Hi everyone!
I have managed to get Pico8 running on my RetroPie setup. It works great!
However, I am having some problems changing the size of the games. It looks like a slightly squashed rectangle now. The screenshot shows two long vertical bars at left/right. The right sonic is from retroarch, it is able to scale to the entire screen
From what I see from log.txt

Is there a way I can alter the window size? I have tried various suggestions around, some involved me adding new lines to config.txt.

Hey everyone, I got into Pico-8 games thanks to getting a Miyoo Mini with Onion OS that has baked in Pico emulation. I've lightly started learning Unity and Unreal engines, but I'm no developer by any means.
I saw and played the cart Pico Hot (previously played the vr version) on my tiny little handheld and was blown away by it existing or running at all in Pico, and I really want to learn and build a "hopefully" simple little game.
Seeing as there's vector and raster support, and there's a Wolfenstein & Doom demake, I had the thought of (I've been playing a lot of extraction shooters lately) a first person game running through an open field, stepping left or right to go around low obstacles/cover, avoiding or firing a single basic weapon (like a mosin) at random enemy spawns on your path until you get his once and die or make it a random distance and "extract". Am I an idiot with thinking this would be possible at all in this engine, or it is but well beyond my entry level of understanding?

Hello!
I just got Pico-8 and I want to start making games for it,
I already know some python, but nothing about lua or Pico-8.
Do you have any advice on how I should learn to make Pico-8 games,
Thank you :)

This is a deeply ill-advised prototype of an idea I had where one half of the screen is playing Dr Mario and the other half is playing Tetris. In order to make a block fall in Tetris you have to build it in Dr Mario, and if you want to keep getting blocks in Dr Mario you need to clear lines in Tetris (because cleared lines break into parts and fall back down in the other game).
It's built for one player but the two-player mode might work better. I don't know because I don't currently have access to a second player.

A tiny golfing game for the 2024 Advent Calendar.
Last Minute Cookies
Santa is coming but you forgot to put a cookie on his plate!
Try your best to nudge it on there so he can enjoy it.
How To Play
Nudge the cookie onto the plate and try to beat the par(times of strokes an "average" player needs to beat the level) for any given level.
Watch out for obstacles, blue spots slowing you down and yellow spots speeding your cookie up.
This game saves your progress, so do share your achievements!
Special thanks
First and foremost a big thank you to @bikibird for organizing this amazing calendar!

角斗场

--完成了战斗的雏形，添加了几个兵种和简单的物理引擎。
--兵种：
1.战士：拥有较高的血量，适中的伤害和攻速，但移动速度较慢。
2.射手：可以远程攻击，但血量低，且移动速度最慢。
3.盗贼：较快的移动速度，高攻速，但一次攻击血量较少。
4.战斧：可以攻击180°之内的敌人，但攻速较慢。
5.骑兵：很高的攻击力，且具有敏捷的特性，即第一次攻击无需等待，相当于可以冲击第一个敌人，造成较大的伤害或击杀，并且骑兵没有到攻击范围内停止的机制，会一直冲撞敌人，冲乱敌人的阵型。

PICO 2 Cars
Introduction:
10 years ago I downloaded the game 2 Cars by KetchApp games on my iPhone.
I absolutely loved it. I have played it continuously over the last decade. In fact, it is the only game that I have kept installed on my phone all these years, even though I have upgraded my device multiple times. It's a keeper!
Ever since then though, I have always wished that I could make my own version of this game... But I hadn't touched code since High School. I loved to code in the early days and always thought I would go into Software Development and Game Development, but life took me on a different path.
With the advent of AI tools, I was finally able to make my wish happen!

I´m doing this cartridge to learn about LUA and Picotron
It´s the classic arcade Space Invaders (under construction)....nothing else to explain

Hello!
I am new at Picotron and I´m studying the system and LUA language to enjoy it!
From now, I love it an it´s fun: very nice work!
I have a problem with coroutines and HTML version: in HTML version the executuion freezes (a loop with a yield inside) or the coroutines dont have any effect
Also, in HTML, time-dependant actions aren´t as accurate as in "cartridge" execution (I´m talking about changing Pan of a sound frame to frame, as the sound-emitter changes it position)
I don´t know if this is a normal behaviour or if it is a bug...I understand that HTML "player" or interpreter isn´t as powerful as the Picotron System
I´ll put here and example
function _draw()
cls()
print_one_by_one("Hello world!!!!")
end
function print_one_by_one(string)
for i=1, #string do
print(string[i],8*(i-1),0,7)
for j=1, 15 do
yield()
end
end
while(not btn(5)) do yield() end

Sleigh Another Day
Santa is training for the big day. Help him navigate his sleigh through the snowy mountains of Lapland and return safely to his workshop in this procedurally-generated one-button game.
How to Play
One button: press X to jump/fly.
In later levels you can collect magic coins which allow you to press X again while airborne to extend your flight.
Credits
Code by I Am Penguin
Particle effects adapted from example by Nerdy Teachers
Notes
This is my first Pico-8 game. Getting the difficulty right in a procedurally generated game has been difficult, so feedback is welcome. You may need to try some of the later levels a few times before you're successful and remember where to press X, but I've tried to make it fairly easy for casual gamers like me.

Celeste: Blue Side
This is my first levelpack! This was made for me to learn about cc modding, so I used the classic cartridge, this includes a nightly asthetic, some revamped rooms, Bluelline, Nightberries and some mushrooms!
This may have some unseen bugs and unwanted cheesy routes, so warn me about it.
Personal Difficulty: Advanced
ATTENTION: Past old site, this uses some speedrun tech, I HIGHLY suggest you playing Lableste first before this.
P.S. I dont know if gemskip is possible or not, you can try but I didn't optimize this for gemskipping .3.

I made this little game and I wanted to upload it so I can find it in the splore, in the findable section.
I was curious about the process.
Can someone help me with a little tutorial on how to do that, please?

Mari Lwyd's Festive Rap Battle
My second entry to the Pico-8 Advent Calendar Game Jam is Mari Lwyd's Festive Rap Battle.
Mari Lwyd is a Welsh tradition that sees a group of people go around houses in the run up to Christmas, singing to be let in for food. The homeowners sing back excuses to not let in Mari Lwyd until you run out of excuses and let Mari Lwyd in. It's used to collect food for the food bank.
This is a simple rhythm game where you need to match what Mari Lwyd sings to you.
How To Play
⬅️⬆️⬇️➡️❎🅾️: Press the buttons in the sequence Mari Lwyd sings to you. One mistake and Mari Lwyd will steal something from your fridge!

Hello everyone! ☀️
Sharing my first project for PICO-8 platform. This game is inspired by a classic 90s fighting game franchise. I aimed to port as many original elements from the source game as possible within the limitations imposed by PICO-8. Some elements were left out as I reached the maximum token limit, however, I am very satisfied with the results achieved.
I hope you enjoy the result and find at least a few moments of fun and nostalgia. I look forward to your comments!
