I've been trying ways to take a specific sprite and replace all of them on the map with another sprite.
Here are two methods I figured out.
This here is the first method and the one I use in my Pico-8 game "Marley The Adventurer". Probably the most simple and reliable method. It just scans all tiles one by one every time it wants to swap and immediatly replaces it by the other tile if the tile matches the one specified. It uses almost no extra RAM, but a lot of CPU usage. And if one of the tiles gets removed or if one gets added it will still react properly and replace the new tiles as well.
The function takes two parameters:
set_all1(current_tile_sprite, new_tile_sprite)

I’ve started a new YouTube music series called “Gruber Jams”
My idea is to dedicate at least 30mins a week to recording a raw, unedited video of me writing Pico-8 music. Like Bob Ross’s The Joy of Painting (but less cool obviously!). These will be very spontaneous, sometimes productive, sometimes less productive, but will capture my process as purely as possible.
All of the music I write I’ll upload here to the forums so that others can use in their games, so please feel free to do so! This is the first one, Happy Frog Dance!

I was trying to download Pico-8 on my Mac device but (I already own it) so I went to the downloads page and clicked on pico-8 it never downloads and just takes me to the home page. So I tried clicking on the Mac icon. That did not work, I'm probably doing this wrong and maybe the downloads page isn't the downloads page or something? Or I'm clicking the wrong button. Tell me!

Matchem is a traditional match three gem game, it is designed to be played either with a challenging time/move limited level mode, or a more relaxed endless mode.
Challenge mode:
Complete a color objective within a time limit or within a fixed number of moves.
Endless mode:
Play forever!
Daily Run Mode: Challenge yourself and your friends to achieve the high score of the day! Everyone's board and random gems will be the same each day.

I'm new to Pico-8, so I thought I'd work on a demake of the old Adventures of Lolo game for the NES. This is a fairly simple puzzle game with real time puzzles that have to be solved in the correct sequence. I just got the first level working and am starting work on the second level. Mostly just a preview at this point! I'm tinkering with it a few hours every week or so. Lots of fun and learning so much!

This is a mod of MetroCubeVainia, by FlyTrapStudios. You can play that game here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=30643

-
The player now appears in the middle after you lose a tank, just like when you start the game.
-
Because of the incredibly high scores, I have tweaked the speed of the invader slightly to be faster over time.
- Also because of the high scores I am seeing, I am setting it so the flying saucer makes one pass. Once it goes off the edge of the screen to the left, it will not reappear until you make another +100 score. So now it's vital you shoot it when it appears. If you somehow miss it, it will appear again once you get your score +100 again.

And here is another little game I did on my spare time.
Yes, I know, it's yet another Space Invaders clone, but I wanted to make one that behave closer to the original Arcade version, and also add a little twist to it.
Indeed, you can customize your game, with a lot of parameters like:
- the number of players (up to 4!)
- the type of display
- the number of monsters coming up, how much of each type and their starting position
- shot speed from the monsters and from the players
- the number and size of protective shields
- number of lives and how much points for extra

Hello everyone!
This is my first Pico-8 project, a very basic space shooter. Of course it's heavily influenced by the wonderful LazyDevs tutorial.
I am aiming for this to be a tribute to the 1990 Solar Striker game boy game. I have used sprites made by Master484 (Public Domain) and maybe I will borrow some elements from the original Solar Striker game. Still looking for a sound artist that would allow me to use his music in this game, or for a nice track collection that would fit a space shooter
Please feel free to comment on my code, since I am an enterprise software full-stack developer (in .net and angular) and I am afraid my coding style (a bit more Object Oriented) may result in poor performance or it's simply out of the Pico-8 ecosystem practices.

Story
The year is 2045.
The human race is still searching for a habitable planet outside the Milky Way. The bravest warrior was chosen to explore a distant galaxy. Everything looked good at first, but shortly before reaching the surface of the first distant planet, strange-looking and not very nice monsters attack him.
Will he still manage to reach the alien planet?
Controls
The game is controlled by using the steering cross and the x button. Nothing else is needed.
In further levels there appear some power ups that can be selected from the fighter. Some things like a safety shield or a turbo gun. I don't want to give everything away, so this must be enough at this point. ;-)

Just another song I made while messing around. I'm just starting to learn coding so making music is what i'm starting with.
