I was using a 2d array with a 'cell' object for each grid and found this weird issue. For some reason i can't change a value in a particular cell on a grid without changing it for the whole grid. Hope i explained it clear enough. Here's an example:
cls() cell={1,1} arr={{cell,cell},{cell,cell}} arr[1][1][1]=2 for x=1,2 do for y=1,2 do ?arr[x][y][1],x*8,y*8,15 end end |
As you can see i'm changing only the first number in the first column and the first row to 2 but the output shows that every first number in the whole grid was changed into 2. Why does that happen??


This is my first attempt of making anything,following the tutorial of the ghost that gathers soda cans by spacecat on you tube. im sure i learnt how to add sounds from other yourtuber.
i figured out how to make the tail follow the body until i saw you could make sprites of more than one suqare buwich is in this verisonas i could not do for it to adapt to other directions(as well the sides lol) but i hate this systema i need the hitbox to be in the middle of the mouse not the middle of both stail and body.
im no programmer, so i will surely come back to this and make a proper game someday,when i have learnt more.
(also,i really wanto to make something similar to a board game known as comequeso in my country, were you gather cheeses by pushing them into your home(it involves magnets in a stick to guide the mouses from below the board)
but this will be uploaded now as a memento of the fun i had my first time using pico8!
Hope someday i get to make my own ideas but for now i will follow tutorials,learn and give them my twist(be reskin or more)

Hello everyone. It was quite a long time since my last post (over 3 years!), isn't it? Anyways, I think that I plan on getting back to PICO-8 and try to make a game. Again. I already have an idea in my mind what I will make so it would be pretty much impressive, especially after so much stuff that was discovered and added in this amazing fantasy console.
Also Picotron looks really interesting even at such early state. Though, I currently have neither money (not that I'm broke, just I barely became 18 and don't have too much time and energy even for part-time) and patience (few last years kinda damaged my mental health, I think) and time (because I have final exams to prepare for and pass, since I want to go to university) to afford it.
Also I want to change my PFP from Mortis to something else. And maybe should try to make a REAL game for Steam release.
Oh, and my English got majorly improved as well since then!
Anyways, thanks for reading.
A simple CGoL in a 32x32 grid.
Controls:
Use the mouse to select the cell
LMB - activate/deactivate cell
Z - switch between activate/deactivate mode
X - play/pause the simulation
Up/Down - increase/decrease simulation speed
If you're unfamiliar with the Game of Life, here are some cool patterns you can make in it:
The pulsar

This is called Penta-decathlon

You can even make these... spaceships? Just google it

Or you can scribble whatever you want and see what happens

hello guys! I have used Pico-8 alot but i never made an account, but now's the time! Unfortunately i cannot publish my own games until i buy Pico-8 on my laptop one day, so this post and later ones will be on my tablet!
What i do with this account:
all i do is just give a short but good review of the games that i bookmarked on my tablet! Literally that's all i do, ok?
