this idea came to me while i was making my multi-cart, its not the coding thats hard, no, its tedious, even with copy and paste, it gets tedious, and debugging can get tedious as well! so, i quit making games, its not that i quit pico-8! im gonna exclusively make songs now! the only other thing i am able to do is songs. so, goodbye game dev, hello composer

This prototype was made for Pico-View, a monthly web-zine hosted on NerdyTeachers.com.
This month's prototype is named "Sokolike". It is a template for building your own Sokoban-like game.
If you are not familiar with Sokoban, meaning "warehouse worker" in Japanese, it is an MS DOS puzzle game from 1982 where you must push blocks around walls and other blocks to get them all to designated locations.
We have included a level building function that will read each pixel in a 16x16 sprite and use that to place appropriate tiles on the map. This means that you can draw and edit your level designs easily using the sprite sheet! There are 16 example levels and 52 total levels available to be made.

multicarts are cool, so im gonna make one
i have no information on how to do this, so im just gonna make the simplest type of multicart, literaly just loading different carts for different levels, i dont know why multicart games like poom dont use this! although, i may be wrong about how cart loading works... hopefully i dont need to worry though! ill try to push through and make the best cart ever!

What changed?
There were some misplacements with the diagonal resize and the look of the horizzontal and vertical design was terrible; the text icon didn't match with the text.
Here's the showcase:
I woke up one day and I said "I wanna make a pico-8 styled cursor!" and so this piece of concept art came to life!
I took pico-8's cursor as a reference and the other ones are made by me. This is my first cursor and I'm very pround of it. (It was really fun btw)
Hope you enjoy my work! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

This is a demo of Food Fight, the game I've been working on for the last few months.
Arrow keys to move
X to shoot
Z to use bomb
Shoot down the food in four different waves, the last of which is a boss fight.
Occasionally defeated enemies will drop powerups. Collect these to use your bomb attack.
The more you collect, the bigger the attack. Collecting 10 will give you an extra life, but will reset the counter to zero.
It's playable up to the first boss. Basically this is here to give people the opportunity to playtest it and offer feedback. I am not a programmer and this is all brand new to me.
Big thank you to Lazy Devs "Making a Shmup" course. Any errors in the code are mine and not Krystian's.

In order to experiment with the Picotron v10 Gui library, I made this simple 4 op (more like 6 op) calculator! Just copy and paste the following code into a blank Picotron project and press ctrl+r!
gui = Gui()
set_window(79,73)
buttons = {}
state = 0
a = 0.0
b = 0.0
op = nil
buffer = ""
function _init()
for i=1,9,3 do
for j=0,2 do
add(buttons, gui:attach_button({label=tostr(i+j),x=j*16,y=(abs(i-9)/3)*14+8,bgcol=0x0d01,fgcol=0x070d,tap=function()add_buf(i+j)end}))
end
end
add(buttons, gui:attach_button({label="0",x=0,y=59,bgcol=0x0d01,fgcol=0x070d,tap=function()add_buf(0)end}))
add(buttons, gui:attach_button({label=".",x=16,y=59,bgcol=0x0d01,fgcol=0x070d,tap=function()add_buf(".")end}))
add(buttons, gui:attach_button({label="=",x=32,y=59,bgcol=0x0902,fgcol=0x0209,tap=function()eval()end}))
add(buttons, gui:attach_button({label="+",x=48,y=17,bgcol=0x0b03,fgcol=0x030b,tap=function()set_op("+")end}))

I can't get my custom font with variable width to work
