Galaxy Invasion!

A tribute to the fantastic game by the great Big 5 Software co. (Bill Hogue and Jeff Konyu) who produced high quality games for the Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80, one of the first mass-market home computers released in 1977.

I was lucky enough to have one of these machines, which my father purchased when the Sinclair ZX81 was out of stock. I am so glad that it was because this was a far superior machine in my opinion.

On this machine I learned to program in BASIC and this has led to a 40+ year career in software development.

I first saw the original game running on a TRS-80 that my secondary school had in the computer department.

Heyo! This is my first game after a week of learning the ropes of Lua and Pico-8.

The goal is simple: collect the gems to increase your score whilst avoiding the spotlight, which will deduct from your score. My current best is 15000.

A simple timer desktop app, and the first thing I've written for Picotron :p It's an homage to a LöVE2D tool I wrote many years ago that served a similar purpose.

Features

• Counts up to 999:59:59
• Repeat mode (will restart the countdown after time expires)
• Stopwatch mode (will count up after time expires, or with no time set)
• Plays simple jingles when time is up / when a repeat triggers
• Larger-digit display for easier reading
• Shows the time the alarm will go off next

Keyboard controls:

• 0-9 number keys: input that digit
• R: toggle repeat
• C: reset/clear input
• space/enter: start / pause / resume
• = (equals): add a minute

timer clock tool app

Revision 4:

• Added speedrun timer (Hold Z while pressing Play to show)
• Slightly improved upgrade menu hud
• Fixed bugs

Revision 5:

• Applied small changes made to Picotron port

Revision 6:

• Added "studio logo"
• Tweaked footprint system
• Tweaked level design

Overview

Sorting a list is something every programmer has to do at some point, and there are so many algorithms for it depending on the use case. So for PICO-8, which algorithm should you choose, and how would you implement it? Wonder no longer.

Run load #sort in your PICO-8 console, then run the cart to bring up a chart of 28 different pre-made sorting functions. This chart will help you compare the token count and performance of these algorithms.

• Press ⬆️/⬇️ to move through the rows, and press ❎ to enable/disable a row.
• Press ⬅️/➡️ to move through the columns, and press 🅾️ to sort a column (ascending or descending).

Hiya, so for my current project I'm trying to create a 10x10 grid of little sheep that are going to represent the player's score out of 100 at the end of the game. I had originally done it in a less economic way with each sheep being an individual table object but I came up against the token limit. I've tried to write this code here to get the same effect, but when I run it, all the sheep just appear in the top corner of the screen. Where am I going wrong? Many thanks!!!

function initendgraphic()

score=0

topcornerx=19
topcornery=25

sheepfield={}

column={
topcornerx,
topcornerx+9,
topcornerx+18,
topcornerx+27,
topcornerx+36,
topcornerx+45,
topcornerx+54,
topcornerx+63,
topcornerx+72,
topcornerx+81
}

row={
topcornery,
topcornery+9,
topcornery+18,
topcornery+27,
topcornery+36,
topcornery+45,
topcornery+54,
topcornery+63,
topcornery+72,
topcornery+81
}

sheepcountsprites={16,32,48,41}

end

function updateendgraphic()

for i=0,100 do
add(sheepfield,{
sp=rnd(sheepcountsprites),
value=i,
column=column.i,
row=row.i,

if score>=self.value then
pal(5,7) else pal(5,14)
end
end,
