Just a little something I made for fun :)
There is no interactivity, just an hourglass that lasts for about 16 seconds, so that I could make a gif out of it.

Hi, it looks like keyconfig is not saved. I keep changing player 2 ⭕ and ❌ buttons to G and H keys but no matter what at each reboot (Win 11) they're back to TAB & Q keys. In fact no matter which keys I used the button_keys part in config.txt is always filled with 0's. Yet Pico-8 (0.2.6b) says "saved config.". On the other hand if I set show_fps to 1 I do get fps shown so this is the intended config.txt I guess.

"Drone Surveyor: Cartografía Salvaje" is a simulation RPG about drone-based topographic surveying, presented as a cozy pixel art game with a top-down view. You play as a solitary surveyor equipped with realistic measurement technology, venturing into unknown terrains and overcoming environmental challenges and local situations. Through interactions with wildlife and local inhabitants, the game unfolds a touching and surprising story—where each survey becomes an excuse to explore, connect, and discover something beyond just geographic data.
Of course, none of this is really finished yet.

RPSF BATTLE v0.91b
A turn-based card game where players take turns selecting one of four cards—Rock, Paper, Scissors, or Foam—and choose an action: attack, sacrifice, or rest. The goal is to eliminate all opponent cards through strategy, upgrades, and timing.
Rock beats Scissors? Scissors beat Paper? Paper beats Rock?
Actually... Rock deals 2 damage to Scissors, and Scissors has 2 health by default—so yes, Rock usually kills it. But outcomes depend on stats, which can evolve during the match.
Each card has three stats: ♥ (health), ★ (bonus attack power), and ✽ (cut damage dealt to attackers).
Attacks end turns. Sacrifices don’t. Rest ends turn and only heals (+♥) if the card has exactly 1 HP.

Take Control Time Tracker
What's this
A timer tool for visually tracking where your time goes during a set focus session. Track when you are actually focusing on the thing you want to work on, or are spending more time doing other things despite what you intended. Watch your progress as the time goes up and blocks grow as they reach their target value e.g. 1m, 5m, 10m, etc., and as you get more blocks with your chunks of time. If you cancel a block timer while it is growing, you lose that block.
Try your best to take control! Aim for a work percentage of at least 80%!
Toggle Auto On so that the blocks can grow continuously without you needing to start them again, best for short times e.g. 1m or 5m, or when you're really focused.

Hello,
I would like to ask for help on how to release a cart properly.
I've made three.
- The first: Included in a post, became a Cartridge in about an hour, I deleted it, and reuploaded as a WIP (checks out)
- The second: I included it in a new post as a Cartridge, but it's not shown anywhere.
- A Third: Uploaded via the Submit button, not shown as well.
I've followed the How to upload Pico-8 games tutorial on the resources page. Yet my own releases page remains empty.
I have three questions:
- How do I release a WIP as a finished Cartridge?
- How do I release a new Cartridge, such that it finds its way into the Carts section?
- Can users get listed for making their first game too gorpy?
I would love to know more!
Regards,
skipperd

Hi all,
The other day I saw Engine Sound Test by @The_Gamer_1475 and I wanted to rev it with [x].
So I made a gizmo to rev four changeable chords and learn about generating sound in Pico-8.
print("\a") Is a magnificent feature!
You can use [z] and [x] to change a value selected with [arrows].
The values in white are notes.
0 --> silent
1 - 72 --> c0 - b5.
I've tried to generate a revvable engine sound and the base four four tone chords for the four cylinders are vertically stacked and editable with [z] and [x].
Give her a spin with the red button.

I have looked around but been unable to find anything that clearly describes how best to utilise the colour table features of Picotron. I may just have missed it so if you know of a good resource please feel free to redirect me!
So I was looking into the colour tables and from what I know so far, its a lookup table that describes which colour to use when colouring a pixel. By default I know that drawing over a colour with another (drawing red over blue for example) will just result in the new colour being placed, replacing the previous colour (so the pixel is now red in my example).
I know that other colour blending techniques could take advantage of this, however I cant seem to figure out how to modify the values in the table. In a game I'm working on for example I would like to be able to draw a 'shadow' that is essentially just an oval using a predefined 'shadow colour', and it would darken each pixel it draws over by 1 'unit'.
I suspect I would need to alter the values for the shadow colours 'row ' or 'column' in the colour table so it returns a different value but figuring out how is a mystery!
