Hi @zep, I still feel like a noob at Japanese so maybe I'm missing something but shouldn't
"lya", "lyu", "lyo" produce ャ,ュ,ョ in the Katakana mode?
In hiragana and Katakana input modes they both make ゃ,ゅ,ょ.
Thanks in advance.

I forgot to do something, when the blob says 10 knocks to enter just press X. I forgot to add the prompt my bad :(
HIhi, my teacher made me do another project soo, here I am. Prohibition. I had 2 days to finish this since my partner finished the textures a day later. I am happy to finish even if all our ideas where not able to be applied. Teacher if you are looking at this please give me a 100 please please please.

Update 19/04/2025 - new name, refined mechanics and close to an endpoint in development - this is Absorblaster v0.95.
Take a look at the updated instructions, and be aware that your old highscore will likely be lost once you try the new version out.

Labelling this as wip as I'm right at the token limit and might never make it the game I wanted it to be, but I recognise it's due to overextending and following a lot of my own wants and ideas while basing my work on the Lazy Devs phenomenal PICO-8 shmup tutorial (yes, this is another one of these, though I'd argue a little more involved).
There is technically no end to this game - it's a never ending procedurally generated gauntlet of enemies. I may or may not revisit it in the future to make playing for longer periods more compelling, or at least polish up some sprites to be more in keeping with the theme, the pickups specifically, but honestly I'm happy to release it in this state to acknowledge the work I've done (and in hopes that I can free myself from hyperfixation)


Picocraft - demake of Warcraft III
I'm happy to release Picocraft, after 3 years of uneven development ! (okay, not a full time 3 years)
Picocraft is a pico-demake of Warcraft III Reign of Chaos.
The idea comes from a cool pixel art animated mockup by Brullov_art. I knew from start that it would be a long trip, but I didn't imagine sooo long !
The demake is made of 3 cartridge (96Ko) and contains :
- 4 maps
- 32x32 to 64x64 grid maps
- Human race
- 4 units - peasant, footman, rifleman and priest with each
- 6 buildings - farm, town hall, forge, barracks, arcan sanctum, scoot towers

About

Idle Dungeon is an idle clicker/auto battler where you are a new dungeon keeper slowly amassing an army to destroy the four regions of humans. The heroes of the realm will not allow you to go unchallenged and will regularly raid your dungeon in progressively tougher waves. Losing two hero raids will cause a gameover.

In the game you will construct resource buildings to boost your economy and minion buildings to house a unit for combat. A tunnel is required before you can start attacking hero regions. As always, let me know if you find any bugs :).







Implementation and demo of the Smoothstep and Smootherstep easing functions.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothstep for more info.
Feel free to copy the functions into your own carts and tweak them as you need.

Scrub is an animation data editor which allows you to make and preview .anm
files.
load #scrub
File format
The .anm
file format consists of a table with string keys and values containing animations. Each animation contains string keys with arrays of data, each the same length. The only required key in an animation is duration
, which is a series of numbers indicating the amount of time it takes for each frame to elapse. There is an optional events
key, where the values are a dictionary of strings keys and arbitrary values, representing each event that occurs at the start of its respective frame.
Within the Scrub cart, the script src/animation.lua contains everything you need to play the animations in the .anm
files in your own projects.


I have been working on this game for a loong time, my first game. started with a tutorial from Spacecat, then i learned lots from the Nerdy teachers! and received his help and from Achiegame dev,over at nerdy teachers discord server, i also learnt from lots of tutorials from different persons(for example doc_robs for the parallax and the collisions) wich i could not still make them work at all cases TT__TT . its my very frist time programming in Lua (and i have forgotten all i learnt of c# for unity in the past,im just a 2d artist/animato/graphicDesigner that aches to make cute little games) i also struggled lots to make the music(LOTS XD i have no idea of music theory,hope to learn).
i will release this as is but im annoyed for the collisions and the way the gap between sunflowers changes abruptly.i attempted a timer so it occurs off screen but alas ,does not work. maybe someday i could review and correct the issues.

I'm working on a script to turn any image into Picotron wallpaper. It sorta kinda works.

Its kinda cool ig.
from PIL import Image img = Image.open("img.png").convert("RGB") img = img.resize((480, 270), resample=Image.LANCZOS) palette = [ (0x00, 0x00, 0x00), (0x1d, 0x2b, 0x53), (0x7e, 0x25, 0x53), (0x00, 0x87, 0x51), (0xab, 0x52, 0x36), (0x5f, 0x57, 0x4f), (0xc2, 0xc3, 0xc7), (0xff, 0xf1, 0xe8), (0xff, 0x00, 0x4d), (0xff, 0xa3, 0x00), (0xff, 0xec, 0x27), (0x00, 0xe4, 0x36), (0x29, 0xad, 0xff), (0x83, 0x76, 0x9c), (0xff, 0x77, 0xa8), (0xff, 0xcc, 0xaa), (0x24, 0x63, 0xb0), (0x00, 0xa5, 0xa1), (0x65, 0x46, 0x88), (0x12, 0x53, 0x59), (0x74, 0x2f, 0x29), (0x45, 0x2d, 0x32), (0xa2, 0x88, 0x79), (0xff, 0xac, 0xc5), (0xb9, 0x00, 0x3e), (0xe2, 0x6b, 0x02), (0x95, 0xf0, 0x24), (0x00, 0xb2, 0x51), (0x64, 0xdf, 0xf6), (0xbd, 0x9a, 0xdf), (0xe4, 0x0d, 0xab), (0xff, 0x85, 0x57) ] flat_palette = [value for color in palette for value in color] flat_palette += [0] * (768 - len(flat_palette)) palette_img = Image.new("P", (1, 1)) palette_img.putpalette(flat_palette) posterized = img.quantize(palette=palette_img, dither=Image.FLOYDSTEINBERG) indices = list(posterized.getdata()) with open("wallpaper.p64", "w") as f: f.write("""picotron cartridge // www.picotron.net version 2 :: main.lua include("wallpaper.lua") function _init() window{ wallpaper = true } end function _draw() cls(0) spr(bg, 0, 0) end :: wallpaper.lua bg = userdata("u8", 480, 270) """) for i in range(len(indices)): f.write(f"bg:set({i % 480}, {i // 480}, {indices[i]})\n") f.write(":: [eoc]\n") f.flush() |
