Hey @zep I was working on my game and found that my pokes were failing to update the .p8d.txt?
here I tried doing:
?"⁶!5e00²" ?dget(0) stop() |
I found it replicable by doing
cartdata"test" color(7) local v = @0x5e00 if v<8 then ?@0x5e00 ?"⁶!5e00"..chr(v+1) run() end ?"done" |
I understand if it's meant to take time to update the file but my game depends on this writing to memory for handling state and I wish I could rely on it.. is there some way to make sure the file has time to be written to that'd be token cheap? like giving it extra flip time or something?
I'm on v0.2.5e not sure if this exists on newer versions.

PICO-VIEW: May 2023
Hello Pico-View Reader, this May issue is the fifth in the series. This month has been jammed full of fun in the community. In this issue we are placing a focus on the multiple game jams that occured in May and the many PICO-8 games made for them!
We'll begin with our usual tasty Game Dev Articles, and then we'll take a look at each major jam that happened this month, with some jam-specific articles sprinkled in there as well. This issue is stuffed with games, so if you missed out on all the releases this month, don't worry, we've got you covered with the must-plays.
Thank you to the writers, contributors, and all supporters, that includes you reader! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And with that, have fun adventuring through the pixels and paragraphs of this issue of the Pico-View web-zine!

Texting and Driving Simulator!
Arrow Keys- rotate and move the car in forward or reverse
Z and X- use to type messages: unpack your complicated relationship with Buddy and Sarah!
Try and type as many characters as possible while dodging oncoming traffic and hopefully making it back home in one piece!

Hello!
This is a small, narrative game poem about a young girl who is searching for letters from her mother.
I hope that you connect with the story and have fun exploring it's world.
Credit and gratitude to Nerdy Teachers and Lazy Game Devs. I spent a lot of time with their tutorials and they have helped so much! (I used the code for the Nerdy Teachers platformer tutorial as the starting point for this game.)
I've also been incredibly inspired by playing others games in Splore. It's so awesome that a community like this exists.
Thank you for playing!

When using multiscreen mode, the following function (which should print a scaled text) turned out to render only on the first screen:
function scale_text(str,x,y,c,scale)
memcpy(0x4300,0x0,0x0200)
memset(0x0,0,0x0200)
-- draw to spr mem at 0x0000
poke(0x5f55,0x00)
print(str,0,0,7)
-- draw to screen mem again
poke(0x5f55,0x60)
local w,h = #str*4,5
pal(7,c)
palt(0,true)
sspr(0,0,w,h,x,y,w*scale,h*scale)
pal()
memcpy(0x0,0x4300,0x0200)
end
|
Just like normal printing, I expected this to work in multiscreen with the following calling code:
poke(0x5f36,1) scrs_w, scrs_h = 3,1; scr_ix = 0; _camera = camera function camera(x,y) x = x or 0 y = y or 0 local dx=flr(scr_ix % scrs_w) local dy=flr(scr_ix / scrs_w) _camera(x+128*dx, y+128*dy) end function _draw() scr_ix = stat(3) camera(0,0) cls(scr_ix+5) [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=130328#p) |

Hi @zep, I found today that >><= and <<>= don't work in 0.2.5g (a regression, as they worked in the past for sure - didn't check which version broke them)
E.g:
a=3 a<<>=5 print(a) -- 3 now |

Hi,
I finished up my asset pack of 'retro' 8x8px repeating tile patterns:
http://8x8.me
Public Domain - free to use.
The P8 code snippets encode the image to font data, or png images are provided to load to the sprite sheet.
There's also some 'magic' to quickly try out a pattern, e.g.
?"⁶rw¹シ⁶.".."▮▮,#ろ4⁸⁸"
Appreciate any feedback; hope it's useful :-)

Flappy Cat
Date: 28.05.2023
Description
This game is a remake of the classic flappy-bird game in pico8. You will get one point for each cat-pole you have crossed. The game is endless but you do loose if you hit any of the poles. No collision at the bottom nor the top of the screen! If the player hit a certain amount of points, the game will get faster! So be aware! If you play on easy mode, the Highscore counter will reset after each death! It’s not a bug it’s a feature:p. On normal mode, the Highscore will stay!
Controls
Use the "❎" button for all interactions!

Horizontal alignment is reset when a line break or tab is inserted in p8scii.
The example below expects the first line to start at the beginning of the first line after a line break.
Also, the tab position seems to reset the shift cursor.
cls() ?"\+jjtest p8scii\ntest p8scii (𝘹ADJUST:j)",0,0 ?"\+ljtest p8scii\ntest p8scii (𝘹ADJUST:l)",0,16 ?"\-jtest\-j p8scii (𝘹ADJUST:j)",0,64 ?"\-ltest\-l p8scii (𝘹ADJUST:l)",0,72 |
