You won't believe it, but Space Battle is a shoot 'em up. Besides different enemies (and bosses), it offers various extras (explained in the opening credits), more firepower, a high score list and a cheesy background story.

Credits & Behind the Scenes

Triggered by @Krystman's SHMUP tutorial on his Lazy Dev YouTube channel, I thought it would be a good idea to program a game together with my ten-year-old son and teach him a little programming logic along the way. He was immediately hooked, but was more interested in the sprite editor and kept coming up with enemies, bullets and new ideas for a few extras. In any case, we both had a lot of fun.

I'm working on a Minecraft (2d) clone. I have world generation pretty much complete, but I need to have a way to store said generation. I know that using printh() lets you write to files, but I want to read the contents from an external file like new_world.dat or something similar.

Satan has taken over Santa's house! Luckily, Rudolph (that's you) has escaped from the cage he found himself in. Rescue Santa! Rescue reindeer! Stop Satan! Collect Christmas things! Save Christmas!

I thought I'd try my hand at the proud, proud tradition of making a lazy asset swap Christmas game. Turns out this was vastly more work than I anticipated but also a lot more fun. Trying to make sense of my own code from two years ago was not fun though.

This started out life as Banana Chase, one of my first games. All the sprites needed Christmasing up, I heavily remixed the map and also jammed in some Christmas jingles. What was not fun was trying to make sense of the absolute nonsense that passed as the level sequence code, this is not a place of honour etc.

spooky scene (with tile decoration generation)

before i could create the full scene, i made a fake screenshot in a pixel art editor
so i could look at the picture and imagine which commands i would need to add the details

behind the scenes

warning: long text

i added details by selecting tiles that should have added details, storing the tile numbers as variables on a code page (the 2nd one), then programming on the next (3rd) codepage how the tiles should be decorated.
the last (4th) code page has only the main loop, and the first one has no code because it's for a bit of extra documentation.

the decogen…draw() (decoration generation draw) function checks every tile for if it's one of the special tiles, and then decorates if it is.
each tile has distinct decorations, so they have very different approaches to being decorated:

• pillars are generated from the base (the only pillar sprite in the spritesheet).
  they check for a ledge above to know how long the pillar should be.
  when they hit it, the rest of the pillar is drawn from top to bottom, with three parts
  • the base sprite but mirrored, is the capital (the top)
  • a dark line shades the capital
  • a rectangle connects the base and the capital
• every brick wall tile on the map checks if it is below a ledge tile.
  if it is, it draws a shaded row of bricks below the ledge
  using a one-off character that i made in my one-off character creator
• the lamp's decoration has two parts
  • the pole is almost like a pillar, but in reverse:
    the lamp checks the tiles below the bulb (the only lamp sprite) until it hits the floor,
    then it draws the pole. it has four parts
    • mirrored base sprite as capital
    • line that shades the capital
    • rectangle that connects the pillar
    • base sprite used as-is for the base
  • the emission lines are just six lines that get drawn next to the bulb — no checks needed
• the door has only its bottom tile in the spritesheet.
  the part above gets generated — no checks needed.
  it has 4 parts
  • the top third of the door is another one-off character
  • the row of bricks above is another one-off character, but only the bright pixels
  • the single dark pixel of the brick row is drawn with pset()
  • i added a black outline to the left and right of the door
    using 2 lines
• the clock is also getting decorated with no checks. the decoration has 3 parts
  • a black filled circle for the clock face
  • a bright hollow circle for the outline
  • because the filled circle overdrawed the clock hands,
    the clock hands sprite gets replaced
• every cloud tile checks if it has an empty background tile to its left or right.
  if it has, it draws a line to complete the outline

• added skin color setting

Hi all! I have a problem. I made a game and I've lost the source code (my laptop was stolen and my code wasn't backed up 'cause I'm a dummy).

Regrettably I didn't post it to BBS either :/

I'd like to be able to recover the .p8 file from the exported html and js files. Is there any way to do this?

Many thanks <3

This cart is designed for offline use and will let you select any area from your spritesheet and draw it in any other code or even a different cart - without using the spritesheet.

Use the arrow keys to navigate.
Try selecting any of the color rectangles to test the system.
Hold down the CTRL key to jump in a grid of 8x8.
Hold down the SHIFT key to start selecting an area. The area is inclusive so the cursor must touch the area borders you want to select.

Hold down BOTH CTRL and SHIFT to select in fields of 8x8 where the box is 8*size-1

This is my second Pico-8 game!

Instructions

This a 1 or 2 player game.

When a player makes a move the block underneath reduces one on its counter, and when it reaches 0 the block crumbles appart. The idea is to make the other player (human or computer) fall.

Controls

In 1 player mode, you can move with either the SEDF letters or with the arrow keys, in 2 player mode one player uses the SEDF letters and the other one uses the arrow keys.

1 player mode has three different levels of difficulty, I used a minimax algorithm to implement the AI.

Other games

I also did a game called POF, a speedrunning boss shooting game: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=46519

I felt like doing something easy (for me, specifically, since I've made platformers a lot in several engines). I tried to emphasize the feeling of a full adventure rather than any particularly innovative gameplay features. I also tried to minimize loading times as much as I could. The maps are loaded in from 2 other carts when the game starts up and so most of the map data is in the upper memory storage the entire time. This has the benefit that the code isn't minified, so a lot of it is readable (as much as my code would ever be anyway). The downside is that I had to be really picky about only using mechanics that could be coded simply.

The maps were made using Tiled map editor and using a separate script in standard Lua to convert to hexadecimal. From there, a cart for loading into memory was used for assembly. The map format is an RLE encoded terrain map along with a listing of game objects. This allowed me to put game objects on top of terrain more easily, such as the meta-objects that tell enemies when to turn around. Also it made the map sizes smaller. I think the average is about 700 bytes per map.
