Hello,
Please feel free to delete this post if it is too off topic.
I am looking to commission an artist for a few different ASCII art renderings of my company's logo. You can see my company website here: https://rainlab.co.jp/en/, with the logo in the top left. As you can see, we're already going for a retro hacker aesthetic. The hope is to end up with 3 separate ASCII renditions---small, medium, and large.
Looking for ASCII artists these days rapidly ends up in a morass of old archived URLs and non-functioning email addresses. Despite no ASCII art floating around here, I absolutely love the artwork on display and thought there might be some overlap.
Anyway, if anyone is willing and able, I would love to chat.

Hi,
This is a work in progress.
Its a little app that allows the user to enter arrow locations on a digital archery target to help keep track of your score. My 11 year old son Dylan is just starting out in archery and we have been using a paper score card to keep track of his efforts to date.
However, we thought that this current method of recording scores was ripe for a little app that we could run on our phone in the field (others may be available in the app stores, not checked but we wanted to make our own!), not only to score, but to also keep track of the approx. location of all 36 arrows shot during a scoring round. This is something the "traditional" recording method doesn't offer, it just captures the score achieved, not the location of the arrows.
The plan is to expand this app so it provides some insight into your performance (e.g. average score, total number of "gold" hits, any bias in arrow location e.g. most land in bottom left quadrant etc...
Plus, it was a good excuse to get Dylan into a bit of coding. He's done a bit of Scratch at school but likes "real" coding with commands etc.. and not just visual blocks! I also love it since it take me back to my days mucking about coding on the ZX Speccy and Atari ST :-)

Variant Stranger ver.0.3
New version is here! What is changed is...
-Title screen added (I'm gonna make it better from now)
-Camera-moves changed!
-Red became Green because of its visibility.
-Player sprites are re-made.
-Now holding button can't do anything by using poke.
-Blue's gliding is removed, and got wall jump instead!
-Map re-made (but it's still as test)
-Player's speed is slower than before (To be honest, that was too fast and caused some bugs)
-Some SFX added! (Do you like them?)
Now I'm working on fundamental part (What is this game's goal? and so on).
Thanks for great advices!!!

Hi! I'm pretty new here, but I've been working on something I think is pretty neat, following the Shmup tutorial found on LazyDev's channel. I wanted to know if I should just start with that, or learn all of the function, commands, etc..
and wing it. Thank you and have fun!

Working on trying to understand RLE and I found a simple algorithm which I converted to pico-8 lua. When I run it however it seems like the while loop exits and executes the next line of code every iteration even though the conditions are still being met. I'm not sure what is going on, but I am sure that it is my fault. :D
cls() string='wwwwweehhhhhhhjjiiioop' function print_rle(str) local string=str local n=#string local j=0 for i=1,n do local char_count=1 while i<n-1 and sub(string,i,_)==sub(string,i+1,_) do char_count+=1 i+=1 end print(sub(string,i,_)..char_count,8*j,10,7) j+=1 end end print_rle(string) |

The second music track from PICO Space. This swaps with the main track every time you earn a reward from completing a mission.
There's a (short) third track too, but you need to finish the game for that...

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.

Hey guys.
Yeah, I'm actually back again after 2 years or less...and I've been busy. Like super busy. I've had several projects, most of which aren't even related to Pico-8, but nevertheless hard work. Also, IRL has been a rollercoaster too, but I have little time to explain everything.
Anyway, I do have a Pico-8 shmup game in the work. I can't really post it here yet until I'm actually satisfied with it. I can give one thing though: I think I finally got the problem-solving part of programming down somewhat.
In case if you haven't noticed by the change of profile settings, I have an itch.io account now. It's cheez26. Check it out sometime. I even released a non-Pico8 project on there. Also, I've pretty much abandoned Twitter at this point, so don't bother with that tbh.
To put it simply, keep an eye out for a new Pico-8 game on here and maybe itch.io.
If you've been following me here, good job. You're more patient than me. Thanks for that.
Anyway, see y'all later.
Sincerely,

Helloo, how are you my loves? I have a question, if you would be so kind to share ideas for a video game, any idea doesn't matter, the only thing that matters to me is your opinions and suggestions, please. If you don't read this in the posts section I'll put it in any game.

PICO-8 Cheat Sheet: Print Edition!
Hey there!
This is a little something I've been working on for a while. Using the P8 cheat sheets from @ztiromoritz and LightBWK as a baseline, I've edited a printable cheat sheet that has only the most necessary information on it. I've touched it up to be more compact and colorful, yet still easily readable, and added some extra stuffs that weren't on the previous cheat sheets I've mentioned.
Credits where credits are due:
- first and foremost, Zep for giving us a creative space to mess around in!
- wh0am1 for a comprehensive and super-helpful API
- @platformalist for maintaining PICO-ATE, practically the one-stop shop in terms of general information, help and resources
- all the contributors who put together another awesome resource list for PICO-8
- LightBWK's and ztiromoritz's cheat sheets, which are both great to use as well

Like Farland but it's actually just around the corner of the mountain. Mod that I've been working on for a while and never got around to finishing so pretty happy it's done, first celeste mod so I'd appreciate any feedback.

So this isn't strictly Pico-8 related but I just came across a video series on Youtube which I thought others here might enjoy.
The Animation of Final Fantasy
The intention seems to be to follow the evolution of FF animation all the way from FF-I up to FF-whatever-number-they're-up-to-by-the-time-he-finishes-the-series.
So far he's only up to FF-IV (the first Super Famicon/SNES release) but I think the first three (the Famicon/NES releases) are probably most interesting to Pico-8 developers. I thought it was an interesting look into how the developers managed with so few assets and—especially in FF-II—how they were able to use those assets to tell a story and convey at least some very basic sense of character.

obsolete
The technique described here uses a deprecated piece of PICO-8 functionality that will be removed in a soon-to-come PICO-8 version: " _map_display has been deprecated when running on a single display (see 0.2.6b release post)".
In recent releases it's possible to set the address in memory that PICO-8 takes its sprites from and this is a preferable way to have multiple sprite sheets available for a game (see the manual for more info; try searching for 0x5f54 and poking values like 0x80, 0xa0, 0xc0, 0xe0).
-- update: fixed a bug where I was still drawing 16x16 sprites from testing that.
Cart showing how to exploit the undocumented multiple display functions to set up extra sprite buffers that can be mapped back into memory for negligible cost.

Controls: Up to flap. That's about it!
(Couldn't figure out how to update my previous cart so this is a new post, sorry! Now has a title screen of sorts though!)
