Hi @zep! :)

I was just reading through the manual and noticed sfx() accepts an offset value to begin playback at an arbitrary note, 0-31. I think it would be super dope for music() to also accept an offset param!

Combined with stat(54)/stat(56), it would allow you to track the playback of a main song, interrupt it with some special event song, and then resume playback of the main song exactly where it left off instead of at the beginning of the pattern. (Both of my games do this and it's always bothered me to hear the beginning of the pattern repeated after the special event ends, lol)

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Hey! I just needed a one-off animation for another project -- here's a cart I made to generate it.

The final image is slightly palette-swapped from the original cart:

The cartridge will be posted at a later date.

BOUNCY

Guide the bouncy ball through a hazardous land to uncover your purpose! Bouncy is a bite sized physics and platforming puzzles built as a challenge to explore Pico-8 and it's tools.

HOW TO PLAY

LEFT and RIGHT - roll the ball.

HOLD DOWN - store jumping energy

RELEASE DOWN - release jumping energy and fly!

X and Z - dampen your bouncing energy

TIPS and TRICKS

Having trouble lining up a jump? Start your ball bouncing in place and tap left or right to land safely.

Use the de-bounce keys to dampen your inertia. It really works!

Can you get top rank? I sure couldn't.

Binaries downloadable on my ITCH.IO page

READ THIS FIRST

Click the cartridge icon at the bottom of the cart and right click on the image to save it, then just plop it in your /carts/ folder. To use it in desktop pico-8, just put it in your carts folder. For use in pico-8-edu, go to immediate mode (the terminal) and type load #picobrowser, then type save [NAME].p8 where name is whatever you want. then, in pico-8 or edu, just type load name.p8, again where [name] is what you named the file.

more info:

This cart was made using @dw817 's "free roaming directory" cart. Their version, however could only see in /carts/ and couldn't load anything.

A lil' game inspired by Game & Watch and Pico-View's April 2023 issue.

You take on the role of a lumberjack/jill merrily skipping along demolishing a forest single-handedly.
Slow to start, but you pick up momentum easily.
Avoid tweaking your muscles by accidentally swinging at a stump.
And certainly avoid annoying any bees hiding in the trees!

v1.1: Fixed occasional impossible jumps

This is a little endless runner game featuring Pico-8 mascot Jelpi in just 500 characters of code. I tried to cram in the best graphics and parallax scrolling that would fit. Hope you enjoy it.
(Submission to TweetTweetJam 8)

Controls:

Jump----Any button
Restart--reset

I just started using PICO-8 for the first time and using it for a little metroidvania project I had in the back of my mind for a while.

My question as of now doesn't regard coding or techs, but user experience.

Why is my sprite palette pretty much cut to a third of its full size at the bottom of the screen WITHOUT the possibility to navigate? I'm literally prevented from accessing a good portion of the tile palette because the interface just won't let me scroll, zoom or even pan on the tile palette except if I'm in the sprite editor with in Sheet mode (I'll call it that because I don't know what else to call it, basically the sprite editor without the editor itself) I can only navigate the map editor, while the tile palette is completely fixed in place whether I'm in the sprite editor or the map editor.

This honestly feels like a huge problem for a platform this popular, so I'm sure I'm just missing something? How do I navigate this hell?
