Hi all! It's time once again to start building a PICO-8 holiday calendar thing of some kind. Usually we keep the games a secret while they're in development, so each game is a surprise when it releases in the calendar. If you're interested in participating, shoot me a DM on Discord (thetomster) and I'll get you added to the server where we coordinate things!
We're looking for winter or holiday themed games, and games will need to be wrapped up by the end of November. As we get closer to the deadline we'll look at how many games we have and make a decision about what format to run. The past couple years we've run it as a "twelve days of christmas" thing, but if we get enough sign ups it would be great to get back to a full 25-day calendar.
Interested in joining? DM me on Discord (my username there is thetomster)!

(Compatibility note: if you encoded any QPA files before 2023-09-07, please see the Changes section below.)
DON'T YOU LECTURE ME WITH YOUR 30K PICO-8 CART
Oh, but I will!
Your song is synced with the clipboard - you can copy your songs out to text files (or this thread!) and paste song strings back in to the cart. You can right-click samples to preview them, and you can right-click the play button to skip the intro sample. Numeric modifiers come before the thing they modify. Hopefully you can figure out the rest!
Copy/paste is a little annoying on the web player, and PCM audio can also be unreliable on the web, so consider trying this cart on desktop PICO-8 if you have it.










Here's a small cart I made to learn PICO-8.
There's a menu item in the pause menu that allows you to customize the settings, like the number of pipes spawned.
Inspired/based on pipes.sh.

Repuzzle hint & solution cart
("Resolution")
What's Repuzzle?
Sounds like you're here by mistake.
Head over to Repuzzle's page in the BBS and don't come back unless and until you're well and truly stuck.
What does this cart contain?
All hints and solutions for Repuzzle - revealable in gradual order.
Whether you need a small pointer for a level or five you're stuck on, or whether you want to see all the solutions - this cart has you covered.
Though it won't make getting to the solutions too pleasant!
Controls?
You can use the standard pico8 controls, or you can use the mouse (Mouse wheel and buttons only. The mouse wheel also works inside popups)
