Hello! Publishing the cart of my little shmup which I coded with the help of this brilliant tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81WM_cjp9fo&list=PLea8cjCua_P3Sfq4XJqNVbd1vsWnh7LZd
A cartridge to display pride flags to the screen!
To go to the next flag, press the O button; to go to the previous flag, press the X button.
Currently, there's a total of 14 flags that can be displayed (with some concessions due to Pico-8's limitations):
- Modern, 6 color pride flag
- Gilbert Baker pride flag
- Leather pride flag
- Bisexual pride flag
- Pansexual pride flag
- Femboy pride flag
- Trans pride flag
- Non-Binary pride flag
- Gender-fluid pride flag
- Philadelphia pride flag
- Aromantic pride flag
- Agender pride flag
- Asexual pride flag
- 2022 polyamory pride flag
Feel free to add more flags!
This is my first proper game and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out!
It's Chess, but jazzed up a bit.
Instead of capturing pieces, you now have to attack and reduce the piece's HP to zero.
Each type of piece now also has special skills that cost SP (skill points).
The board has been expanded a bit to allow for additional shenanigans.
Each piece moves the way you would expect it to, however on each turn, there are two phases.
You can select how you use these phases (moving, attacking, using a skill, or passing your turn).
Each piece type has a different HP and SP max.
All attacks (except for one in particular) deal 1 damage.
Here is a rundown of the piece skills:
Made this simple gravity simulator. It starts with the same 3 bodies each time with arbitrary masses, positions, and velocities. Should be simple to change those in code and the format for each planet will be down below. Also if you uncomment some of the code in the populate function it will populate randomly. I might update this someday, I might not, in any case it was a fun project.
Planet format is {x, y, x velocity, y velocity, id, mass}
the id is just the position in the array.



Hi to all,
finally I decided to start coding my personal game, and as first PICO-8 project I will design a "Choplifter" style game. I am not going to make an arcade conversion but something a little bit different.
Let me introduce"Ap8kalypse"

My goal is to enjoy while learning PICO-8 by doing, and in second place I need something special to do that will keep me alive in this particular moment of my life.
Choplifter is a game by SEGA where the player has to pilot an helicopter (Bell UH-1 Huey) to rescue hostages from enemy bases.

I will post all my work in progress steps of my "AP8kalypse" game here, meanwhile this is the gameplay from the arcade:

Welcome to Peak Of Empires v1.0!
How To Play
- Mouse Or Arrow Keys to Move Pointer

Click units or buildings to view their stats and actions. Keep an eye on your resources, which are wood, food, stone, gold and housing. Make sure to build enough houses and send your workers to work! Once you've given them a task they will try to keep doing it until there is nothing in their vicinity left to interact with.

What if Vampire Survivors was a Pac-Man style arcade game?
Well, I guess this is what you'd get: A single-screen bullet heaven experience.
You start off slow, by killing a few enemies, and picking up XP and Coins.

Every time you level up you get to pick a free upgrade.

Defeat the boss at the end of all 3 stages.

Buy permanent upgrades with the coins you gathered.

And see how long you can survive, when things start getting hectic.
