Just a color spiral thing I thought was cool, and wanted to share with friends! 😅
rev01:(updated, cleaned up the code a bit, and added psychedelic mode 😆)
rev02:(...we don't talk about rev02)
rev03:(was playing around with some prameters and thought the effects were interesting, so added a system to where the user can play with them themselves! param numbers are in the bottom-left, scroll through them with left and right, multiply / divide by two with up and down.)

Pling Plong Galaxy!
A Revolutionary Spin on Classic Arcade Gaming!
Dive into an electrifying reimagining of the iconic brick-busting genre. In Pling Plong Galaxy!, you're not just moving side to side - you're in full 360-degree control! Steer your ship in a continuous loop, keeping the ball bouncing and smashing bricks, but always stay alert; one wrong move, and it's game over. Combining classic nostalgia with a fresh twist, this game offers endless excitement.
Do you have the reflexes to master the circle?

Working with the music editor. Made a little chiptune demo program.
X and O will play drums, bass and snare
Left and Right will move the dancing man.

I found a simple way to use printh on Windows without any setup by using Terminal in VSCode.
Using Lnk file
- Drag and drop the lnk of PICO-8 into VSCode Terminal;
- Press Enter to run it;
- Use
printhin PICO-8!
Now printh will output its info to VSCode Terminal.
Using p8 file in VSCode
And if you set pico-8.exe as the default program to open your p8 file, you can just drag and drop your p8 file in the VSCode to Terminal. It will open PICO-8 and load the cart and printh still works.
Another way by editing lnk file: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=42367

Controls:
Use the arrows to move. You can use O/X to move the player left or right.
On the keyboard, Z/X corresponds to O/X in the game.
How to play:
Your main task is to reach the exit which is shown in green. The starting position is in red, and yellow is the teleport that teleports you to the gray color. Watch out for obstacles that are active when fully exposed, only then can they kill you. When you die, you return to the starting location.
In "Timer" mode, your task is to get the highest score possible. Finishing rooms and collecting coins gives you points, while dying from obstacles takes them away. Finishing rooms also gives you 5 seconds to the timer.

SINE SURF
SINE SURF is a Bullet heck-ish type of game where you play as a pair of eyeballs stuck on a rapidly moving sine wave dodging flying hands who are very eager to poke you in the eyes.
The goal of the game is to survive for as long as possible by avoiding the hands while trying to keep up with the sine wave so that you don't get eaten alive. Try to survive as long as possible so you can get the highest score and unlock new flavours along the way. Beware, for the longer you survive, the more frequently the hands begin to appear.

Total Planetary Destruction
06 September Edit:
- Fixed some bugs
- Added label name and author (which I forgot to include oops)
This game was my entry into the 'PICO-1K Jam 2023'
The aim of the jam is to create a game in under 1,024 compressed bytes. I managed to get it done, with 11 bytes to spare! Definitely cut it close.
Happy planet hunting!

I'm seeing an issue on mobile (Android) when trying to play any cart.
Once ran, the top buttons for fullscreen, mute, etc disappear. I can no longer toggle fullscreen to play on my device.
I have just noticed that this happens when you are logged in. If I log out from the bbs and try to run a cart, the buttons show up again :O
(tested on Android with Chrome and Firefox).
Does anyone know a workaround for this? Or is this a known bug? (couldn't find anything by searching the bbs)

This is a modified version of this cart: DVD Logo Screensaver by Discoh. I modified it by using the PICO-8 logo and making the collisions work across the entire screen. Nothing special happens if it hits the corner.

When you have a creature that reproduces, and this reproduction is imperfect, then you have the necessary ingredients for evolution.
This simple simulation shows evolutionary mechanics occurring in a virtual petri dish.
Each "individual" has a single gene, that determines its color and its reproduction probability. When an individual reproduces, there is a small chance that its offspring will mutate, earning a smaller or higher value of the gene.
Over time, individuals with higher reproduction probability will slowly dominate the petri dish over their slower neighbors.
Inspired by Avida-ED
I still want to improve things a little bit. Give the creatures more visual variety, and add some more audio-visual juice. Suggestions / comments / hacks welcome!

I'm working on a game in Pico-8 but it won't load my file dispite saying that it saved (I'm on Windows 10).

I wrote a music theory tutorial for PICO-8, available here: https://bikibird.itch.io/music-theory. It's designed for people who want to make their own music for PICO-8 games, but feel they don't have the skill or talent to do so.
The tutorial provides an introduction to the basics of pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm and composition within the context of PICO-8. It explores music in a decidedly mathy way through a series of interactive demos that use spatial relations to connect sound to vision.
Only the parts of music theory that are relevant to PICO-8 are covered. No prior knowledge of music is assumed. There's no reading sheet music or needing to play an instrument.

So it turns out I never uploaded the first game I ever made. I thought I had lost this thing for years. Recently I found an old broken version and managed to fix it up to be releasable. Enjoy!
Controls
Arrow keys to move
X to drop a bomb
How to play
Dropping a bomb will cause it to drift for a bit before exploding, it will also spawn in another eyeball. The more eyeballs on screen the more points you get for killing them. You have 30 seconds to get the highest score possible.

Vacay Volley is a simple game where you juggle a ball in the air as long you can without letting it touch the ground. Watch out for wandering crabs and gulls while aiming for red balloons. Hitting 3 balloons will temporarily double your points. Dive if the ball is out of reach. Thanks for playing!
