Hello. This is my first attempt to convert a multi-track MIDI song to Pico-8 through the use of @bikibird's own DENOTE tool. And I believe I was successful.

As for the picture, it helps to squint. Sorry, that's the best I can do. :)
Run in immediate mode for zero hiccups in flicker.

Shovel Knight Main Theme
Music by @Fettuccini
Art by @SmellyFishstiks
I actually made this a while ago, but just never got around to posting it here on the BBS. Thanks to @SmellyFishstiks for taking the time to make the art for it!
Any recommendations for other Shovel Knight songs to demake? Let me know, and I just might do it :)

Hot Diggin'
A game in less than 1kb for PICO-1K jam 2022
Help Digson get away from the falling lava! Dig as fast as you can! Why is the lava falling? Who knows!
HOW TO PLAY:
- arrow keys (or gamepad DPAD) - move left and right
- action button (Z,C, or N on keyboard, "A" on XBOX gamepad) - dig!
- you can dig left and right by holding that direction while digging. Otherwise, you will try to dig down. You can only dig when your feet are on hard ground.
- Your only goal is to outrun the falling lava. Touching red blocks will make the lava run faster. You can dig through red blocks, but doing so will GREATLY speed up the lava, so try to avoid this.

Shovel Knight Main Theme
[sfx]
Here's my pico-8 transcription of the main theme from Shovel Knight :)
My pixel art skills aren't the most refined, so if anyone out there would like to take a stab at making a 128x128 title screen for this, I'll gladly use that to post this as a cart instead and credit you.

Hello all! I'm having an issue with a game I'm developing, where the collision is working flawlessly with any side other than the left side. for some reason it just wont work with the warps in game and I'm not sure why. left side collisions are working everywhere else, namely with stopping the player walking thru the walls. but not for the warps in game, which are supposed to work kind of like Pokémon's teleporting system. Frankly, I'm stumped and would appreciate if someone could take a look at this. Linked are not only the relevant code in the game, but a test cartridge as well to see what the problem is.
the main files i believe the bug should be happening in is input.lua, collision.lua, and game_manager.lua
collision.lua
--collsion for the map function collide_map(obj,aim,flag) --obj = table needs x,y,w,h --aim = left,right,up,down local x=obj.x local y=obj.y local w=obj.w local h=obj.h local x1=0 local y1=0 local x2=0 local y2=0 if aim=="left" then x1=x-1 y1=y x2=x y2=y+h-1 elseif aim=="right" then x1=x+w-1 y1=y x2=x+w y2=y+h-1 elseif aim=="up" then x1=x+2 y1=y-1 x2=x+w-3 y2=y elseif aim=="down" then x1=x+2 y1=y+h x2=x+w-3 y2=y+h end --pixels to tiles x1/=8 y1/=8 x2/=8 y2/=8 if fget(mget(x1,y1), flag) or fget(mget(x1,y2), flag) or fget(mget(x2,y1), flag) or fget(mget(x2,y2), flag) then return true else return false end end |

input()
end |
here is a test cartridge to see the issue at play
controls:
left: move left
right: move right
up: move up
down: move down
x: open menu
z: advance turn
to recreate the bug, you can walk through the warp on the right of the screen from spawn (orange arrows)
but when you make it to the other side, you cannot warp back even though the logic should let you.

An homage to our favorite guy, the one and only Emil Grubak Schmalfeldt ❤️
Made by four friends on a rainy day in Odense, Denmark on the 24th of September, 2022.

To crank out a fun game in a single day, we build upon the engine and assets from Harold's Bad Day by @biovoid. This game would not have been possible without it!

Here's a flute I made for a track in my current project. I tried to capture the breathy harmonics that happen on the attack of a note. After the note is held, it goes into a looping tremelo.
I didn't switch on the reverb here, but I am using it with medium reverb on the pattern in my track.
For a softer sound, you can use the fade-in effect (4), or alternate between fading in and hard attack for more variety in sound. I've also had success with using a fast arpeggio between 2 notes for a trill effect.
Feel free to use it in your projects under CC4-BY-NC-SA license. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: This is not my cart, I've just discovered it and made a version fit for speedrunning in 10 minutes.
CHANGES:
Time is displayed at the end (from button press out of instructions to pink balls merging) (breaks with times over 9 minutes due to overflow)
All 6 starting balls are now white.

My family like the online word game Waffle but wanted to play more than once a day. So I wrote them this version in Pico-8. Along the way I reimagined it as an 8-bit console title with sound effects, music, particles, multiple levels, ramping difficulty, and a final “boss battle” that you unlock by completing all the preceding levels.
How to Play
Scrambled words are arranged in a grid. Unscramble all the words by swapping pairs of letters. You have a limited number of swaps to complete each level. Run out of swaps and you have to try again. Complete the level with swaps left over to score points.

Hi
I'm a fresher of pico-8, so I want to read some exist object code.
The default font is hard to read in launcher, so I try to use some editor like vs-code to open the cartridge file(*.p8.png), but it seems like it is a binary file and unreadable.
Anyone have some advises?

Dart-07
A scrolling shooter. As the Dart-07 you fight on Emerald Islands, Outpost in Space, and in the interstellar Phoslar Mine |
This is a PICO-8 game, which I made during Basic Shmup Showcase event organised by Lazy Devs Academy.
You can play it here and on https://beetrootpaul.itch.io/dart-07 .
⚠️ Please be aware this game is under development. Mission 1 is complete and ready to play, but you enter missions 2 and 3 on your own risk 😄
If you want to take a look at the codebase, please visit https://github.com/beetrootpaul/dart-07 (the code inside PICO-8 carts of this game is minified, therefore not suitable for reading).
