I'm surprised no one has made a 3d PS1/N64 Style fantasy console yet. It should exist by now, there's a lot of people making fantasy consoles and using them, but apparently not. Would be cool to see though.

thats right, i made optimised sprite drawing for picotron, although, you might wanna have chatGPT do it for you...
function sprpt(s,x,y)
if s=="star!" then
rectfill(x+2,y+2,x+5,y+5,10)
rectfill(x+3,y,x+4,y+1,10)
pset(x,y+2,10)
pset(x+1,y+2,10)
pset(x+1,y+3,10)
pset(x+7,y+2,10)
pset(x+6,y+2,10)
pset(x+6,y+3,10)
pset(x+1,y+6,10)
pset(x+2,y+6,10)
pset(x+1,y+7,10)
pset(x+6,y+6,10)
pset(x+5,y+6,10)
pset(x+6,y+7,10)
end
if s=="heart!" then
rectfill(x,y+1,x+7,y+4,8)
rectfill(x+1,y,x+2,y+5,8)
rectfill(x+5,y,x+6,y+5,8)
rectfill(x+2,y+5,x+5,y+6,8)
rectfill(x+3,y+5,x+4,y+7,8)
end
end
function _update()
sprpt("star!",30,30)
end |
i spent more time on the star because even copy+paste does not save much
yes, admittedly, it does not work from data based sprites, its code based only! if you want an unoptimized lazy version, ill upload one later!

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.

yup, i decided to get lore put into my game, it is not complete yet but heres the description to start the lore before the game is done!:
Dive into the heart of the digital universe and embrace the role of Node 42, a digital storage unit with a destiny unlike any other. In "N O D E," a retro action-adventure game, you will embark on an epic journey to protect Nodekind from the malevolent threat of "The evil master"

You wake up in a steel bunker, sweat dripping down your face in a futile attempt to cool you. As you heave the cast iron door open and stumble out into the sand, you realise that you are isolated. You are the only human out here.
You are alone.
This is a smoll little game i'm working on, right now there's only a very very basic movement and camera system in place. Leave some feedback on what I should improve, and have fun (if that's possible at this stage)!

I can't wrap my head around this issue, because it really seems like there is none, and I feel like either I am going schizo or PICO-8 is.
I'm working on a prototype platformer to learn a bit.
Basically, the logic of the animation I came up with is making a timer that could count up to 10 by 0.5 per frame in the update() function (so, basically, a timer that went up by 1 every two frames).
I then set up my commands function so that every time i press either left or right, the player not only moves in that direction, but also changes sprites in its spr() function (the player sprite is saved in the PL table under the SPT variable).
This is done by calling a custom function, anim() in the if statements of the commands() function. anim() is a custom function that basically changes the PL.SPT (the player sprites) based on the value of the timer I spoke about earlier.
So far so good. Surely not the most efficient way to pull this off, but still, glad I worked it out. Except I didn't, because even though it works with the left button, I CANNOT get it to work with the right button. I just cannot find a reason for the left button to work and for the right button not to, but it just doesn't and tbh I'm going crazy because I really can't see an issue with my code (except extremely high inefficiency :D).
I know this is not the best way to pull off the animation, but now its beyond my point. I REALLY wanna know what's wrong with this code above all else.
ALSO the AND X<10 in the BTN if Statements are useless, I already realized that.

This prototype was made for Pico-View, a monthly web-zine hosted on NerdyTeachers.com.
This month's prototype is named "Slimer Climber", a vertical platform jumper featuring platforms that have an oscillating width as the main obstacle.
Go ahead and tweak, add, re-theme, and build whatever you want on this for your own vertical platforming game!
Don't forget to share it here on the BBS with the tag "prototype-party" so we can see what you were inspired to create. And keep your eyes out for more in the coming issues of Pico-View!
