This is a demo I made as a challenge to create a whole game to fit in Pico 8 Education edition's URL functionality. The whole game fits into (EDIT: THE URL DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE, I'LL FIX IT SOON) this URL. 431 tokens and 1196 total characters, this was hard for me because im still learning new things everyday about pico 8.

This is the tinytest library for pico-8; it was inspired by the tinytest javascript library by Joe Walnes. It provides a basic unit test framework.

You can use it one of two ways: as a no frills library or as a singing, dancing cart.

Library Usage

You will enjoy colored text reports but otherwise no frills, but it's very flexible this way.

#include tinytest.p8

tinytest:new():run({
  demo_pass = function(t)
    t:ok(true, "hi")
  end,

  demo_fail = function(t)
    t:ok(false, "bye")
  end,

  demo_error = function(t)

Code for combining simple animations together to create more complex animations using + and * operators.

Cart #animation_operators-0 | 2023-09-09 | Code ▽ | Embed ▽ | License: CC4-BY-NC-SA
3

The example uses four simple animations—each one just a different coloured circle starting in a different corner and moving to the diagonally opposite corner—and combines them in different ways to create the final animation.

For simple animations A and B:

  • The + operators first runs A and, once it's finished, runs B.
  • The * operator runs both A and B at the same time.

As with normal addition and multiplication you can string together as many animations as you want and use parentheses to indicate a particular ordering.

To create animations use new_animation() and then give the animation object an init method. The init method should return a table containing a draw and an update function; update should return true when the animation has finished.

  a = new_animation()
  a.init = function()
     local offset = 0
     return {
        update=function()
           offset += 5
           if offset > 128 then
              return true
           end
        end,
        draw=function()
           circfill(offset, offset, 2, 7)
        end
     }
  end

The animation object then needs to be instantiated to use it.

  anim = a() -- or a.init(), same thing

  function _update()
     anim.update()
  end

  function _draw()
     cls()
     anim.draw()
  end

Having the init function means you can use the same animation multiple times since any internal values, like offset, will be re-initialized each time. You don't need to initialize the animation each time when combining animations, that's handled internally, you only need to initialize the combined animation as a whole.

  -- creates a compound animation which will play the simple animation
  -- three times in a row.
  anim = (a + a + a)() -- or (a + a + a).init(). Again, same thing.

Lua Code (indented 3 spaces)

do
   local ani_meta = {
      __add=function(self, other)
         local an = new_animation()
         an.init = function()
            local children = {self(), other()}
            local i = 1
            return {
               update=function()
                  local a = children[i]
                  if a.update() then
                     i += 1
                     if i > 2 then
                        return true
                     end
                  end
               end,
               draw=function()
                  local a = children[i]
                  a.draw()
               end
            }
         end
         return an
      end,
      __mul=function(self, other)
         local an = new_animation()
         an.init = function()
            local children = {self(), other()}
            return {
               update=function()
                  local done = true
                  for a in all(children) do
                     local d = a.update()
                     done = done and d
                  end
                  return done
               end,
               draw=function()
                  for a in all(children) do
                     a.draw()
                  end
               end
            }
         end
         return an
      end,
      __call=function(self)
         return self.init()
      end,

I saw kenney.nl released a free CC0 set of 8x8 city-themed tiles in the PICO8 palette, which looked interesting (thank you Kenney!)

Because that set includes more tiles than would fit in a PICO-8 cart, I chose a subset that were most interesting to me and copied them into a PICO-8 cart so I could play around with a few ideas, with some very quick throwaway code to let me move and animate sprites, layer them on top of each other so I could have cars "drive behind" trees, and so on, just to help with prototyping visual ideas.

I saw a few people posting on Mastodon asking if there was a pico8 cart that included these assets, so I figured I'd share this in case it was useful to anyone else for playing around, to save the time of slicing and dicing the tilemap into a PICO8 format. Note: I modified a few of the sprites and added a few other unique combo sprites and accessory sprites for the types of terrain intersections I found myself wanting to draw, but 99% of this is just directly the asset pack from above, packaged into a PICO8 cart.

I played a lot of Celeste corruption mods, including Bad Berries by praiseafrog, which was the main thing that inspired to make this.

In this mod, the game slowly corrupts as it goes on, but the rate of corruption increases each time you dash. It works like Real Time Celester but each dash adds 2 to the corruption amount.

I've never beaten the game like this have fun lol.

This is based on Real Time Celester by AdamMcKibben and of course the original Celeste by Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry.

Hey! I've been at this for a few hours now but I'm stumped

How do I implement it so that as I reach the edge of the map it endlessly loops back around? I'm trying to do this with a parallax effect on 3 (or maybe eventually 4) layers but I keep ending up walking into blank space

from launch, the easiest way to see this is to just try to walk backwards

only one of the layers is fully drawn but It's not looping correctly at all. some things are commented out as I was debugging but as of rn I'm lost

thanks in advance for any help

###This was originally created for the 2023 4MB Game Jam which had the theme "Quantum Jump"!

This version has been given a few additional quality of life features and polishes to make it more of a game and less of a tech demo. Only one level though because I was shortsighted coding my transitions and I'm finally acknowledging to myself that I don't want to refactor this further. If you're dying for more magic flying squirrel in space action though, let me know and maybe I'll dust it back off!

Basic Controls

X - Launches from gravity wells, or tuck in his wings to fall faster. Press x to start the game.

Left and Right arrow keys - Move while mid-air

Another little game for the four-year-old, who is unaccountably into bin lorries. Seriously, once a relative came round with a present for him and they were all like, 'sorry, I wanted to get like a fire engine or something but they only had this dustbin lorry, I'm sorry, I'll take it back' and it was, reasonably enough I suppose, quite hard to explain to them that no, this is exactly what he wants, this is better than a fire engine.

Anyway.

Drive the bin lorry to the bins, get out (with O) and pick up the bin (with O), then walk it back to the truck, put it in the truck (with O), get back in the triuck (with O) and keep going. There are 30 bins, get them all emptied into the truck as fast as you can.

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.)
