Hi, PICO-8 people!

I've had a copy of the console for a while and have lurked here for a few years now. I never got around to doing anything cool with the PICO-8 until I joined the Game By Its Cover jam over on itch.io four months ago!

I made a minimum viable product to submit to the jam on its original due date, and then finally returned to the game this past month and redid everything. Now I have something that I'm pleased with, and would like to share!

Here is WORM•HOLE! It's like asteroids but with gravity.

P.S. I haven't listed WORM•HOLE as Creative Commons only because I don't hold rights to the name- I was given permission to use it from the artist whose cartridge art I based the game on. Feel free to use the code and in-game assets for anything else, though! I've applied the Unlicense on my itch.io page.

also, there's a little secret mechanic. you will know when you find it. it will only be used in levels where it's painfully obvious. there are no levels where it is used, but you can beat the level otherwise.

This is for @huulong but will likely assist others.

There was some talk of not being able to export the LABEL of a Pico-8 cart.

That is the screen you record when you press the F7 key during its runtime.

Well it can be done with a bit of work.

These instructions are for the commercial version of Pico-8.

Load the cart you want to export the title screen and type the following in immmediate mode:

save flip

Then edit the FLIP.p8 in Notepad or some other convenient text editor.

Look for __gfx__ change that to __label__

Look lower in the code for __label__ change that to __gfx__

Save that code.

Bring back up Pico-8.

Now in immediate mode type:

load flip

You will see that the spritesheet now contains the title screen.

To export the title screen type:

export title.png

When all done you can delete the flip.png file.

If you found this helpful or have further questions, please let me know.

THANKS !

I've been noticing a significant decrease of the RAM Pico-8 shows in stat(0) after rebooting it. I just updated from 0.2.5e to 0.2.5g and didn't notice this bug in 0.2.5e. But since I don't reboot often, I might have missed it in 0.2.5e.

Anyway, this bug might be new. Here are some pictures to show you the RAM usage as shown by stat(0) before and after rebooting Pico-8.

87KB before reboot, and 23KB after reboot.

The games still seem to play fine.

EDIT: The bug also affects version 0.2.5e

Zoom in or out, i tried to keep texts as big as possible for those phones that smoothens the picture when zoomed in.

I hope it is helpfull ~

Rather than a bug it is a help post.

In my keyboad I have to press [alt gr]+ [7]or [0(zero)] to type surly brackets {}

But, in pico 8 edu edition [alt gr] + [7] and [0] captures image or toggles keyboard cursor..

Is there any alternatives to type {} rather than copying and pasting ??

NOTE: I am usin a "Q Turkhish keyboard"

I don't want to do complicated things :(
