My first Pico 8 cart, an L-system pattern generator dancing to the beat~
(Let me know if I've made any mistakes with the post! :) )

I built this for a friend with a short attention span.
how to play
x to advance through title screens and game over screens
to fold clothes, press the arrows corresponding with the pink arrow indicators over the article of clothing. Do it quickly, before your attention span runs out!
There are seven loads of laundry - fold them all to win! Should be beatable in a handful of minutes.
development notes
8/6/23 - juice (paws, sfx, better arrow indicators), calling it done
8/5/23 - token reclamation, 1 pattern per article, difficulty tuned, 5 stages
8/3/23 - working game, at character limit, 4 patterns per article, impossibly difficult, 7 stages
todo before "done"

Pyromania is a funny game for the LOWREZJAM 2023 that is all about
causing mayhem in the local woods. Your objective is to torch about
all the trees in this high score chasing game!
ATTENTION!

It's not a full version and hasn't been submitted to the jam yet.
Controls
Arrow keys to move

This is free to use!
Use this cartridge anyway you want!
I hope you link back to this post if you use it.
But you don't need to!
This includes:
- Basic collision detection (by mhugson)
- Movement (Friction, Acceleration, Jumping/Gravity)
- Coyote time
- Death animations (Explosion)
- Messy code

Onion OS for the Miyoo Mini Plus seems to be based on Linux so I decided to try to get Pico-8 proper to run on it since FAKE-8 tends to break on a lot of games, plus I miss SPLORE, which seems possible to use given it's WIFI chip. But sadly I'm running into errors.
No matter which version I try to run I get this weird error, IDK if this means it's trying to execute it in the wrong way but it's weird
/mnt/SDCARD/pico-8 2 # ./pico8 ./pico8_32bit: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")") |
Any idea what could be the problem?

What is Heliman?
Simply put, I bet Heliman is the worlds most unfair platformer!
Why so. Because there's like a 3 minute level (still under development)
of pure pixel perfect jumps, frame perfect timings and has no checkpoint...

Controls
Left/Right to run
X to jump
C to copterate
Also, this game is still under development, so feedback would be appreciated!
Bet it takes a couple times for you to beat this, and there is no goal so
you're just testing this... MUAHAHAHAH

Same as last time but some more juice (sadly my dum brain was not able to figure out how to make the player use X for both jumping and flying... )

Possible bug / user error / 'feature' of rounding(?)...
cls()
print("0x7b18.3060")
print(tostr(0x7b18.3060))
print(tostr(31512.189,true))
print(tostr(31512.188965,true)) |
Why does PICO-8 return the s16.16 value for the hexadecimal with too few digits?
i.e. the conversion with tostr() hex>dec>hex is lossy.

Platformer concept using Nerdy Teachers platformer series for base player code, collision, and animations.
Honestly, really proud of this parallax cloud effect, although it's one issue seems to be that the clouds won't move if the player is in the starting position, which maybe has to do with my math moving the x drawing position for the clouds depending on the player.x's positions and being so close to the map limits.
This is my first real pico 8 project!
Let me know if the aesthetic inspires any gameplay ideas!
EDIT:
Spent hours trading code with chatgpt and learning how to implement the cats, they're a little finicky and unpredictable, but that's cats for you.
For now, enjoy endlessly collecting stray cats!

UPDATE: Fixed suspension to lean towards the outside of turns, not the inside.
Welcome to the Whiplash Taxi Company, where our motto is "The slower you're there, the lower the fare!"
As a valued employee and taxi driver, your job is to pick up passengers and deliver them to their destination as fast as possible, by any means necessary.
Passengers are easy to spot, just look for the big red arrows over their heads.
Simply stop next to them so they can jump in!
Then follow the red destination indicator to the destination and stop when it says "stop!".
