This 3D effect is achieved using this projection equation.
Where X and Y points are calculated and drawn on the screen based on similar triangles
relating their coordinates from a 3D space.
Then you can use these equations to rotate the points:
dx=xcos(angle)-ysin(angle), dy=xsin(angle)+ycos(angle)
I'm still learning to code, so this was a fun project to mess around with!

Created for CorgiJam! Finally, a sequel to the original Space Corgi. There are 30 puzzles to solve using the unique powers of my real actual dogs. Based on real life events.
UPDATE: Slightly changed Level 16 to fix a Corgi position lock issue. I believe all levels are undo/restart-safe now!
UPDATE: 2 player mode ??
UPDATE: Slightly changed levels 24, 28 and 29 to fix 3 additional locks (UPDATE UPDATE - and 26 lol)

Fight Madeline in a PicoBall duel, first to 15 wins!
This is a mod of the game cart for Pico-Ball, a 2d tennis-volleyball mashup starring Jelpi where you make the ball bounce on your opponents end twice to earn a point.
In case you haven't played Picoball, I highly reccomend to play the original game found here

A minimal demo showing how I set up the mode 7 effect for Sally's Star Racers ( https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=181063#p ). This is a cleaner starting point if you want to make your own mode7 game. 1355 tokens, and it includes a lot of boilerplate for crawling map data and instantiating actors in the world.
I am using ToyBoxJam assets for this demo, so thanks to @thattomhall and the contributors to this asset pack!


About the game:
Hormogrid™ is a tiny fast-paced puzzle game played on a 4×4 grid of cells called hormones.
Each cell can be red or dark:
– Red cells represents Dopamine (“Do”), the happiness hormone
– Dark cells represents Cortisol (“Co”), the stress hormone
Your goal is to turn every cell red (Dopamine) before time runs out.
Pressing (X) on a cell flips it, but it also flips all its adjacent cells (up, down, left, and right)
Known issues:
The game difficulty may be a bit inconsistent due to the procedural generation. You may occasionally encounter grid layouts that can be solved in less than 3 moves on the highest difficulty, or vice versa.

UPDATE: New TOSSED Mode for chasing high scores, new visuals, and a menu
bug: sometimes words do not appear in word list
scored wild tiles have unintended behaviour
HOW TO PLAY CLASSIC MODE:
In CLASSIC MODE, you can place a maximum of 25 tiles, in order to score as many points as possible.
You can make between 3 and 5 letter words, but your points receive a bonus; the longer the word the better!
Letters have different scores, depending on how frequently they are used.
HOW TO PLAY TOSSED MODE:
In TOSSED MODE, playing 5 letter words will clear the letters, making more space to
score more points! However, there are some brand new tile types as well:
STONES
Stones are pesky, and get in the way of your words. To remove them, you'll need bombs
BOMBS
There are 4 types of bombs: Radish, Cucumber, Tomato and Lettuce. When placed,

Acording to the manual:
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html
The escape sequence '\z' skips the following span of white-space characters, including line breaks; it is particularly useful to break and indent a long literal string into multiple lines without adding the newlines and spaces into the string contents. A short literal string cannot contain unescaped line breaks nor escapes not forming a valid escape sequence.
so a
?"hallo\z 2ndline" |
should count as 2 tokens.
The code itself works, but it is misscolored in the editor and the tokencount is with 5 too high.

Welcome to HUMAN PARTY!
The animals have a zoo with one of the last humans on the planet. Time to take care of him. And when he's doing well, it's time to party!
HOW TO PLAY
This is a combination of an Idle Game and a Tamagotchi. You let the game run in the background and return every now and then to improve the quality of the food, for example. Over time, the human feels better and better, which increases the zoo's income and allows you to buy further improvements.
WHY AND HOW IT WAS MADE
HUMAN PARTY is my fourth PICO-8 game. As always, I thought about the mechanics I wanted to implement in order to learn more about the engine. This time, I wanted to create a small shop system and also practice working with lots of variables that perform all kinds of calculations in the background. I also learned how to make creatures follow a specific path.
