A simple system for animating through sprites for things like walk cycles.
- start or stop
- loop or play once
- return to a rest sprite if stopped (standing still instead of mid stride)
- table w/ sprite sequence can define flip x/y to reuse spite
- large sprites supported (w/h)
- adjustable speed
check code tab 1 for importable code and tab 2 for example use.
Setup
Using a range of continuous frames
Simple example
guy = aspr:new({start=1,frames=6,spd=0.2,restfr=7})
- start : the sprite number of the first animation frame
- frames : number of frames in the loop (if not using a frame table place them in sequence on the sheet)

Hi, everyone!
This is my very first PICO-8 game: a simple, classic-style shooting game inspired by the arcade shooters of the 1980s.
Goal:
Reach the legendary 10,000,000-point score cap—a tribute to the classic arcade era when hitting the max score was every player’s dream! (Remember those days? XEVIOUS took me 6 hours!)
Controls:
- Z: Shot
- X: Switch shot type (2 forward shots / 1 shot each to front and rear)
Features:
- Simple, nostalgic gameplay reminiscent of the 80s arcade shooters.
- Score system that lets you reach 10 million in minutes (if you master combos, à la DoDonPachi), not hours!
- Combo multiplier system for fast high scores.

Hi!
I'm excited to share my very first video game, "Keep The Mood On".
The goal is to complete as many consecutive flights as possible (with increasing difficulty) while keeping at least one passenger happy on board.
Each flight is made up of three mini-games, representing the different phases of a commercial flight.
The music is a slight adaptation of "Bad Speech" by Snabisch.
Feel free to share your feedback!

Hi,
This is my first post, and excited to share my WIP case simulator. Still new to PICO-8, so looking for any feedback and ideas of features to add. I still have a bit of work to rebalance the item pricing and rarity.
thanks!

Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't been posting for awhile. I've been working on Pico-P8int! This is a maze/puzzle game where you slide across a board trying to paint all the white tiles. (Good luck trying to beat it, some of the levels are veeeerrry tricky!)
Rules of play
You must use the arrow keys to paint (or cover) all of the white tiles on the board, in the least amount of moves you can. Also you can unlock new skins (or characters) as you progress through the levels!

I hope you enjoy playing Pico-P8int! Feedback is much appreciated!

My First Game
Thanks for taking a look at my game!
Use Z to start the game and reset each round. Use X to shoot. Try and shoot the outlaw as soon as he reaches for his gun. Reset to play again and again to see how good of a K/D ratio you can get!

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.
