I've been working on a table to binary converter that can help compress data and store it in cart rom. I know there have been different attempts in the past, but this version aims to fit only the necessary data and leaves the types to a format string. Though it's only really useful if you have some of the following.
- A lot of data in tables
- A consistent and known table format
- A variety of table formats
- Multiple carts
It works by taking in a table, a writing address, and a format, that generally look like this
tab = {1,2}
form = "[#8,#8]" -- an indexed array of 2 unsigned 8-bit integers
-- form = "[#4,#3]" -- also works with a different number of bits (up to 16)

Hey yall, I just got a hp chromebook 32bit using linux(beta) and am trying to install pico-8. i've followed the instructions on this page https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=139119#p and keep getting the "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" error, when i "./pico8_32bit".
i tried downloading a few other versions of the linux/raspi zip files but still nothing seems to work.
i am a total noob when it comes to linux so it might be the case that i am just messing w/ the code.
thank you in advance <3

I recreated the Card Flip minigame from the Goldenrod game corner in Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal.
It should play just like the official minigame although, instead of paying 3 coins to play, you start with a balance of 1 coin that doubles as your score.

It's just before Christmas, and Santa needs to know...
WHO TOOK THE BOOKS?
This is the sequel game to WHO STOLE THE COAL? - a Pico-8 holiday game from Dec 2020.
A LONG LOST, UNRELEASED GAME!
There was a video game crash, with tons of unsold/unreleased cartridges for the ATOMI 3600 console being buried in the desert in 1983.
Years later in 2014, they were excavated. Amongst the cartridges was a finished sequel to WHO STOLE THE COAL?, which was the original immensely popular game when released. But by the time WHO TOOK THE BOOKS? was finished, the market has collapsed, and it never saw the light of day.
But ATOMI rose from the ashes, recently releasing the ATOMI 3600+, and on it, WHO TOOK THE BOOKS? finally got released to the public. Game players and historians rejoiced!

a cozy lill' walk through some snowy woods
this game is mostly about atmosphere, so no objectives here. just walk around till you feel done :)
the trees
i'm real happy about how natural the tree generation feels so i figured i'd talk about it.
the trees start out like this.
the main thing that helps sell the forest is the random tree placement. but if we just did something like..
tree.x = x + RND(8) - RND(8) tree.y = y + RND(8) - RND(8) |
..then each time we re-spawn the trees for a area they would be in different spots then before. basically we need a function that returns a sudo random value y from value x. thats were this function comes in...

Hello! About a year ago I created the game Supermarket in PICO-8. (File should be attached using the SAVE @CLIP system.) I recently remembered it and wanted to publish it to my portfolio website, but when exporting the HTML and JS files for the game I ran into some trouble.
Here's the game:
Basically, the JS file just ends with "...0,0,0,0," There's no closing "]" to the huge aray of numbers and the error I get in the inspect console is "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input supermarket.js:131"
Any ideas of what's going on here? While a solid solution to this would be great and preffered, it would still just be a great help if someone could send their own HTML and JS files of the game here if that's the best that can be done.
Thanks in advance :)
