Super Ninja Ball Pocket
My First Pico 8 Game!
Originally the University of Cumbria GameJam Winning game, Super Ninja Ball is a Peggle-Like Arcade Shooter designed to be repayable, addictive, and competitive among peers! this pico 8 version is an all round improvement on the original version.
CONTROLS
Left and Right arrow Keys or controller presses aims the line at the bottom of the screen, and pressing Z will trigger the Power meter, pressing Z again will fire the ball!
Pre Game Minigame
Before shooting the pegs, you will be greeted with a minigame, the objective is to fill the bars, in order to win balls to fire at the pegs! good luck!

In a digital, neon-lit world, a lone Chromatic Serpent is born without color or energy. Its only purpose is to survive and grow by consuming magical, pulsating fruits.
Each fruit imbues the serpent with its own essence, lending its color and power to the creature's ever-growing body. Guide the serpent on its quest for energy, but be careful—the greatest threat in this world is often the serpent's own, unpredictable tail.
How long can you survive?

What is this?
This is a simple Same Game clone written for Pico-8. It is basic, but functional. There are 3 board setups to choose from:
- Pocket: 11x12 with 5 colours, just like Bubble Breaker
- Big Easy: 15x14 with 4 colours. Big scores.
- Six Colours: 15x14 with 6 colours. Much harder.
Controls
- ⬅️➡️⬆️️⬇️: move the cursur around the board
- ❎: mark, or clear
- 🅾️: Undo last clear
Gameplay example
Move the cursor around, mark some adjacent balls and clear them. Repeat until no more moves are possible, or until the board is cleared. Compete for the best score!

Just a small demo of Material UI for PICO-8. The interesting thing is that the code was entirely written by GPT-5 + Claude 4.1 Opus, with me just providing them with the input about the bugs/things to change.
Obviously, those LLMs cannot create efficient PICO-8 code - there's already 6.5k tokens even though this is such a simple demo. But it's interesting how far they got since 2022. And, of course, they still cannot create nice-looking graphics or music/sfx for PICO-8, at least not directly. They might make something, but it won't look/sound good.
Even after repeated rounds of fixing bugs with the LLMs, there are some bugs left. But it's still a nice little demo in my opinion :)

A block-pushing, heart-mending, saw-wielding puzzle game. My first PICO-8 cart. I had an absolute blast working on this.

This is my first attempt at writing something for the Pico-8. I used to enjoy playing a game called Bubble Breaker on Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 many years ago. It became an obsession and my wife and I would compete for the best score.
The idea of a Same Game has been around since the 1980's. This Pico-8 version uses simple ball sprites. In theory it can have a board size of 16x15 with up to 8 colours, but I have chosen the following setups:
- Pocket: 11x12 with 5 colours, just like Bubble Breaker
- Big Easy: 15x14 with 4 colours. Big scores.
- Six Colours: 15x14 with 6 colours. Much harder.
Mark a block using X. Clear by pressing X on the block again. Use O to undo. You can only undo the last clear and no more. There is a bonus for clearing the board.

As the title says, I'd like to know what are the consequences of setting carts as forks.
Here's an example... I submitted STAR SPLORE last month. This week, I got a reply asking for some changes. I wanted to accommodate the request without changing the main cart, so I submitted an alternative version of the cart.
I didn't want to start a new thread for this alternative cart, though. So I just embedded it in a reply on the original thread. I guess that's why the cart doesn't show up in "New Carts", nor does it appear in my profile under "Cartridges".
And that's fine! It's an alternativo cart, I don't want anyone to find it before the main one...
But I noticed that, when I click "Edit" on a cart, there is a "Forks" section. I know what a fork is in GitHub, but what does it mean here?
Should I set this alternative cart as a fork of the original STAR SPLORE? What are the consequences of doing that in the BBS?
