Suntan Wallpaper
A digital wallpaper that simulates windows leaving "suntan" marks on the desktop.
What is this?
Did you know that wallpapers in picotron can be full fledged carts? This is one such dynamic wallpaper that simulates the windows leaving marks on the desktop if they are left open for too long. See the animation below for an example:
I made this to learn more about how picotron carts can talk to the window manager, and to get a general feel of the system. It was inspired by the "birds" demo.
How do I use it?
Copy this cart into the /appdata/system/wallpapers. It then should show up as an option inside "system settings". Click on that option, and the wallpaper will start working.

Hello again!
Here, we have a very simple cart of falling snow and some simple views that change at random. Grab a fresh cup of hot chocolate and relax with this cart. Who knows, Santa might visit you!
Change the background and sky, and if you feel the falling snow is too much, turn the photosensitivity option on for a more comfortable experience— All from the pause menu! You can also reset your cartridge to get a random arrangement of sky and background, and maybe even a new song!
This is the first cart I’ve worked on in a long time, so I hope I provided a cozy atmosphere for you.
Cheers!

A piloting mishap sends Santa and all his gifts tumbling across the Brooklyn skyline. Without his sleigh, Santa must leap from rooftop to rooftop, collecting and delivering presents. If he is to deliver them all in time, he must go faster and faster. Press x or o to jump, and press x or o while in the air to throw a present down a chimney.
Special thanks to:
- @Doriencey for making the cart label.
- @Gruber for making the music.
- The advent calendar jam folks for lots of ideas and encouragement.

Help Holly Marshall find her dad and brother, who have gone missing in the Land of the Lost! Avoid dinosaurs and Sleestak while unraveling the mystery. This game was inspired by the 1974-1977 sci-fi Saturday morning series by Sid and Marty Krofft, and games like Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600.
Controls
Arrow keys to move
c/z or keypad o to use the item in your hand

My FIRST Pico-8 Video Game!
I have only made 2 games before this, both on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum line of computers and both part of my CLOUD PEOPLE world I came up with back in the 1980s on my then Atari 800 in 1980.
Fast forward to 2018 I decided to make my 1st game as I never did one back in the 1980s as Hot Girls and Fast Cars became a thing for me. haha. In 2018 I made Invasion Of The Cloud People for the Speccy 48 and then in 2021 Invasion Of The Cloud People - The Next Storm for the Speccy Next.
Now my 1st go at making a game for Pico-8.
I hope folks enjoy my little tiny game. Here is a 4 Level Demo to get the juices flowing and hope in the end I can make this a 10 level game. All about the natural elements like Tornados and Lightning, the Cloud People are ruthless and sending all sorts of havoc on us.
Peeko-8, our trusty pilot, is sent on an adventure to collect some good raindrops as those darn Cloud People are turning most rain into Acid Rain! On his journey Peeko-8 also has an infatuation with POKEY-HOLES! Yeh you read that right, innuendo and all, but he must appease his appetite for juicy Pokey-Holes along the way.
Come Bob & Weave the Nasties and collect good Raindrops along the way so portals between Cloud Layers come up on each level. But don't be late for those portals as they will leave without you and the Party Is Over if they do!
Battle the Boss Cloud Person on Level 4 and blast him with your lasers! (Lasers only work against Boss Nasties)
Just 4 hair raising levels with Easy & Hard Modes. See how well or poorly you do.
Let me know what ya think and if ya like it, I should eventually add more levelsn to this hopefully addictive video game.
The intro screen has all the info so read it all and then give it a go.
Thanks for playing!
TJ
** For those following along, I made a video explaining myself (haha) and what why and when I started making this game and play it as well in this video showing you how I defeat the Cloud People... Or I mean Peeko-8 Does!

Is it a bad thing to build a game out of an interesting menu screen?
I was struck with inspiration to make this... but not really sure where to go from there.

Winter is here, which means that the christmas markets are popping up everywhere. Time to get to work! You are famous for your mixology of hot drinks. This fame has allowed you to make enough profit to make donations to programs for your community.
What is your job?
Can you sell enough perfectly mixed hot drinks on the Christmas market to provide money for the people and cats in need?
Controls
Arrows - Move
X - Interact
O - View Drink Menu / Toss a full drink

This is a simple fork of Pico Factory that lets you pause time.
Of course, items will not be produced or sold while time is paused.
Controls
You can pause / unpause time in two ways:
- press ❎ on player 2 controller (Q or A on the keyboard);
- select
toggle pausein the menu.
The latter is your only option if you are playing on mobile or handheld.
Disclaimer
This fork writes pause edition on the top of the board.
This will be visible in any screenshots (even while the graph is being displayed), so it will be clear that the score was not obtained on the original cart.

Decided to dip my toes into the world of picotron. I'm still pretty much lost, but I made a small thing:
What is this?
This is a programmatic wallpaper. You may have noticed that picotron's wallpapers can be full carts, which are executed in the wallpaper window. Inspired by the "birds" program, I tried to make a wallpaper that interacted with the windows.
Whenever you open a window, a "shadow" is made under that window. The longer the shadow lives, the "darker" it gets. When you move or resize a window, the shadow will quickly die, becoming lighter in the process.
The idea is to kinda simulate the windows leaving marks on the background. The marks respect the theme's colors.
