Hi Pico-8 community! a few months ago I built a pico8 themed VS code extension, it follows the colour scheme of the pico 8 text editor, and I have also added instructions in the read me on how to get the font and the cursor!

You can get it here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mai314.pico-8-theme&ssr=false#overview

or

  1. Open the Extensions sidebar panel in VS Code. View → Extensions

  2. Search for Pico-8 theme by mai314

  3. Click Install

Enjoy!

Sorry if this is a completely dumb question. I'm new to Pico 8 and game dev in general. I'm stuck in my first project attempting to randomize map layouts. My game is a simple vertical scrolling game where the player moves from side to side to avoid obstacles. I'd like to begin on one screen, and then end on a final screen with the ones in between being a random selection from the 12 or so other screens I've drawn. I know the easiest way to do this is probably with nested tables, but I'm having trouble understanding how I could accomplish this. Any help would be awesome.

I wanted a tool to help me import a large folder of asset .pngs (such as one you might get from https://kenney.nl/) into .gfx files. I know there are tools such as @pancelor 's helpful importpng.p64 (or just click-n-dragging onto the gfx editor), but I didn't want to do that for hundreds of files.

Using importpng.p64 as a foundation, I create a command-line utility for Picotron that will import entire folders of assets into .gfx files! Below is the snippet that you'll put in /appdata/system/utils/simport.lua

-- a tool to import all pngs in a folder into a single .gfx file
-- tool by  @fletch_pico
-- version 1.1
-- 
-- makes use of:
-- importpng.p64 code by   @pancelor
-- https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141149

cd(env().path)
local argv = env().argv

if (argv[1] == "--help") then
	print("Usage: simport [FOLDER]")
	print("Populate the .gfx file using a folder of PNGs.")

I finally figured out how sprite flags work!
This is my second ever Celeste mod and technically my first mod with new mechanics.

I'm trying to change my email, so tried to change it through my account settings. After I put the new email in the email field, I get an confirmation email, but when I click at the confirmation link that's sent to that email, the bbs email doesn't change, I just get log out from my account. Pls help!

my request
here are some fragments of the game code

if collectibletype==colt_ring then
s.score=100
end
add(entities,s)
return s
end
function collectible_update(s)
end

now if on one level I have 3 rings the same and for each ring I get 100 points
I would like to change the code to something like this
if collectibletype==colt_ring then
s.bonus+=1 end
if s.bonus=1 then s.score=100 end
if s.bonus=1 then s.score=200 end
if s.bonus=1 then s.score=400 end
so that for getting the first ring in any order there would be 100 points, for the second 200 points, third 400 points
