I'm giving a try to the Genuary 2026 challenge. For each day in 2026, a prompt is given for art using procedural generation. I'm putting all prompts on the cartridge above. You can switch among them using the left and right buttons!
Day 1: One Color, One Shape
A quick one - shapes floating from the left, anti-shapes floating from the right. Up to 120 shapes cross the screen at any one time.
Day 2: The Twelve Principles of Animation

New AI!
Bridge of Knights is a simple, turn-based strategy game based on the fictional board game Knights Bridge.
The objective of the game is to push the treasure chest in the center of the board back to the players own territory in their back row, or by pushing their opponents pieces off the edge of the board.
- Each player takes their turn moving one of 3 pieces on the 7x7 game board.
- Players may push other pieces or the treasure.
- Only one piece may be pushed at a time.
- A piece cannot be pushed back into the space it came from in the previous turn.
A note:
This game was hypothesized in in-game lore, and never developed or tested. It is an awkward, unbalanced game, but there is a tic-tac-toe simplicity about it that may inspire something in the future.
Despite its flaws, Ultima 7 fans can finally say the game exists and is playable! Suggestions and feedback welcome. The AI will continue to get small updates but the game, like chess, is best played against a human opponent.
Changelist -
v1.09 - Implemented reset/exit menu
v1.08 - AI win condition bugfix
v1.07 - 2p controller fix
v1.06 - Major AI update 2 - Challenging but winnable
v1.05 - Major AI update!
v1.04 - stalemate bugfixes
v1.03 - Removed diagonal movement bug, improved AI
v1.02 - Menu cleanup, AI moves treasure correctly, menu and board vfx, art polish
v1.01 - QOL and UI fixes

Happy New Year! 🎉
I wanted to share a few quick insights about a little project some friends and I have been working on.
We’re building a portable console / mini computer designed to make it easier to teach computers, operating systems, and game development with PICO-8, using affordable custom hardware. We’re still in the early prototyping stage, but the core idea is:
-
Thumb keyboard (PocketCHIP / BlackBerry-style)
-
Digital mouse / pointer
-
Full-size SD card slot for a “cartridge-like” experience
-
Small speaker
- Special keys + a layer system to switch between gamepad mode and keyboard mode
The goal is a portable, accessible device that can work as a “take-home computer lab” for middle and high school students (and potentially beyond).
This is our first PCB attempt:
Right now the display, keyboard, sound, and mouse are working, but we still have plenty to polish on both the hardware and software sides.

I hopped from using Bazzite to Fedora Linux, but I began to notice something weird when installing Pico8 excutables from itch.io onto my new OS, and that when I double click on them, nothing will happen for a solid minute and then boom, there's the Pico8 boot up in full screen and the game. I have no idea why Fedora has issues running Pico8 games from excutables, seeing as they worked perfectly ans snappy on Bazzite.
Has anyone else seen this before?

@zep, I was using import file.png -l and export file.png -l,
When exporting a label it seems the resulting image makes color black transparent?
I'm on mac 0.2.7. Very minor but seems a bit annoying.
I also tested that maybe it was the first color found in the image? but it seems to just effect black only.
Here's juicio's label for reference:
Thanks in advance 'ろ'

My first cartridge made public. I will probably add apples or something for the guy to collect once I figure out collision detection.
Changelog:
V1.1 - Fixed the animations so the dude begins moving his legs immediately after starting to move.
V1.2 - Fixed 1.1 not working due to a syntax error.
V1.3 - Fixed 1.1's changes not being implemented for some reason. (can you tell this is my first time?)
