Hi all:)
I've recently started developing a shooter in pico8 and i'm loving it:)
This is my first post form my new setup. Hopefully i manage to be consistent at this and i'll look back at this in this 5 years and be happy about the games and friends i made along the line:)

Hello Pico-8 players! Today I’ll be releasing Bubble Madness 0.2 sooner than I expected. It turns out it wasn’t that difficult to include the two new stages and the new game mode I wanted, so here is version 0.2 with the following changes:
2 new stages:
- Cosmic Calamity: A space-themed map where you must dodge meteors and space junk that is attracted by a planet.
- Between Trams: A map set between two mountains, with rail tracks where trams pass at different speeds. The goal is to dodge the trams to win.
In addition to that, I added a new game mode that features random stages each round. The player can choose which stages will be included. (To switch between choosing the mode or choosing the map/number of rounds, you must press the X button.)

Hi everyone.
I've searched the BBS and the documentation, but I can't find a way to tell which key was pressed in Picotron, something similar to pico8's stat(31) that returns the last character read from the keyboard. I know you can query each key with key() and keyp(), but I wanted to know if there's a method that directly returns the character or key that was read.
Thank you!
Best regards,

hey @zep! bug report:
0x5f54 (spritesheet remapping) is not resetting properly when I press ctrl-R in a running cart.
(The value at 0x5f54 is correct after resetting, but the data in the spritesheet is wrong)
I didn't test 0x5f55 or 0x5f56
minimal example
function _init() --move first row of sprites to bank 0x80 memcpy(0x8000, 0x0000, 64*8) --clear spritesheet to blue stripes memset(0x0000, 0xcd, 0x2000) end function _draw() cls() --draw sprite 0 from bank 0x80 poke(0x5f54,0x80) spr(0,0,0) --reset sprite banks -- poke(0x5f54,0x00) --uncomment this to work around the bug end |
Run this cart and mash ctrl-R: sprite 0 will only be drawn on the very first run. On all other runs it will be blue/lavender stripes
slightly larger example
Still pretty small, but it has a bit of extra code to narrow down why the behavior isn't working right

I made this in about 2 hours using my knowlege of python and watching a few videos on the syntax. Please share your comments and recommendations on how I can improve this game.

I was trying to change my wallpaper but I keep getting the message "can not set wallpaper from sandboxed process."
What I did was click the Picotron menu at the top left > System Settings > and then the wallpaper section under the desktop tab. This is without any custom wallpapers, trying to switch between the default ones.
Whenever I click a wallpaper it shows the error message. It only gets applied after a reboot.
Adding:
It happens on both my Windows 10 Desktop and Windows 11 Laptop.

Speed tech is not required in most of this mod. You'll know when you need it!

If flashing visuals can hurt you, please disable the effect in the pause screen after starting.
Huge thanks to these really cool people:

NoonShade | Multiplayer Duelling Game
NoonShade is a multiplayer game where two players try to out-duel each other in a best of 7 format. Both players can jump and shoot once per turn. The key is to fire your weapon exactly at noon. If you shoot before noon, you automatically lose that turn. The game mixes strategy and guessing with quick reflexes.
It’s a small game, but fun to play with a friend. I hope you enjoy it!
Feedback is always appreciated.
How to Play
Wait for the perfect moment! Shoot before noon and you’ll lose the turn.
Best of 7 format, first to 4 wins.
Player 1 Controls (Left Side)
Jump: (O) - Z on Keyboard
Shoot: (X) - X on Keyboard
