With the theme of this jam being "Roll the dice", I made a game where you set your team up and roll the dice on who attacks. There are different effects that interact with each other and I am still working on the game! After years of saying that I wanted to join the game jam, I am making my first game!
I haven’t had the time to make a proper tutorial, but here is a little explanation. At the beginning, you choose three heroes you want to bring to the battle. Afterwards, you can press x to “roll the dice” and a random hero will attack. Each hero can have attributes. There's: Lighting (battery icon), explosion (bomb icon), nature (leaf icon) and fire (fire icon). Lighting does 2 damage to lighting, explosion does 1 damage to all the opponent, nature heals everyone 1 hp, and fire does 2 damage to nature. I still want to keep working on it and improve and add stuff to it. If you have tips and recommendations, tell me!

haha you know when you learn to make games and the tutorials are always like 'make a game where stuff falls from the sky and you catch it'
this is that but I didn't use a tutorial.
My first ever game which isn't just a tutorial, and my second total.
Hope it brightens your minute

What are everyone's favorite development environments for working with Pico8? What are its pros/cons?
Personally, I enjoy the built-in editor. I always launch from the command prompt to make use of the printh() debugging features.
But I've also messed around with using visual studio code and had a good time there.

Aw man, I'm so sorry, I feel really silly... How on earth do you generate a random bool? I can't find any way to cast an int into a bool, so I'm down to doing the sort of stuff below:
randbool=flr(rnd(2)) if randbool==0 then randbool=false else randbool=true end |
This feels really dirty and silly. What's the established way of doing this please? And apologies in advance.
Thanks,
Pedro.

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.

ive loved pico 8 the whole year, but now that schools over, i dont feel like playing as often. ill come in time to time, but i will probably not be playing at all anymore. i will never forget all of the amazing games created by all of you, but im afraid its my time to go. love you all, Jaeson Pickens.
