The Orange planet has been invaded by huge insects and you must fight back!
The fate of our land depends on you...
Blue bullets can be cancelled by destroying the enemies, don't shoot to activate the vacuum cleaner and get more points!
Graze the bullets to increase the score multiplier and get an incredible amount of points!!!
Over 9000!
It's like a bullet hell!

This is my first bare-bones game engine. There are a lot of directions I could take with this, but I think a speed running focused game would work best. I am open to any/all feedback!

Hello.
The other day I was working in a very primitive language that did not have random numbers but could move an object - randomly.
Determined it could be done I wrote a routine that has an object start at the left of the screen.
Above that is a wall all the way across, below is blank, then another wall all the way across.
Looking a little like this:
|
[40x32] |
The purple above is the top solid line, the pink below is the bottom solid line, the dots are transparent, and the triangle facing to the right is our object.
OK so for me to build a random number generator, let's say I wanted it a number from 0-31, so there would be 31-horizontal wall tiles, above and below, the arrow.

Hello.
As I continue to work on my Pico-8 code I am now becoming painfully aware that there is no Breeze ability in Pico-8 if you code conventionally.
Let me explain.
In many programming languages I have written in to them functions to handle the breeze variable.
In it, if it is zero or undefined, nothing happens.
However, if it is >0 then a check is made to see if that key is being held. If it is then the program will run as fast as possible.
In Pico-8 I have it so if you hold down ❎ then the program will breeze on through the rest until breeze=0 is set.
To create breeze I wrote THIS function in place of flip().
function flp()
if btn(breeze-1)==false then
flip()
end
end
|
Where breeze equals the value to check for the following. LEFT=1, RIGHT=2, UP=3, DOWN=4, 🅾️=5, and ❎=6
In this if you have a long set of instructions or logo or what have you, you can hold or tap the ❎ key and it will breeze right on through them at maximum speed.

Hi everyone! I'd like to share my very first PICO-8 game, Picoworld! It's a cart for
simulating artificial life (ALife)! Spawn different particles, define their interaction rules, and
see them come to life! It's a good environment for observing emergent phenomenon and play around
with some simple ALife rules.
You can check out more detailed instructions in the itch.io page.
If you discovered interesting patterns, feel free to comment and attach a GIF below.

Hello! This is my first pico8 game. You can play a vs tetris game, a vs puyo puyo game, or a vs swap game (changing the game every 30 seconds)!
Both games are implemented close to their respective standards (Tetris guideline and Puyo Puyo Tsuu rules). The swap garbage is a 1 line-to-4 nuisance puyos conversion.
Desired future features:
- mini-display between the boards in swap mode, showing your other game board
- swap combos (piece in other game continues to fall while you play, if it completes a line/set, it does so and starts a buffed combo on your current game)
- better sound effects
- music

This was the first time I participated in a Pico-8 1K jam. This Frogger clone has some neat palette swaps and an ever increasing difficulty. How far can you get in as few deaths as possible?

i was using testing the classic library and notice nobody made a version for pico8 ,
the main motive probally is because pico8 uses tokens to limit your scope ,so something like oop can be really token intesive but, i made it anyways so here is classic in pico8.
--classic but in pico8
--class
class={}
class.__index=class
function class:ext()
local nclass={}
for k,v in pairs(self) do
if sub(k,1,1)=="_" and
sub(k,2,2)=="_" then
nclass[k]=v
end
end
nclass.super=self
nclass.__index=nclass
setmetatable(nclass,self)
return nclass
end
function class:new()
end
function class:__call(...)
local obj=setmetatable({},self)
obj:new(...)
return obj
end

tip:use with responsibility.

An early proof of concept for an Total War-like RTS in Pico8.
Controls (Global map):
Left and right arrow - choose territory.
Up and down arrow - choose type of troop to buy.
X - buy troop.
Z - attack territory.
Controls (Battlefield)
Arrow keys - move troop.
Z - choose next troop.
Different types of terrain provide different bonuses:
- Units in Forests can't be shot at.
- Units in Mountains shoot farther.
- Units in Swamps are slowed down.
- Units on Roads move faster.

I want to import my MIDI file into Pico-8,
and there will be a little error with using Denote or Midi2pico.
So I want to try import each tracks separately.
But I encountered a problem.
If I directly paste music data, it always pastes to the track 1, and covering the track previously posted.
and, I don't know how to move the music of track1 to track2.
Like this.
Is there a way to move all the music of track1 to track2 ?
I had used text editor to open .p8 file.
But I can't understand number rule.

I am working on a little shooter where players can move up and down a fixed track, and can aim a cannon to shoot a projectile at an angle. Ideally, this angle can run parallel to the track, but shouldn't intersect it.
I thought I had the math down, but I am running into an issue where the players' projectiles are able to intersect the track. It appears that, even though I constrain the angles that player cannons can point and fire, players seem to be able to extend and shoot a tiny bit beyond it. Strangely, a simple debug test that prints the angles indicates that they should be parallel to the track in these situations.
Angle constraint formulas:
--player 1 is on the left side, and aims right if p1.a<270 and p1.a>100 then p1.a=270 end if p1.a>90 and p1.a<270 then p1.a=90 end --player 2 is on the right side, and aims left if p2.a<90 then p2.a=90 end if p2.a>270 then [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=116799#p) |

Doesn't work in browser as you need to modify the code itself for your own guesses.
Includes binary decryption and plan on adding more methods.
Also, just a bunch of if statements.

Line Of Sight Function
I`ve created a Line-Of-Sight function that should work for most projects. It checks for map-collisions(using flag0 as the collision layer). Please use it and let me know what you do with it!
I was inspired by this post: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=48889
But i wanted a simpler starting point for my own approach. A Line Of Sight check is a good starting point for you own approach but also involves some math. So to bypass that step use my function:
UPDATE 16/9/22
added a optional length-variable. Use it to define a max "range" of the that line. Keep in mind that the function already neglects far away points.
Also added a new break point for perfomance.
function can_see(x1,y1,x2,y2,length)
--x1 and y1 are the point of view,length is the max distance of the two points
local max_length=length or 1000
local xvec=0
local yvec=0
local len=0
local ret=true

Just wanted to try my hand at a classic game that fits the pico-8 remarkably well.
What's your high score? Have a go! I found it pretty hard getting more than 15.
