It's just an Build A Jetpack texture pack with simplified textures that remember to consoles like an gameboy color. (¿Or it's just an Build A Jetpack but bad? I don't know really.) ¡Well, Enjoy!

A Fight! With snowballs! Don't forget to grab all the cool stuff the other kids drop!
Growing up in rural Canada, winter always meant huge, endless piles of snow everywhere. And as kids, huge piles of snow meant chaos. Snowball Fight! is an endless, high score chasing, winter arena "shooter." Bury the other kids with snowballs or dig ledges out from underneath them and nab dropped presents for bonus points. Clear each screen to move to the next one.
This game was made as part of the 2024 PICO-8 Advent Calendar.
Thanks to everyone who play-tested early versions of the game. And special thanks especially to:

I started this game following a tutorial for pico-8 that was in the Magpi magazine 6 years ago. My daughter then aged 3 helped me to design the space ship. I figured I should finish this and inspire her as she has recently taken an interest in gaming. The nemesis in the game is a monster from my good friend Jon Hillman's book "The Vile Realm".
It's a classic side scrolling space shooter. The game features a ship with rechargable shields, energy bombs, timed missiles, and lasers. The player has to stop the big bad "Xotolo" from reaching Earth during the final wave of the game cycle. I hope you have fun, I plan to use what I have learned and push pico-8 to its limits!

Hey all...hooked myself up with Picotron to play with over the holidays. I'm planning on porting over some of my PICO8 games as a way to learn.
One thing I don't think I'm quite understanding is the RAM code vs the cart code.
I have a cart saved with simple printing of "Hello world" in it as MYDEMO.p64 and when I double-click it, it runs fine. Yay.
I open the cart contents and open the 'main.lua' to edit in source mode. I change the text to "Hello dog" and then do CTRL+R to reload the cart and there's no change...still shows Hello World. But if I do 'load mydemo' from the terminal and then run, it shows the change. Make another change, reload, no change...gotta do 'load' again. Tedious.
I guess I'm just used to PICO8's reload-to-see-changes instantly...but it seems that's not the case with Picotron?
Does opening cart code not make it the 'active' code that will run instantly when changes are made? Seems like a lot of extra steps just to see quick changes I make in a cart.

A little snowglobe application. Shake the window to make the snow fall. More shaking causes more snow to fall! (If you don't want to shake the window, you can also use the scroll wheel.)
Uses the same shaking detection as in #8ball. I drew the scene Pixelorama, and imported it using #importpng.

The manual states that if you don't want to print a newline, you can include a \0 at the end of the string. However, if you do this, the cursor x position gets reset to 0 and the next thing printed will overlap:
For comparison PICO-8 keeps the x-position allowing you to print without overlap:

PATCH 2 NOTES
--small performance boosts
--added pseudo voxels for map, up to 4 cubes high
Silly little raycast engine, ill probably make a game with this at some point but for now here ya'll go. Feel free to use this for whatever just credit me :)
--IMPORTANT
there is no actual game, for realsies, I just made the murder mystery as clickbait because I'm greedy, there will be a game one day but as of current its just a simple game engine.

My first cart! I saw another matrix screensaver here somewhere, decided I needed to one-up it a bit. :D
Features a customized palette, renders most of the font characters for that more 'code' look and not just alpha characters, and multiple streams per screen column. It is thoroughly commented, but nothing really complex going on here.
I'm having so much fun with Picotron! I had followed pico-8 community for years but the resolution was a little too low for my liking. With Picotron I feel right at home, its the same resolution and number of colors I've used for my JS13K engine coincidentally. Looking forward to porting a few of my projects and many new ones.
Cheers!
Ryan
Update: columns don't die for another 12 columns off bottom of screen, first version had streams dying at max y.

First time coming to Picotron, a PacMan twist with circus style, use arrows left and right to move, the rest, see attrack for more. Enjoy!
Revision 2 update: Pacman can now loop thru screen, 20 pills and 4 power pills per stage. Hilined pills's border to see them better.

So, I've been wanting to code a pico-8 game and I know the limits of the 8192 tokens, 64 sounds, blah blah blah, I just need to know some actual coding. For example, how would I make a kill trigger for spikes, or a windscreen for collecting something?
