Demake of a game created by yiotro.
The original game has sadly shut down its servers. I miss it so much I had to make it in Pico-8.
Play against AI or with a friend! (Or just watch the AI play against itself!)
Try to knock all your opponent's balls off the table before they do!
Select your ball with L/R and X
Set your shot angle with L/R (up/down for fine aim)
Hold down X and use up/down to set your power
Once you've perfected your shot, release X to let your ball fly!
This demake is not totally polished; the AI is a bit drunk and the collisions can be janky at times. It doesn't do the original game justice by any means but it was a great learning experience for me to make!

A fairly common word game where you need to work out what number corresponds to which letter. It can be played in an easy mode where you are given a couple of the letters beforehand, or a hard mode with no clues (challenging but rewarding).
Controls
Start screen
Use left/right arrow to select difficulty.
In game
Arrow keys to move around.
Press 🅾️ to select current letter and press 🅾️ again to place.
You can pick up a letter already placed on the grid with 🅾️ and move it or use ❎ to return it to the pile .
Press ❎ to drop the selected letter and pick another (also a quick way to jump to the letters).

Description:
A high-stakes cosmic hunting game where speed is your weapon and your weakness. In the cold void of space, they are faster than you. To catch them, you must push your engine to the limit. But beware: your boost is your only shield, and your greed for high scores will leave your tank empty when you need to survive.
Experience the roar of the horizontal engine shake and the satisfying "BASHUN" sound as you pulverize those who dare to cross your path.
Controls:
[Left / Right]: Steer the ship
[X / V / ❎]: Start Game / Retry
（Z / C / 🅾️）: BOOST
Note: You are ONLY invincible while boosting!
Pro-Tips (The "seopon" Method):
1.Chase the Echo: The scoring stays active until the enemy reaches -50 on the Y-axis. Don't let them escape into the distance!

Use the arrow keys to move and pick up clocks to increase your score.
Clocks give you 0.5 more seconds to continue.
Just a small game I made while getting back into PICO-8.

Candy Chomp is another tiny game challenge on SpaceCat's Skool and this time the theme was candy. I struggled a bit because of the drive to make something "original" but I thought better of it in the end.
Move the mouth around with the arrow keys and eat the candy. Every piece of candy has its own score value, indicated by the pitch of the sound it makes when you eat it. Miss 10 candies and it's over.
Press X for a tiny speed boost, and there's also a wraparound to make sure you have an edge over those pesky out-of-reach candies. Hve fun ^^

Sooo~ about that last post... it's a little silly.
I had completely forgotten about PICO-8's extra video modes when I made it. Turns out you can use poke(0x5f2c,2) to set the resolution to 128x64 pixels and then stretch it out horizontally using a script/command-line parameters -draw_rect.
Here's a similar example, first uncorrected:
Aaaand now the corrected one:
It also has the upside of not requiring extra special treatment and fiddling besides two things:
- You have to make the game with this resolution in mind, since it can only use the top half of the screen.
and (unfortunately) - You still have to use custom launch options to make it work correct. For exported games that means a custom launcher to set the proper window and screen size.
This would actually be a lot easier if -draw_rect was affected by the position and shape of the window. Even an option to make it so PICO-8 stretches to fill the window would be preferable. Until then, I think this might be as good as it gets.

Pocket SWarm is the cutest Galaga inspired game you'll find. Play it. Love it.
Pixel by pixel hand crafted sprites, AI assisted code. It's all good. Hope you love it!

So, for some reason, if you try to divide a number by 0, picotron just completely freezes. That's it. Anyway, here's the code I was making when I encountered this bug.
function sprDim(s,getw)
local spr_data = s
if type(s) == "number" then
spr_data = get_spr(s)
end
if spr_data then
if(getw)then
return spr_data:width()
else
return spr_data:height()
end
end
return 0, 0
end
function tquad(src,x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4)
local dist12 = sqrt( ((x2-x1) ^ 2) + ((y2-y1) ^ 2) )
local dist34 = sqrt( ((x4-x3) ^ 2) + ((y4-y3) ^ 2) )
local maxDist = max(dist12, dist34)
if maxDist == 0 then return end
for i=0, maxDist do
local ti = i / maxDist
local xa = x1 + (x2 - x1) * ti
local ya = y1 + (y2 - y1) * ti
local xb = x3 + (x4 - x3) * ti
local yb = y3 + (y4 - y3) * ti
tline3d(src, xa, ya, xb, yb, ti*sprDim(src,true), 0, ti*sprDim(src,true), sprDim(src,false)-1)
end
end
function project(x,y,z,retX)
if retX then
return ((x*fov)/y)+240
else
return ((z*fov)/y)+135
end
end
function _init()
fov=1
floorCorners={
project(-1,0,1,true),project(-1,0,1,false),
project(1,0,1,true),project(1,0,1,false),
project(-1,1,1,true),project(-1,1,1,false),
project(1,1,1,true),project(1,1,1,false)
}
end
function printFloor(src)
tquad(src,unpack(floorCorners))
end
function _draw()
cls()
printFloor(1)
end
function _update()
end |
UPDATE:
turns out it's not actually because of dividing by zero. Instead, it's related to arguments put into tline3d. See @Werxzy comment for more details.
