
Then I have this to kill them off:
for en=1,#enemy do
-- this line below stops working
if box_hit(enemy[en].x,enemy[en].y) then
if enemy[en].mode=="patrole" then
plyr.hit_enemy = true
plyr.struck_by_x=enemy[en].x
end
if enemy[en].mode=="dead" then
plyr.hit_enemy = false
end
if enemy[en].mode=="pickup" then
plyr.hit_enemy = false
score+=enemy[en].score
del(enemy,enemy[en])
end
end
end |
If I kill the spider first, it works.
If I kill the sname first it throws an error attempt to index field '?' a nil value.
I put it down to the DEL line at the end.

You are now the ruler of a kingdom! Your job is to keep the people of the kingdom happy also while not going broke. You also don't want to make them too happy or get too rich or the emperor will have you executed!
You will be asked a series of question that you must answer yes or no to. Depending on your answer your gold and influence will either go up or down. Keep them balanced! Will you be able to get a good score?
key features:
-Just text. No sprites or graphics to look at just text!
-Some times the color of the text will change!
-The game will keep track of your hi score!
-There are like 10 questions the game will cycle through!
You can go play the game now... there isn't much else here to read.

This is my First PICO 8 project, Sphere buster.
It plays just like asteroids, press left or right to turn the ship, press Z to thrust, X to shoot, and hold down to activate shield.
you must destroy all enemies on the screen including spheres, saucers, and magnet missiles. after the regular wave, a bonus wave starts where you destroy blue aliens, get 3 different weapon power ups and shield recharger, and can't wrap around the screen. If you die in this wave, you automically pass to the next regular wave.
Every 5th wave features giant spheres.
you get a bonus life after every 1000 points.
Some tips :
-
Yellow saucers are deadly, especially after 5000 points. Move the ship and activate the shield wisely to survive.
-
manually pressing X is faster than holding to fire.
- the shield's energy decreases when the shield is collided with enemies or absorbed bullets. you can't use shield if the energy ran out.
Any feedbacks are welcome!

SEEKING THE BEAST II
I made a sequel to my first game ever "Seeking The Beast" from 2008.
You are trapped in a valley where a Beast has gone wild. It created havoc and it has to be slain.
My best time was 10:15 Minutes. Can anybody beat that?
Let me know what you think, and have a great day!
Update: Added a Speedrun-counter and explained the ending better 15.8.21

Hello all...
Would someone be kind enough to point me in the direction of where I should be looking to solve my screen boundary problem.
I'm slowly working on a scrolling platform game and all's working quite well. I have bad guys that bounce about when they get hit. I wanted to have these bouncing guys hit and bounce back from the screen edge when they collide rather than the map edge. Much like having a wall all around the area you're currently looking at.
I may be over thinking it but... when the screen scrolls to the left, for example, is the left most edge of the screen still 0 or is there some sort of display edge I should be looking into??
Thanks in advance and I hope this makes sense.
Cheers.

isol8: Build & Isolate
An original arcade game inspired by old-school games like Jezzball and Qix.
How to play
You must build horizontal and vertical walls in order to isolate the bouncing balls from each other. Once all balls are separated, you will proceed to the next level. If a ball collides with your wall while building, you lose a life. An additional ball is added each level, up to a maximum of 15 balls. Continue playing until you run out of lives and post your highest level reached in the comments below!
