Description
This is the very very beginning of my first attempt to make a PICO8 game.
Mainly I'm sharing it now so I can explain what I'm trying to do to my friends.
Press X to fire a shot.
Arrows Keys to move.
Changes
10/24/2023:
- Added tank movement.
11/4/2023:
- Added smoke from both sides of the barrel per the suggestion of @historymaker118 .
- Reduced firing animation speed slightly (now that I know I can skip frames by using decimals)
- Added something to shoot along with an explosion effect.
- Added shooting sound.
Known Issues:
- Collision is only being detected in the Y direction.
- Tank movement is to fast and "unrealistic"

With much inspiration from a well known arcade game by Atari™️

Gameplay
The gameplay has the entire playing field rotating around the ship, like you're playing the game from the ship's perspective.

This is a character generator specifically designed to work with the Dark Dungeons OSR game, (which is a clone of the BECMI version of D&D)

I challenged myself to make an entire 30-level Celeste Classic mod in 30 minutes. That's only a minute per level! Fortunately, I was up to the task, but the result is... interesting.

On your first turn, press the O button to let the computer go first.
Use the arrow keys to select matchsticks and O to remove them.

1.2:
- Fixed bug where game would freeze at victory screen

Virtual Judgement Shenanigans
Made for 242th Trijam, a jam where the goal is to code a game in under 3 hours.
Another story-based game! Not as happy with how this turned out; the end result was pretty rushed, but I entered it anyway cus why not.
Anyway, enjoy!

And I'm not just talking about putting an emulator in a specially designed box, you could obviously do such a thing. Rather, what I'm talking about is having all of the consoles hardware implemented in discrete logical chips, effectively removing the "fantasy" from the phrase "fantasy console". This might sound like a daunting, if not impossible task, but I have reason to believe it is quite possible!
You see, the official implementation of the Lua programming language doesn't just interpret it's source code by analyzing the program tree. Rather, it compiles it into a bytecode which is then emulated as a virtual machine. In fact, this virtual machine is the reason why some code takes longer to run than other code, because the program is also emulating the amount of time the CPU needs to process it.
With this in mind, it seems like it should be entirely possible to create a physical version of one, assuming that a Lua bytecode CPU actually existed. Slap it together with some RAM and a BIOS, and a surprising form of merchandise just might be born! What some of your thoughts?

BUN BUN SAMURAI
Overview
The Hero, weary of fighting in the endless wars fueled by squabbling nobility, wanders across a countryside overridden by bandits and wild ronin. He hopes only to return to the peaceful village he once called home. Wherever he goes, he protects the weak and helpless, leaving no evil unbloodied.
Gameplay
- Movement - Directional buttons.
- Attack - Press direction and [O] button.
Attacking and Combos
- Killing an enemy grants the Hero Prestige.
- Enemies are not killed by direct attacks - only by knocking them into other enemies or objects. Knocking an enemy into more enemies or objects causes a combo chain worth more Prestige for each impact.

I'm wanting to get full keyboard and mouse input for my games, but I can't seem to find anything on it in the pico-8 forums or in the pico-8 help itself. It would be awesome if someone could help!

I notice mapdraw(), the deprecated name for map() got removed from jelpi.p8 at some point, but it's still being used in cast.p8.
Also, I see band() in jelpi.p8 when we want people using the & operator instead.
Maybe set up a script to grep the demos for the known-deprecated functions and just add new patterns whenever something is deprecated, then run the script before the each publish?

Hi,
Further enhancements to the compression format (10-20% smaller, especially in photos), and about 2x faster image rendering.
I made the repositories public, pls give them a try :)
