New to postcarts. I'd love to see a shorter version to learn from!
It's meant to be a slice of hills but it looks more like a ribbon.

Do you wanna make games for a fantasy console?
TIC-JAM is the perfect time to do it!
It's beginner-friendly, and it's moderately long (5 days!).
It starts on the 10th of August, but you can join now for more SUSPENSE!!
The theme will be announced on the 6th, and you can start working on your game then!
And there is a bonus theme... that is optional... but it may enhance your score!
Join at https://itch.io/jam/tic-jam-826!
If you want to get started with a fantasy console before TIC-JAM starts - we recommend PICO-8 or TIC-80.
They're the only 2 allowed for now, anyway.
PICO-8: this link
TIC-80: this link 2

Serendipity
An interactive 3D celestial cartography experience for Picotron.
About the Program
(v0.1) is an early-stage.
(v0.2) Added some moons and all the planets from solar system.
(v0.3) Fixed some bugs, colors changes and sound added.
Serendipity - Azimuthal Star Map is an interactive digital planetarium and 3D star mapping tool. It projects the celestial sphere using a full azimuthal grid, allowing you to explore all 88 official International Astronomical Union (IAU) constellations, along with background stars and reference bodies.
Featuring smooth camera navigation, real-time search, and detailed star catalog data, this application turns your Picotron workspace into an astronomical observation post.
Controls Guide
-
Open / Close Menu: Press TAB to toggle the side search panel.
- Search / Filter: When the menu is open, type directly on your keyboard to search for any star or constellation.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to share the latest update for my platformer Fox Fall Adventures. The new world is called Clown World — a bright, chaotic circus-themed stage packed with flaming hoops, tricky platforms, spikes, and some very goofy clown monsters. You play as a little fox who runs, jumps, and shoots fireballs through all the madness. It’s available right now on:
• itch.io → https://atomic2002.itch.io/
• Google Play → https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomic2002.foxfalladventurestrilogy Would love any feedback, especially if you try the new Clown World levels! Thanks for checking it out
Hello!
I've been working on a demake of my favorite UFO 50 game Camouflage.
I've dabbled in making games many times, but this is the furthest I've ever gotten into actually making something. All of the pieces are in place and everything (so far) works.
TODO:
-Music
-sfx for baby get
-moving enemies
-animating an enemy seeing you
-store the sight of each enemy to the enemy rather than a big pool for the aforementioned animation.
-adding the sun/ rain mechanics from UFO50
-I have a whole other empty sprite sheet that I could for more fun environmental things.
-idle animations?
-maybe whole new mechanics like doors and keys?
-maybe levels that are more than one screen?

Re-Key
Because not everyone wants to use Z/X.
If you're like me and prefer Space or some other key instead of Z, you've come to the right place. Re-Key lets you easily change which keyboard keys are mapped to the btn() controls.
Up until now, this functionality was only available in Pico-8. Picotron recently added this as a feature, but does not include its own UI and normally requires hand-editing a .pod file and entering numeric keyboard scancodes. With Re-Key, you just click the key you want to rebind, press the new key, and that's it.
System requirements
Re-Key is a front-end GUI for editing key_controls.pod, which was introduced with Picotron 0.3.0d. If you have an older version of Picotron, this utility will not work!

Testing tline3d() + colour tables along with some new userdata operations for picotron 0.3.1
This example uses a batch lerp() to generate edge data that can be fed directly into a batch tline3d call without spending a lot of cpu shunting data around. The example scene has 800 quads and uses 60~80% cpu.
Instead of directly providing a build-in tri() or even draw_scene() function, the idea is to instead work the userdata api into something that can carry implementations in userland wherever possible. I think in the long term this approach can yield a richer ecosystem of middleware and snippets that explore original techniques that extend beyond use cases the api design was tested on.

PLAY TETHERBALL!!
P1: WASD G:jump, H: attack
P2: Arrow Keys K:jump, L: attack
Four directional attack options, up, side and down attacks.
Two playable characters.
Play by yourself, against a CPU or a friend!
Hit the ball at the apex of its swing to get a critical hit or combo the ball three times without repeating an attack. If the critical hit ball hits your opponent, they get knocked down. Usually this is the win condition.
Happy Bday, Alex!
Love,
Whetticus

COLORO (PICO-8 Edition)
A PICO-8 port of the abstract strategy board game Coloro!
Enjoy the core mechanics of anticipation and tile drafting, now beautifully recreated with an 8-bit retro pixel vibe.
How to Play
Coloro is a 2-player abstract strategy game of tile drafting and set collection.
- Setup: The game starts with 36 tiles randomly placed in a 6x6 grid.
- Drafting: On your turn, you must move the direction marker (the arrow) along the row or column it is pointing to. You collect the tile you land on and place the direction marker in the empty space you just created.
- The Twist: After collecting a tile, you must rotate the direction marker 90 degrees. This means if you moved vertically, your opponent is forced to move horizontally on their next turn, and vice versa. Every decision influences your opponent's next move!
