Day 1 of my "A cart every day for 30 days" challenge.
Play as Frodo, who is being hunted by mysterious black riders. Hide behind obstacles to avoid detection, and use the magic Ring to get yourself from difficult situations, but beware of the fiery Eye of Sauron.
Arrow keys to move, X to put on/take off the Ring (makes you invisible to riders, but don't use it for too long).

Hi!
Here is a demo of Planet Digger!

It's a 2D space platformer about a mole that have destroyed the ecosystem of the universe by eating too much fruit.
If you like it and want more then here is the full version: itch.io

Have a nice day!

I've been working on building a simple and efficient platformer engine, and while it basically works, the character sprite can appear jittery depending on the character and camera movement, and I haven't figured out why. I've uploaded a prototype it you'd like to check it out. If anyone has some ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciate it, thanks.
Controls:
L\R-----------Move
Z-------------Run
X-------------Jump




Chew the bomb
update 1.2 [change]Position when holding a bomb. / Enemy bullets stop on the wall.
Story
...I am drifting through space in an emergency escape capsule. Luckily I was able to find an old base station, but what the heck! It was a nest of alien life. Unless I destroy the aliens and get my base back, I can't even call for help. I decided to start cleaning up with Miporus Creature Bombs.
Rules
You control an astronaut, Mr.Astrou.
And use a creature bomb, which explodes after a few seconds when thrown, and a laser gun, which is not very powerful, to eliminate all hostile creatures on the stage.
The bomb blasts also damage Astrou. Only when you kill enemies with the bombs, high-scoring energy cubes will appear.






Feature Overview

- Tests that the specified value is within a range.
- This function consumes 10 Token.
--[true] in range value inrng(5,1,10) --[true] lowest range value inrng(1,1,10) --[true] highest range value inrng(10,1,10) --[false] out of range value inrng(0,1,10) --Player:1 any key inrng(btn(),0x1,0xff) --Player:2 any key inrng(btn(),0x100,0xff00) |
This function is included in the KNUTIL library.

Having seen @loanwulf's offering here:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=48345
I decided to go ahead and show off an unfinished cart I was working on HERE back in March of 2022:
Press 🅾️ to show Spock's communication card.
There is code, graphics, music, and sound effects in this cart. Feel free to examine them all.
For graphics there is the Enterprise, Doomsday Machine, Planets, Starbase, "Star Trek" text, and 32x32 portraits of Kirk, Doctor McCoy, Spock, Lieutenant Uhura, Scotty, And Admiral Hanson.
For audio there is the Star Trek theme I started, Phasers in different pitches to show if they are the handheld variety or coming directly from the Enterprise, Transporter thrum, Computer sounds and pitches, Warp Speed, "Panic" theme, "Lost game" theme, and a few other bits for communication.


Hey @zep! So I'm on latest of writing this (0.2.4c) and twice now I've gotten segfaults when I try to save? (I think? my memory is fuzzy..)
I'm not entirely sure what parts of the reports I should send over but both say:
Notes: Translocated Process Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000 Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY Termination Signal: Segmentation fault: 11 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0xb Terminating Process: exc handler [780] VM Regions Near 0: --> __TEXT 102b54000-102c94000 [ 1280K] r-x/r-x SM=COW /var/folders/*/PICO-8.app/Contents/MacOS/pico8 Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 com.lexaloffle.pico8 0x0000000102c435d8 codo_save_pico8_cart_to_file + 3800 1 com.lexaloffle.pico8 0x0000000102c436b7 codo_save_pico8_cart + 55 [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=113739#p) |
While pico8-lua itself can handle even 0x7fff arguments being passed to a function (easy to see via unpack, for example), peek and poke seem to only handle up to 0x2000.
E.g. peek(0x8000, 0x2001) returns 0x2000 values instead of 0x2001
And poke(0x8000, <0x2001 values>) only pokes addresses up to 0x9fff




Demo of Markov Chain Process
Hey everyone, this is my first cart posted to the forums.
I made this tech demo thing to try out Markov Chain modeling, and thought the result was worth sharing.
What is a Markov Model?
A Markov Model or Markov Chain is a process by which an object changes states, and the chance of a change of state is dependent only on the state the object is currently in. At every step (in our case a frame) there is a chance that the object changes states. Each state change can have different chances of occurring. If no state change occurs, the object remains in its current state.
What is this cart?
This cart is just a little demo I made to demonstrate the Markov Chain process. It uses four orbs as objects, each with four different states: move up and down, move left and right, change size, or change color.
