I feel like making a set of tutorial carts. What topic would help people the most?
I was thinking of a simple introduction to math for games, since that topic comes up frequently on the forums. Or maybe how to do collision detection? I see people asking about that fairly often too.
Any thoughts? Or suggestions of a topic? Would you find this useful?

Where do all those tetrominoes come from? From the Tetrafabrika, of course!
Build tetrominoes as fast as possible in this manic arcade Sokoban-like.
This is my entry to Lowrezjam 2023--where you make a game at 64x64 resolution or lower.

Do not worry. It's going to be okay.
Has today been rough? Are you feeling a distinct lack of emotion due to outside factors? Come sit down, relax, and distract yourself for a little. Play games of Othello against this sentient void, who will be here to support you. It will be okay.
Made for A Game By Its Cover 2023. Inspired by Lumbud84's cover art for Apathello from the Famicase Exhibition 2023. Developed for PICO-8. Also available on itch.io.
Instructions
- Arrow keys: Move cursor, change player difficulty

Recently I am learning how to combine my collision system with advanced movement into my top-down "walking simulator" cart, when I often found my character "stuck" on the walls.
Note: only applied advanced movement in X axis, while you can go through walls in Y direction in case of stuck.
Collision codes:
function collid(x,y,con) local x1,x2,y1,y2=0,0,0,0 local cflag=0 if con==⬅️ then x1,x2,y1,y2=x,x-1,y,y+7 end if con==➡️ then x1,x2,y1,y2=x+7,x+8,y,y+7 end if con==⬆️ then x1,x2,y1,y2=x,x+7,y,y-1 end if con==⬇️ then x1,x2,y1,y2=x,x+7,y+7,y+8 end if fm(x1,y1,1) or fm(x2,y1,1) or fm(x1,y2,1) or fm(x2,y2,1) then cflag=1 end return cflag end |
function fm(x,y,flag) return fget(mget(z\8,y\8),flag) --assuming solid flag = 1 end |
X-axis movement codes:
function upd_pmove() p.x,p.y=mid(0,p.x,120),mid(0,p.y,120) --x:acc movement if collid(p.x,p.y,➡️)+collid(p.x,p.y,⬅️)==0 then if btn(➡️) then p.dx+=p.acc end if btn(⬅️) then p.dx-=p.acc end else p.dx=-p.dx end p.x+=p.dx p.dx*=friction p.dx=mid(p.dx,p.max_dx,-p.max_dx) ... end |
So, have you got any more adaptative collision to cope with that sticky situation? Or is there any improvement for the movement system? Post here if any!

Anyone know why the site was down for the past 7ish hours? maintenance? did we get hacked?
EDIT: DOWN AGAIN but it seems were back?
Ive also noticed its impossible to create posts/comments. strange. at least edits work?
@zep do you know whats going on? are we getting ddosed?
it also seems that times are incorrect. i am editing this at 10:09 GMT-7 , and the edit date is wrong.
edit 2: seems posts are back? someone posted abt their movement system, so i guess posts are back. comments still dont work. very odd.
edit 3: i guess posts are gone again. maybe its a me issue. someone try posting.
also ive noticed that if you try to post and cant, changing "pid=" in the search bar to "pid= any number" will, if there is a corresponding post, let you view that post as if you were editing posts. even drafts.
edit 4: ive still been getting update notifications from the automated lexaloffle thing, but the links are wrong. maybe an api is down or something broke somewhere.

Mangle08 (!!!SEIZURE WARNING!!!)
What this cart does is poke as many values as possible to mangle pico-8 into an almost unusable state. it will mess with colors, drawing, the map(?), and sounds.
This cart is best experienced when downloaded and ran on desktop pico-8, or at https://www.pico-8-edu.com/ . just type "load #mangle" to load it. after running it for a bit try messing around with the sprite editor, sounds, map, or anything else.

So, i was thinking about a little horror game where you are in like a big complex and there is a monster, you have to hide when its near you and have to escape. Im currently making it and its pretty hard, the mget dosent wanna work so thats bad, but as im typing this out i think i can make it work just by copying it from the collision system. I will post updates how im doing on the game. I hope you will like the full game when it comes out!

Introducing my first PICO-8 game... Hazmat Havoc!
Created with VirtuaVirtue and Pico-8 Gamer.
You play as an Area 51 worker who dropped their keys through a grate during a shift. You must venture through the depths of the facility, either eliminating enemies or perishing!
A pretty standard top-down beat-em-up until around halfway through, when the player gets tired and... opens new doors. Play and find out!
This game had a pretty crazy development cycle. We had two weeks to develop the game for LOWREZJAM. For the first week or so, we were sort of chugging along. But, after multiple nights where a couple people weren't available, it became clear that we were lagging behind! On the last night, we kicked it into high gear. At first, it was going well, except for the fact that Pico-8 Gamer wasn't available. VirtuaVirtue was developing at light speed, and I was steadily progressing through my half of the game. Suddenly though, communication was completely cut off from me to VirtuaVirtue (I later learned that he fell asleep at the keyboard)! It was quite late, and I ended up staying up and coding as much as I could through the entire night... and then I submitted the game 8 minutes before the deadline! Anyways, I hope you enjoy.
