A small health bar demo project.
Usage
You can tweak the values in the draw_lives() function to change the appearance of the health bar. The 'x' and 'y' variables control the x and y of the top left corner of the health bar, the 'off' variable alters the spacing between the hearts and the 'life' variable controls the number of lives, out of the 'max' variable.
Feel free to use this in any project you may be working on!

Cobb's Adventure
Help Cobb on his adventure to eat as much food as possible!
This is HEAVILY inspired by Adventure Island, a wonderful game series from the mid-80s, although I am most familiar with the Gameboy adaptations in the early 90s.
Features:
- 8 different environments
- Never play the same game twice! Levels are randomly generated every playthrough
- Easy to learn, hard to master - once you can beat the game, go for 3 stars on your score or times!
I strongly recommend a gamepad for this game. If you are committed to keyboarding, consider pressing "Enter" to open the menu, and set "AutoRun" to "ON" so that you dont need to hold a key to run.

Hello everyone!
Here's my first PICO-8 project, a fruit-based match 3 game.
- Matches do not have to be in a line; any continuous region of fruits counts
- Modes with limit on moves, limit on time, without limits, or autoplay
- Fruits!
Feedback is welcome.

Like the title says, I have rudimentary collision detection on the top and sides of my sprite but not on the bottom.
I'm very new to game dev, but I have some experience in python. I can't see if I have a typo, or I've made a mistake in following the tutorial I watched.
--player--
function create_player()
player={
state="normal",
sprite=1,
health=4,
x=64,
y=82,
h=8,
w=8,
gravity=0.30,
friction=0.15,
inertia=0,
thrust=0.80
}
end
function collide(o)
local x1=o.x/8
local y1=o.y/8
local x2=(o.x+7)/8
local y2=(o.y+7)/8
local a=fget(mget(x1,y1),0)
local b=fget(mget(x1,y2),0)
local c=fget(mget(x2,y2),0)
local d=fget(mget(x2,y1),0)
if a or b or c or d then
return true
else
return false
end
end
function move_player(o)
o.y+=o.gravity --applies player gravity
local lx=o.x --last x pos
local ly=o.y --last y pos
if (btn(❎)) o.y-=o.thrust --player move
if (btn(⬅️)) o.x-=0.5
if (btn(➡️)) o.x+=0.5
--if the player collides, moves back
if collide(o) then
o.x=lx
o.y=ly
end
end
function ani_player(o)
if btn(⬅️) then --player animation
o.sprite=2
elseif btn(➡️) then
o.sprite=3
else
o.sprite=1
end
end
function draw_sprite(o)
spr(o.sprite,o.x,o.y)
end

nothing to see here; this cart is a bug repro for @zep
- download this cart:
load #teredubafu - turn down your volume!!
- play sfx 30,31,64,72 in the sfx editor -- the a00/b00
effects cause a high-pitched artifact - note: sfx 65 and 73 are minimally altered versions of 64 and 72
and have no artifact
my system: picotron 0.1.0h / linux

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
-
Open the Extensions sidebar panel in VS Code. View → Extensions
-
Search for Pico-8 theme by mai314
- Click Install
Enjoy!

I'm working on something with lots of overlapping sprites, that need to be drawn in the correct order. After my failed attempts at implementing quicksort, I found a thread suggesting Z values could be used as keys in a table. My table of sprites will be rebuilt every frame, so the plan is to insert sprites at specific positions in the table once they're created. This way, I should hopefully be able to iterate over the table with a for loop without sorting it at all. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure the last part out.
table={}
add(table, 10, 1)
add(table, 20, 2)
add(table, 15, 1.5)
add(table, 27, 2.7)
for i in all(table) do
print(i)
--[[
15
27
10
20
]]
end
print(table[1.5]) --[nil]
print(table[1]) --15 |
As a test, I tried something like this, only to realize add() floors your input keys, and ignores the keys of previously added items. What I really need for this to work, is a way to add a key and value to a table directly, and a way to stop PICO-8 treating my numerical keys like a sequence. I've tried adding items the way you would with string keys, but it didn't work.

it contains the main steps of creation for a warhammer fantasy rp character of the fourth edition which is translated to spanish by Devir (i still don't put the step of the talents because i'm fighting with myself whether to put them in this cartridge or put them in a different one). i wanted to translate it to english and make it equal to the spanish version but i realized that i need the cubicle7 version xd because that one has the data of the roll tables different from the spanish version and i don't want anyone to be confused.
I plan to include the gnome and then try to translate it to english but I want it to be very faithful to the english version.
