Hi I'm very new to this forum.
My trouble today is, that I searched for Asesprite and found some posts.
Later I came back and searched again, but now I got no results! Only a Message "no new posts found".
How can I search for already read posts?

Thank's

Currently I'm trying to learn tline() by simply drawing the map. However, I have no idea how the parameters work. Apparently, according to the pico 8 wiki, tline()'s 5th and 6th parameters are expressed in "fractional map tiles" but I don't get what that means...
Can someone give a brief explanation?

Good morning,
the sound quality is poor when playing a game directly on the browser.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks a lot

Here is a list of bugs/annoyances in the BBS:

Important:

• Code preview is broken, if you click on the code button under the pico-8 web player, it doesn't show the code. (It's the right size now, but still no code. Definitely an improvement!) Fixed!

Minor:

• The padding around the pico-8 web player is too big.
• The featured buttons at the top of the BBS don't show the author, it just says "by ".

There are a couple more, but they're not really issues, so I've omitted them.

running and walking and running dont work???
this is after i ran the game for a while

In A Prototype Version Of pizza tower pico build there was a unused desert level do you want it?

Current Functions:

• Heal(x) --Restores HP by x
• SetHP(x) --Resets HP to x

I made this game a while ago but forgot to ever upload it. Here it is and I hope you enjoy!

How to Play:

• pick up the ball by pressing the shoot button with your hand underneath it
• dribble the ball (by pressing down) to regain energy
• use energy to jump, run, and shoot
• hold run or jump buttons to perform each ability more strongly
• don't forget to choose a course!

Build john gutter level

I found myself doing BFS over a very large graph space and with vertices that carry a lot of information. My for this solution in C++ was to use bitsets to store the information in a vertex. I found no documentation of bitsets for Pico or Lua, so I thought of something I call a "nibbleset." A nibbleset is a metatable that holds numbers, and each nibble of the set of numbers can be accessed.

nibbleset = {}

--Set nibble at index i to a value v:
function nibbleset.set(a,i,v)
  if i/8 > #a then
    return
  end

  local n = ceil(i/8)
  local s = tostr(a[n],1)
  local tr = "0x"
  i-=1 i%=8 i+=1
  if(i>4) i+=1

  for j=1,9 do
     if j==i then
       tr..=v
     else
       tr..=s[j+2]
     end
  end
  a[n]=tonum(tr)
end

--Set nibble at index i to zero:
function nibbleset.reset(a,i)
  if i/8 > #a then
    return
  end

  local n = ceil(i/8)

minor updates. but more playable

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

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.")
