I've been drawing for 8 months every single day. and I really like Pico 8, so I thought I can mix two and two together . my profile drawing was made 4 months ago so my art skills have been going up from there. I'm not the best at pixel art but I can try. thx for reading.

Hello! I've been working on a pico-8 version of Tritris in my free time. If you don't know, Tritris is a web game developed by Goel based on Tetris but with a twist : the blocks are made up of triangles. (I recommend learning how to play on the official website.) I added a few features that make the gameplay a bit different from the original. It's kind of like the difference between modern Tetris and the classic NES version.

Hi everyone, I think this can't be a bug that only I just found out so I'm posting it here for some help instead of in the bugs forum.
I seem to be having the weirdest behaviour easing out a negative var towards 0: it never becomes zero again (either negative or positive), despite printing as such. Check the below reproducer code and gif, neither y==0 nor y==-0 conditions catch the zero, even though at first you can see true.
Please help?
Thanks!
function _init()
y=0
end
function _update()
y*=0.85
if btn(2) then
y-=0.65
end
end
function _draw()
cls()
print("time: "..time())
print("y="..y)
print("is y==0? "..(y==0 and 'true' or 'false'))
print("is y==-0? "..(y==-0 and 'true' or 'false'))
end |

A segmented LCD-style clock. It's pretty simple, but figuring out an efficient way of storing the graphics and not using any spritesheet space was interesting. Entry for the Pico-8 512-Char Jam.

I am working on a program to both read and write lowercase letters to the clipboard, yet I don't think this is possible.
Try out this code by copying it and pasting it directly to source-code.
function _init()
printh("{text}","@clip")
end
|
Where it says {text} go to that area, remove the "text" then press CTRL+P to enter Puny Font Mode - then type in the editor some lowercase letters between the two quotes. "abc" if you like. Then press CTRL+P to exit out of Puny Font Mode.
Then run it.
Then ALT-TAB out of Pico-8 and press CTRL+V to something like Notepad.
You see the problem. Lowercase letters are not sent via the clipboard.

Title. I'm using the web-based education edition at https://www.pico-8-edu.com, and i'm wondering if i'm allowed to post carts made from there on the BBS.

Example cart to test out reflections and water waving effects. Code is not necessarily optimal, but demonstrates the basic concept.

Hey guys! I just made my first PICO-8 game, completely from scratch :)
I know it isn't much, but I'd like some feedback on it! Thanks for checking it out :D

This game does not play well without an actual mouse. I may make an updated version that handles that better.
This is a recreation of a puzzle game I play all the time on my phone.
Left click to grab a piece from the bottom of the screen.
While holding a piece, you can place it on the board where there are any openings.
If you are holding a piece that you don't want to place yet, use right click to drop it back to the bottom of the screen.
Filling up a whole line or square will clear those blocks and add to your score. Combos will increase the amount of points you gain.
Suggestions and comments welcome.

hey all, very new to the p8 community (literally purchased p8 5 minutes ago)!
i've been a developer/designer in the space for a little while and own a studio building software/games, and as of recently, my team is looking to develop one of our community-projects for the gameboy color. naturally, i have built a custom gbc with the funnyplaying ips, rechargable batteries, and have a flash cart to play homebrew games on.
this release will be sent to our community as a physical cart that we'll flash and design a beautiful box/packaging for. really pulling at those nostalgia-strings.
i have been playing porklike on my gbc nonstop, it's gotta be one of my favorite pick-up-and-play games in a long time. i've watched a few of the p8 tutorials for the game by lazy devs on yt (what lead me to purchase p8), but i'm unsure how to convert p8 roms to the gameboy?
i found a lua compiler on github that looks like it converts roms, but i wanted to ask the community directly how to get this done? i love the experience of p8 and that it's a turnkey option, but i just need to know i'll be able to convert my p8 roms to .gbc format and have it run.

As usual with PCM audio, be careful of your volume, and if this doesn't play back well in your browser, try it in desktop Pico-8. Earlier versions had filter instability problems that could result in loud sounds showing up out of nowhere - I think these are fixed now (I've let this play for over an hour with no problems) but I can't 100% promise it won't happen again.
An entry to the Pico-8 512-Char Jam. Kick, hat, acid.
Update 1: Moved the delay time slightly off the beat. Also saved a few characters thanks to @SmellyFishstiks, which let me thicken the oscilloscope line.
