A game for Brackeys Game Jam!

Ladybug Joana must brave a treacherous storm to rescue her children and return home safely. The player must expertly balance and time their actions during moments of calm, when the winds and rain subside, with the intense, turbulent periods that threaten to sweep Joana off course. Mastering this delicate balance is key to overcoming the challenges and reaching the safety of home.

A simplex noise implementation that I grabbed from Github (https://github.com/weswigham/simplex) and made it work in Picotron (only had to replace bit.band with native & bit operation, and made the simplex variable global since picotron doesnt seem to support return values from files). Performance doesn't look super great (?) - I tried converting it to use userdata for vector operations but it didnt seem to improve much.

For example, the main cart code is this:

include "simplex.lua"

local colors={0,1,19,3,27,11,26,10,7}
function mapcol(t)
	t=max(0,min(1,t))
	local n=#colors
	return colors[flr(t*n)+1]
end

--n will be the "seed"
n=0
function noise(x,y)
	x+=n*10000
	return simplex.Noise2D(x,y)
	+ 0.5*simplex.Noise2D(2*x,2*y)
	+ 0.25*simplex.Noise2D(4*x,4*y)
end

function _draw()
	cls()
	flip()
	for x=0,479 do
		for y=0,269 do
			local t = (noise(x/50,y/50)+1)/2
			pset(x,y,mapcol(t))

As I am writing this, the changelog for v0.1.1c gives the command to enable the icons to snap to a grid as this:
store("/appdata/system/filenav", {desktop_snap=true})

However, that command does not work. The ACTUAL command needed is this:
store("/appdata/system/filenav.pod", {snap_to_grid=true})

EDIT

The changelog has now been updated with the proper command!

I'm working on a Celeste Classic mod and am still getting familiar with the game's code. I'm hoping to add a simple feature but could use some help. The idea is that you must collect every berry in the game, and if you don't, the flag at the end will reset the game, giving you another try to collect them.

If anyone could assist me with coding this, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

X-Galactic

This is my second Pico-8 game. It is a demake of Galactix for MS-DOS.

Story:

The story is included into the game itself in the story option from the main menu, the story is from Galactix (all story credits go to the original authors of Galactix)

Main Menu

Gameplay:

X-Galactic takes place over 100 waves (full game mode) or 50 waves (half game mode), destroy all enemy ships in each wave to progress to the next wave, watch out though some waves take place in asteroid fields.
When destroyed, some ships release pickups, use the claw to collect them, at the end of each wave there will be a short delay of about 8 seconds to allow collection of pickups, if no pickups exist the delay will be about 4 seconds.

I dug this cartridge up at the landfill.

Submission for PICO-1K Jam 2024

Commented source code

I just noticed, why is the page so weird? how can I fix it.

I have a problem

this is how my daily life goes:

• I get a awesome idea.

• I start forming the vision (in my mind or paper)

• Have a full gamdesign document

• Next day start new project

• Next ~month I work and improve the game every minute possible.

• the motivation starts fading

• forget for a few days or I work way less

• cycle repeats

And just by following this workflow, I have created many many games.
They are (mostly) all basically finished and are missing very little to completion.
Here is a list of all:

• Failed Monsters
  

  

  Man oh man, this is basically my first game and I havent been working on it for months.
  This project has been dragging me for years. Because this has been looking like this

  • Make new feature

  • Oh, 8192...

  • Next two weeks optimizing and learning new things

  • Oh, I was so bad three weeks ago, this code could be done way better

  • One week later, what can I add next?

  and thats how time went making this game, which is a shame. To me this game is a result of my learning with pico 8, thats why its full with bugs. and my current skills clash with my old ones. thats why its hard to work on it.

Recently I learned how to add my own widgets to the tooltray, but I'd also like to remove the default widgets (eyes and clock) to further customize my desktop. Is there a way to do it?

Hi everyone, this is the second game I'm working on. It is a maze/puzzle game about a ninja that needs to find the correct way to exit the level (The G is the way out for now). It is still in progress but I think I already have all the mechanics I need for it, I just need to complete the set of levels and polish everything a bit.

Hi everyone, I'm new to PICO-8 and game development.
I wrote a simple top down shooter game for the console and I would like to share it.
I also wrote a simple post about the game and its development: https://santiac89.github.io/articles/face-of-mars/index.html

Hope you enjoy it!

Just made this vic-20 font snippet and graphic mimics today! Usefull for nolstalgics.

This is a Pico8 demake of one of my original games.

Notes

This is a programming puzzle game where you use simple commands to reach the goal in each stage.
And as a programming puzzle game, it at least expects you understand the core concepts of programming, like execution order, variables, loops, etc.

This game does feature save data.
It saves automatically upon beating a level, or unlocking a new area.

In 0.2.6 and earlier, this code snippet would print out hi.

if(true)--[[
]]print('hi')

In 0.2.6b, this is a syntax error instead

'then' expected near 'print'
