The truth is that I tried to talk to the musician on my team but he didn't respond and I was worried that he wouldn't want to work with me, so I published the first trailer for Sonic the Movie, the preview of the game. because it seems like he doesn't want to work with me, please, yes. If you can contact him I would appreciate it. He is @notehead and he is the only one I have on the team.

Hello!

I would like to ask to zep if there are any plans of porting the applications (pico8, picotron, voxatron) to arm64 and aarch64 for Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I was just chilling the other day when I had the idea to make a BrainF*** Fantasy Console!

IN PICOTRON (Prototyping in p-8 is fine

It works the same as BrainF*** (See https://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck)

Except...

1. { And } work the same as [ and ] except they only jump when the current cell != 0

2. +,-,< And,> can now have a Base-10 byte (0-255) after them indicating how much to add/subtract/etc to the current cell.

3. Speaking of arithmetic, there will be a new symbol called "*" that just sets the current cell to the value after it.

4. "," Will now only output a number 1-6 depending on what PICO-8 Button is pressed. (L=0, R=1, etc)

5. "." Now Is more Complicated!

   The number following number meansL

   0: A1Z26 (prints in 0,0)
   1: A number!

   2. Hexadecimal
      3: A GRID!!!

The grid is as follows:
X,Y
0,0 ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
... ... ... 3,3

This works like So:

Btw if you are looking for my yt, put an @ in front of HenPlaysss in the YouTube link.

With the release of Picotron to the digiverse, I feel as though the general consensus is to upgrade from less to MORE:

More sprites
More data
More map (extra files even!)
More detailed sound/music

But what I want to know is: in your opinion, does Picotron possess a comparable level of features to Pico-8 at this point in time?

Is the jump to Picotron recommended yet?

Thanks.

como sabrán existe una versión educativa online de pico ¿pero existe una de voxatron? gracias

I recently got PICO-8 with Picotron and Voxatron. The default icons looked out of place on my Mac and I decided to make icons and post them here for other Mac users.
The icons are for PICO-8, Picotron, Voxatron, Lexaloffle BBS, PicoCAD, and PicoSynth.
The icons are images that can be saved from the browser for use on a Mac running Big Sur or higher.

I've seen many people on the BBS/Discord struggling to grapple with intermediate pixel art concepts, so I wanted to write a post commemorating Pixel Art etiquette so that you, even you, reader, can create your own pixel art.

What is Pixel Art?

Pixel art is any drawing made from a set palette of colors where the colors act as though limited by a grid. Pixel art is art made from squares. It was widely used in early video game and computer graphics, and has grown a large following for its pleasing aesthetic.

Why Should I Learn Pixel Art?

There is no formal reason to learn pixel art. It is not often enough to stake a career on. In many circles, pixel art is considered dated, if not obsolete. The only reason to learn pixel art is for the fun of learning pixel art within itself, though it does have applications within stylized/indie game development and graphic design for retro machines. If you master pixel art, you may also find an improved skill in art and graphic design.

I need help adding a variable to a menu. I've created simple menus that I can add plain text to with "", but I have no idea how to add a variable to that menu.
Context is that the variable is a hunger meter that will go down periodically. I want the menu to display the current number of hunger.

el equipo seria así: persona 1 el quien programe Yo ago la parte grafica y dirijo al grupo persona 3 el quien agá la música del juego (lugar de musico ocupado por @headnote) y finalmente las personas las cuales son opcionales y si tengo el grupo principal y solo me faltan estas personas esperare 3 días pero si los del grupo me dicen que me tarde mas o menos esperándolos lo are persona 4 la que ayude al programador a programar persona 5 la que me ayude a mi por que la verdad sera difícil dirigir el grupo entonces me quedaría bien persona 6 la que ayuda a la persona 3 en la música y eso es todo serian 3 o 6 personas en el grupo así que son bienvenidos hablantes de español y ingles The team would look like this: person 1, the one who programs, I do the graphic part and lead the group, person 3, the one who adds the music of the game (occupied by @headnote) and finally the people who are optional and if I have the main one. group and I only need these people, I will wait 3 days but if those in the group tell me that it will take more or less to wait for them, person 4 will be the one who helps the programmer to program, person 5 will help me because the truth will be. It is difficult to lead the group so it would be good for me to have the help of the 6th person. to the 3rd person in the music and that's it, there would be 3 or 6 people in the group, so Spanish and English speakers are welcome.

Hey @zep ! I just wanted to call a specific bug with the new UI's to attention. First off, the new ui's look great, but they have been causing issues with Code blocks in previews, on a user's page. Take a look.

As you can see, since the code block isnt technically being closed, since the preview is cutting it off, its eating up the continue reading button! This isnt the most site-breaking issue, but it is still annoying. You can see this by visiting my blog page and scrolling down to "CCGA".

Thank you for reading!

hola a todos existe un juego creado con pico el cual trae la version pagada pero yo solo tengo la online entonces como la obtengo es justo la que aparece abajo en el anuncio de compra

Sorry everyone, I explained my problem poorly, let's go again this time. Well, it turns out that out of curiosity I wanted to open my save files in the file explorer and it asked me to open it with an application and it gave me to choose an application and I put win rar and then it told me that it couldn't be opened and I decided to publish the project but it told me that it was invalid and then I tried to open it with peak 8 but it didn't work it kept saying that it was invalid so what should I do? thanks for the help

Creating boxart for your games

After watching @thesailor create a manual I felt inspired to create some boxart for their game.

I also turned the file I used for that into a template that I would like to share with all of you. Your games deserve a nice box, your games deserve to be displayed! Maybe add a little manual or a QR code that leads straight to the game. And do share what you come up with :)

Make your own boxart!

You can find the template on my itch.io
