A fairly detailed and accurate curling sim. Currently experiencing some ahem performance issues. Also only simulates one end as of now.

So here comes the second tutorial from Dylan Bennett's "Game Development with PICO-8". I would love to come back to this and add some animations.

Next Project will be the breakout-tutorial by lazy game dev on youtube.

After a week of programming I'm happy to release Mars Defender.

It's my first game for PICO 8.

5 waves of attack will keep you occupied for about 10-15 minutes.

Your mission: Destroy all the aliens and save your men.

Keyboard controls:

Start game with x

Navigate ship with cursor keys.

x = fire
z = Go to intro page after game over.

Or use our favorite controller.

Enjoy!

Controls:
up = cursor up

I made this as my first project after the tutorial by Dylan Bennett in "Game Development with PICO-8".

Just changed the sprites and colors for now.

Does anyone know how to change the keyboard bindings in the HTML export?

I want to change the default key controls so that the keys are more natural for my game than the defaults for one and two-player play. Is that supported? In which file are the key bindings specified?

Second pico-8 project, this unfinished/abandoned gameplay clone of "copycat" by terry cavanagh (distractionware.com)

Unfinished because the cart's design is just too stupid and any sort of effort to fix things via contrived hack solutions would be wasted compared to just starting fresh.

One day i want to make a "replic8r 1" from the ground up that is actually good, but in the meantime, figured if I'm done with this i might as well post it even if it's broken.

if you enjoyed the gameplay you should check out the original, and maybe even make your own take on it.

I challenged myself to complete a creative project every week for the rest of 2022, and this week was Pico-8.

For this week I decided to tackle a favorite infinite waves-of-enemies survival title from my childhood. It is my take on Worm Whomper by Tom Loughry on the Intellivision. I have included an Intellivision mode that gets a bit closer to the classic graphics.

Gameplay

Defend your corn from an onslaught of hungry pests!

Controls

• Move with direction keys
• Z for plow ball
• X to shoot

If you lose your gun grab a new one from the barn.

I am not a game artist, musician, or developer. As such, the code in this game is filled with redundancies, magic numbers, and is wildly optimized. I have a lot to do, but it is (mostly) playable for the limited effort I was able to put in while simultaneously trying to learn all the things. I had a blast getting this far, I learned a ton and can't wait to revisit Pico-8 in an upcoming week.

A bullet hell game made in 24 hours for a jam.
There are 8 levels of increasing difficulty.
The game has no friction, so once you start moving you can only slow down by moving in the other direction!

When focusing with the x button, the game shows your character's hitbox as a green box

Phew, 48 hours can feel really short.

This is my version of a simple tower defense game with fungi. Instead of buying stuff, fungi reproduce.

Using the mouse, you can place fungi anywhere on the map, which then shoot vertically at crossing bacteria.
After hitting bacteria, fungi are "loaded" and can produce spores. If clicked on, they release their spores and create new fungi. If spores of two different kinds of fungi mix together, there a new type of fungi grows.

Join the historical battle against bacteria on the FUNgi side!

hi, so i'm working on this seal game thing; it's like a burrito bison type game, where you launch the seal and get stuff so you can upgrade it and some other animals and stuff

i just added this launch function which is supposed to stop the seal from moving and allow you to charge power to launch it, and it seemed pretty ok, but when i ran the program, literally nothing even happened

can anyone maybe look through everything and help me figure out why this is happening? i'm drawing a blank, and i really appreciate if i could have some support or whatever

also i better not see anyone saying "rename your variables they're stupid" it's my flipping game i get to type whatever the heck i want

Hello.

I want to use the clipboard to paste SFX data to another console as shown in the image below.
With the current (0.2.4b) function of PICO-8, you can only paste SFX data on the same console.
It would be simpler to share sound effects if they could be pasted to the clipboard in a format like

Lets say I'm creating a game with an item shop that carries only one item (potions for example). I want the user to be able to buy up to 99 potions at a time.

function _init()
cls()
potions = 0
gold = 200
cost_of_potions = 4
buy_potion_amount = 0
end

I want the user to be asked how many potions they want and then they would need to enter it via the gamepad. I know Pico-8 now allows keyboard entry, but I don't want to use that as I want the game to be playable on handhelds like the Gameforce Chi which don't have keyboards. The code would need to check the number of potions the user is buying and compare it to the amount of gold they have and only let them buy the amount if they have enough gold. What would be the best way to implement this? I want it to be easy and quick for the user to enter any of the numbers between 0 and 99. Is there any things I should avoid because they use up to many tokens or are unwieldy code wise? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you PICO-8 community!

This is my very first cart upload here to the BBS! I'm mostly making this post as a thank you to the PICO-8 community for being so informative and welcoming to people who want to learn how to make games. Between the wiki and the forums, I've been able to learn more about how to program in PICO-8 this past month than I could've imagined (this is coming from an absolute newbie).

Here's my first functioning framework for the current project I'm working towards - a rhythm game. I wanted to make this prototype with the intention of being able to easily change the BGM speed and arrow speed independently and still have the audio-visual timing be spot on. I'll likely make a newer version that showcases that functionality. For now, here's a short-and-sweet demo. Enjoy!

Lektrik Sportz Game

A Captain Neat-o Adventure

Let's get one thing straight. This is not Electric Football™. Doctor Lamento destroyed the football years ago because, you know, he's evil. But, I get ahead of myself. This is the story of Captain Neat-o who is far from home and falls into the clutches of Doctor Lamento.

The evil Doctor forces our hero to face off against his most formidable opponent, Neat-o himself, in a spectacle the Doctor calls Lektrik Sportz Game (because he can't spell and, you know, he's evil.)

Game Play

Run from one end of the field to the other while avoiding your opponents. You should make it home in under 5 minutes. Don't fall off.
