Hayo! i've been working at teaching myself game programming with pico-8!
i'm a huge fan of this program and it's community.
here is my first attempt at cart sharing. nothing super crazy, but learning about sine waves and stuff.
thanks for looking!

I am just now getting into Retroarch for my cellphone, Galaxy A01 Rev 3.0, and understanding how to configure it for different gaming systems like NES and PS1.
One of the systems it supports is Pico-8, apparently an early version.
Yet I'm not seeing any way to port modern Pico-8 to it, 0.2.4.
Is there a way ?

I recently updated my iphone to OS 15, which changed some Safari browser behaviors. The title bar can optionally be at the bottom, and there's a new gesture (flick up) that can hide the title bar. For some reason, this will move just the D-pad and buttons on the BBS up and down on the screen during normal gameplay (e.g. using the d-pad to play.) This makes it pretty much impossible to play anything on the BBS unfortunately.
Oddly enough this doesn't seem to be an issue with direct html exports hosted on my own site, so it's likely BBS-specific. I don't know web coding but maybe there's something to do with the embedding or frame size.
I did try changing Safari settings (such as moving the title bar back up) and disabling accessibility gestures in the OS, but none of this helps, unfortunately.
Hopefully there's some easy solution with the .bbs page layout? The Sisyphean toil of keeping things working in browsers continues :( Thanks for looking!

I joined the itch.io 'Secret Santa Jam' this year, where you get anonymously paired with a random stranger and create a small game for them based on a letter about their interests.
Part of my giftee's prompt was "I like playing games that make me think and involve some kind of strategy e.g. card games like Magic the Gathering [...] I am a huge football fan. I support Manchester United in England and Borussia Dortmund in Germany. I have a rubbish Windows laptop, so any game that can run in browser works best for me.".
I let inspiration guide me from there and here's the small puzzle / tactics game I came up with.
Sadly, there are no sound effects or background music as I ran out of time and wanted to ensure I gave them something playable by the deadline, but maybe I'll come back to it some day...

Update 020322
- Previously, extra lives were given at 200/400/600/800/1000 points. Now the first extra life is given at 300, and then every 400 points with no upper limit. The player can keep up to 8 lives.
- Cutscene intervals are extended, appearing at every 1000 pts.
- High score cap is removed.
- And while at it, a little more embellishment on the title screen.
I wanted to go to bed, but somehow my brain thought of this change, and I couldn't fall asleep without letting this out of my system by implementing it.
Update 022020
- Slight revision to the text to tie in with its plot sequel Bomba Cum Laude.

Happy Holidays, everyone! This cartridge is my addition to the 2021 PICO-8 Advent Calendar, which you should also check out if you haven't already!
Controls
- LEFT/RIGHT: Slow down or speed up. It is vital to get the right speed for some jumps
- O (Z/C): Jump. You can get more height by going fast and/or holding the button longer.
- X: To restart after crashing.
This game gets reasonably tricky; especially from level 3. But if you can reach the end, you'll get a simple ending along with your total time and number of restarts. The randomish elements in the game (you'll see what I mean) are actually deterministic, so it's possible to form strategies and optimise your time, if that's your cup of tea.

I'm trying to make a tentacle using sin().
I want the base (the top circle) to be static, and the wiggle of the tentacle to get stronger until it reaches the tip (the bottom circle).
So far I have only achieved a pendulum
I'm not that good with math so I'm not sure about how to do it
here's my code
function _init() length=20 x=64 y=40 end function _draw() cls() for i=0,length do circfill(x+sin(time())*i,y+i*4,length-i,14) end end |

Here's a little mod I made of Celeste Classic for Christmas. It's a sequel to the last mod I made. I hope you like it :)

This is the story of a hard working Christmas elf. I was never told their name. I call them Blinky. They had one last task to complete late one Christmas Eve: String some lights, plug them in, and connect them to the finial atop the tree. Easy for a smart elf like Blinky. Too bad they never finished that electrician's course...
Game Play
Connect the loose bulbs by touching them with the exposed wire from the light string. Loose bulbs are always safe, but if the string is connected to power and you touch the string to itself, some of the bulbs will explode. Electricity is powerful, but dangerous. Be careful with it.
There are three possible endings and eleven achievements to earn.

Made for Jame Gam Christmas Edition - 2021
This is my first, complete game!!
I would've like to have done music but ran out of time. I joined with only 2 days to go and it was a mad dash to finish. I can think of many things that I can do better next time (the code is really wonky. What a great learning experience! I welcome all comments and criticisms!
Thanks for playing!

SANTA'S DRONES
Have you ever wondered why you never received that Christmas present you always wanted? Maybe Santa Claus needs an updgrade to keep up with the demographic expansion of the last years. That old magic sled won't be able to carry all the presents anymore, so some lost packet is inevitable at some point! Become a Santa's drone to deliver all the lost presents in order to save Christmas and bring back the Joy to the world!
-> I believe Christmas is much more that receiving a present, btw xD
New in v.4!
- New skins added to the game: Mario and Zelda are coming to town!
- Some skins have a custom present sprite

I'm unable to paste gfx into the bbs anymore. The ones I have in one of my cartridges are broken as well.
