Title screen to "Volleybally". I find it surprisingly captivating to watch the CPU play.

A first exploration of a rhythm game. It took me a while before stumbling on the little-documented stat(56) which enables to properly sync audio and graphics!

This is a janky, physics based platformer-fighter about recklessly launching yourself at robots in increasingly work-safety-violating environments.

Dropkicks Inc. offers its services to automated companies of "sublegal" status who need an incident cleaned up (with everyone's favorite kind being robots gone haywire) without official help. With how many machines there are in the world, this is a fairly sustainable business! Try to ignore all the shady stuff going on in the background. Or don't.

Features 6 linear levels, each with several messy, destructible environments and occasionaly giant UFOs, heat-seeking missles, grappling hooks, laser swords, burning oil and more!

This is the first PICO-8 game that I release and publish to the BBS so it might not be perfect. This game was supposed to take a week to make, and I ended up finishing it in only 8 hours...

The game is also available on itch.io!

Controls

X: When the text and color matches

Z or C: When the text and color are different

About the game

This is a game I made in only 8 hours which is based on the Stroop effect.

The goal is simple: A text is shown on the screen with a color. If the text is in the same color as what the text says, press X, if not, press Z or C. If you are correct, your score increases by 1. If you are wrong, the game ends instantly. You have only 3 seconds to determine it, it's a rapidness game!

So I made an app that allows you to sort your favourites.txt file. I have two versions one for MuOS and one for Raspberry Pi. I encountered an issue where I have few hundred favourites. And trying to find them is a pain. Now you can sort the list by any category you see fit.

Heya!

I'm working on a chat server for Picotron, and I'm having the issue that I'm required to poll the server to be able to check for any new messages.

I will not be able to use anything but TCP/UDP, to my knowledge - I'm planning on using a free service like playit.gg or cloudflare to act as a tunnel between the home server and clients - this is the reason it's required to be https.

This would be running at my own house on a home server, and I'd prefer not to overload it too much, so I've been looking into how I can get this to work better, rather than constantly fetching the webpage over and over.

I thought to streamed radio stations that occur over the web, and thought I could setup the same thing.

I decided to take one of these https streamed endpoints and try fetch it in Picotron and, to my expectations, Picotron did not like it.

Due to there being data transmitted, since it's streaming, Picotron kept the fetch running but froze the entire application - this can of course be fixed with on_complete but the stream would never actually complete.

If anyone has any ideas on a way to fetch streamed data, I'd be very grateful!

For reference, I'll share snippets of code that's currently used:

@router.get("/get_messages")
def getMessages(authorization: str=Header(None)):
    if not authorization or not authorization.startswith("Bearer "):
        return Response(
            content=pod({"ok": False, "error": "Missing token"}),
            media_type="text/plain"
        )

    token=authorization

I'm unsure if this is a bug with my code, or with picotron's. Anyway, the text editor in this code doesn't seem to be working, and the gui elements don't seem to be resizing. Any help would be appreciated.

--update the friend list to contain the user's data, such as icon or username
function ufl()
	for i=#friends,1,-1 do
		friends[i]=fetch("bbs://user/"..friends[i].user_id)
	end
	store(fl_path,friends)
end

function _init()
	window{
		width=200,
		height=100,
		title="♥ Podnet Friends ♥"
	}

	fl_path="/appdata/bbs/"..stat(101).."/friends.pod"
	friends=fetch(fl_path) or {}
	ufl()

	height=100

	gui=create_gui{
		x=0,
		y=0,
		width=200,
		height=100,
		update=function(self,msg)
			self.width=width
			self.height=height
			return true
		end
	}

	add_friend=gui:attach{
		x=0,
		y=0,
		width=100,
		height=15,
		cursor="pointer",
		draw=function(self,msg)
			if msg.has_pointer then
				rectfill(0,0,self.width,self.height,25)
			else
				rectfill(0,0,self.width,self.height,9)
			end
			spr(1,4,4)
			print("Add Friend",15,3,7)
		end
	}

	te=gui:attach_text_editor{

		y=0,

		max_lines=1,
		margin_top=4,
		margin_left=4,
		text_callback=function(self,msg)
			if (tonum(msg)) return true
		end
		--allows only numbers. credit to the user manual
	}

	friend_holder=gui:attach{
		x=0,
		y=15,
		height=85,
		width=200,
		update=function(self,msg)
			self.width=width
			self.height=height-15
		end
	}

	friend_holder:attach_scrollbars{
		scroll_spd=1,
		autohide=false
	}

	friend_holder:attach{

			self.width=width
			self.height=#friends*18
		end,
		draw=function(self,msg)
			rectfill(0,0,self.width,self.height,18)
			for i=1,#friends do
				rectfill(0,(i-1)*18,self.width,i*18,13)
			end
		end
	}
end

function _update()
	local disp=get_display()
	width=disp:width()
	height=disp:height()
	gui:update_all()
	--gui IS updating
	--I think
	--something different happens if I comment it out
end

function _draw()
	cls(1)
	gui:draw_all()

Dear Zep!

There is a typo in PICO-8 Manual (0.2.7) Commandline parameters section:

-screenshot_scale n     scale of screenshots.  default: 3 (368x368 pixels)

Using value 3 the size of screenshot will be 384x384 instead of 368x368.

GameDesign

This is a bullet hell inspired by Touhou's mathematical patterns, the idea of the 3D tower was inpsired from the towers from Mina the Hollower. Everything has been made by ourselves. You just have to finish the level! It's not easy of course, but you'll be able to see beautiful mathematical bullet patterns.

How to Play

This game is intended to be played on the side, thus you should do other tasks while it is playing.

behind the scenes

For the particles in game, I looked into a tutorial that explains how to create tables in Lua and used it as a base to make a basic particle system
The tutorial
I hope this is useful to anyone.
