hey so i think i just found a new tech
basically, from what i can see, the player falls down, and with enough precision and velocity in which the player falls, there is a one-frame window where you can jump off of the wall with the spikes
this just stood out to me because the hitbox of a right-facing spike is larger than a left-facing spike's hitbox. This allows the player to jump off of a left-facing spike's wall while stationary, but not with a right-facing spike's.
maybe this was already a tech?

The 'Open Host OS Folder' and the built-in capture tools never worked for me
But tonight I finally asked for help on the discord and I managed to fix the issue
Turns out, Picotron doesn't like the fact that the 'Desktop' folder can be localized (which is pretty common)
So a simple ln -s /home/oniricorpe/Bureau/ /home/oniricorpe/Desktop is enough as a workaround
Would be great to work as intended whatever is the language of the host system
picotron 0.2.0h, build 250719-175851

my entry for this years womengamejam 2025 the theme was "nothing is at it seems" or something similar.
i did this on my own but since i did not follow any tutorial(excpets the teachings form Nerdy teacher about sepparated things) rapidly i needed the help form chatgpt4, because it has been so long since the first game i did i had forgotten lots(and my screnshoot folder got erased by mistake TT_TT) so i just participated to make something quite simple and relearn ocncepts.
hopefully my next game will be made on my own!
it called
MIRAGE
the futility of love.
who knew something so simple would take so much out of me?im extremedly tired.hehe but it was fun.

Hey everyone!
I was working on a demake of Balatro, and was testing out some functions by running the card over and over, when it suddenly started reporting a "memory overload." It wouldn't run, until I restarted Picotron. But when I loaded it back up, all my sprites were completely missing! Not just corrupted, but completely blacked out.
Of course, I have anywhen running for times like these, so I load up a previous save and... huh?
No matter what I do, anywhen can not load any previous file. Either I put in only a date, and it tries to load from 5AM (which has no file), or I put in an exact time, and it searches for a completely different one. In fact, most dates I put in end up with Picotron searching for this exact date in the picture: Aug 17, 01:48:17. Not only is that not what I typed, it's actually in the future!
Now anywhen is saving my deltas, probably correctly. As seen below, I'm actually putting in times that align with real supposed saves (adjusted for 4-hour time zone in the above picture, but even without it it returns the same result)

Hey All, PICO-8 0.2.7 is now up on lexaloffle, Humble and itch.io. No CHIP/PocketCHIP build yet, sorry! (my last PocketCHIP died -- I'll come back to that later)
This update introduces some late additions to the API before freezing at 0.3, and improvements aimed at handheld devices. 0.2.7 also includes an important security patch for a vulnerability affecting untrusted carts running locally (see below).
RRECT
This feature was needed for Picotron but I think also feels at home in PICO-8 / Voxatron. rrect() and rrectfill() take x,y for the top left corner, a width and height of the rectangle, and a radius for the corners. When the radius is 0 (the default), rrect / rrectfill act as an alternative to rect / rectfill when it is more convenient to specify a width and height rather than x1, y1.

I bought pico8 in 2022, and tried reaching out to [email protected] a few times, never with an answer. Somehow, the product didn't get registered to my account, so I cannot update. Is my only option to update/continue to rebuy pico8?
Thanks in advance!

Tank Empty Pico
Driving along the highway, you find yourself low on fuel and in the most treacherous area of the highway. Collect the gas cans to refill your tank, while avoiding road obstacles and other drivers, to reach as far as you can.
Good luck!
About the development
I wanted a simple project to get started with PICO-8, so I decided to remake my very first game from scratch.
I had a lot of fun learning, and I'm sure to use PICO-8 and/or Picotron for further game dev!
Changelog
- v1.1 (the Outline Update)
- Updated PICO-8 to version 0.2.7

Oil spill simulator!
This implements the Fast Marching Method for the Eikonal equation to calculate the spread of waves - puddles - on a plane where the propagation speed varies according to a simplex noise function.
Randomly varying amounts of puddles will be created at once; as they collide, they form a kind of Voronoi diagram. Where a puddle goes, it will also draw some new noise for the next generation of puddles, and each puddle chooses its own palette and possibly dithering method to display it.

Play as a hungry seagull that needs to eat as much as possible while avoiding the bad stuff. Eat enough food within 3 timed rounds to be crowned the fry queen!
This is a simple catcher-style game for my first pico-8 cart. I have a long list of features to add such as music, randomizing wearable hats, more powerups, enhancing the background art i.e. parallaxing clouds and tiles for the ground.
Please enjoy & I'm open to any suggestions for improvement

I was trying to start carts for Picotron in my RetroPie installation on a Raspberry Pi5.
I eventually figured out how to configure EmulationStation for Picotron and that I can start a cartridge in headless mode by using picotron -x %ROM%.
When I start a game this way from EmulationStation, the screen goes black showing only a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. But I can hear the sound from the cartridge, this means Picotron must be running the cartridge in the background or something like that.
I also tested this on my laptop with Linux Mint starting the linux version of picotron from the terminal with -x and I have the same result: no display, only the cart sound in the background.
I use Picotron V0.2.0h3
