THIS VERSION HAS THE HALLWAY SCENE REMOVED SO THAT I DON'T NEED TO USE SHRINKO8
A simple roguelike game.
I'm still working on some things but the game is playable! The original game was created by Zach Gage and Kurt Bieg.
HOW TO PLAY
LEFT & RIGHT KEYS (Select your card)
X KEY (Attack with Fist | Use Potion | Pick up weapon)
Z KEY (Attack with Weapon)
RULES
- There are only 44 cards to the deck. (The RED face cards have been removed)
- DMD (Diamonds) - Are weapons you can pick up. If you have a weapon attached it will automatically gain a attack limit (BLACK card behind it). You can only attack monsters of the SAME or LOWER limit attached to the weapon. If you don't have a weapon or your weapon limit is too low, you can attack with your FIST.
- HRT (Hearts) - Health Potions. YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE POTION PER ROOM!
- SPD | CLB (Spades and Clubs) - Monster cards which rank from 2-14 (J(11),Q(12),K(13),A(14))
- Each new dungeon room has four cards to get past. Once you have 1 card left in your hand you move on to the next room.
- You have the option to FLEE a room if you choose. Those cards will be shuffled back into the BOTTOM of your deck. You cannot FLEE two rooms consecutively.
SCORING
- Getting out of the dungeon means playing through the entire deck. Once you have played all the cards and none remain, your score will be your current HP points.
- If you have ZERO HP points, the game ends. All monsters left in the dungeon are subtracted from your ZERO HP.

My first game!
This is my very first pico 8 game, i love how pico 8 looks and feels already!
I hope to be able to make more carts for the pico 8!
Revision 1
Added Help, fixed menu and bankrupt screen using X instead of O
Revision 2
Fixed bug where half of the Help button appeared on the bankrupt screen
sidenote: renamed the buttons in the help menu in revision 4 so
i have decided to update it and its not here lel

Found two bugs that I should report here:
Bug 1
This code doesn't compile - looks like lua's const feature breaks picotron's shorthands (are shorthands still using a preprocessor in picotron?)
local test <const> = 1
a = {3}
a[1] += 4 |
(same happens with close instead of const)
Bug 2
This code takes takes a ton of real time to execute.
This only happens due to the "<<32" and doesn't reproduce on the latest lua 5.4
t={}; for i=0,0x10000 do t[i<<32] = i end |
I was curious so I checked what was happening and it looks like the older lua version picotron is using is computing hash for integers based on the low bits, meaning large powers of two get really bad hashing. Some later lua version (still in the 5.4 line) fixed this to use modulo with a non-power-of-2 instead

I have been having a blast working with Pico-8 as a new game dev. There is definitely a learning curve coming from the likes of Godot and Unity for a bit before this, but I really enjoy getting to make everything from the ground up. It feels like your own thing, the, "I made this!" feeling is amazing and frequent. Thank you Lexaloffle.
Been coding for a while now on side projects here and there, mostly in Python, C# and JS, but for the longest time I wanted to make a game. I have felt it in my blood since I was a boy. I loved video games, how great would it be to get to make my own!
I am not sure, and I hope I am not alone here, but I feel a BIG barrier to entry when it comes to making video games is art. For me, art was a capacity for possibility that my mind could never wrap my head around. I mean with a thousand or more color options, who wouldn't have choice anxiety?? This is where I think Pico-8 shines the brightest and where it has roped me in:
THERE ARE ONLY 16 COLORS and EACH TILE ONLY HAS 64 PIXELS!!
