Hello,
I've recently discovered Pico8 and am falling in love with it. One small quirk that might be easy to change but I did not figure out: how can I change the background of the environment, i.e. everything besides the Pico8 window in fullscreen mode on MacOS? It's a rather distracting red-black striped pattern and I'd favour something else, e.g. everything in black.
Any hints are appreciated,
Thanks,
Michael

Pub Night
This game was my submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2021. I was suffering from a bad cold during the jam, so I unfortunately wasn't able to make anything that good. Nevertheless, I'm glad I at least made something.
Originally, I only uploaded this to by itch page (https://niall-chandler-games.itch.io/) as I honestly forgot to upload it here :/
I hope at least you like it, at least a little. It's not much, but I did try.
Maybe you'll relate to wanting to join your friends in a pub...
This is just a post test.
To send this game to someone else.
Nothing else.
Please notice that this game is WIP.
Special thanks to:
- Murka: some ideas
- Rilden: drawing deck help
- SimL altar help
How to play:
Map of the floor
Press up/down/left/right arrow to choose the room.
Press X to enter.

- Press left/right arrow to choose the card.
- Press X to buy it or exit shop if you have chosen an exit.

Enemy fight
At the top-left corner of the screen you can see cards that are in your hand right now.
Press left/right arrow to choose card.
Press X to use card.
At the top-right corner you can see cards that you will get after you use a card from your hand.
Using a card will place it to the end of your deck.
When you use a card, the enemy "timer" subtracts by 1. When it equals 0, enemy attacks.
Cards
Basically there are 2 types of cards: usable and weapons, but some of them can give special effects to you or enemy.
Effects
|
[0x0] |
Every next move deals 1 damage.
|
[0x0] |
When owner attacks, it heals 1 hp.
|
[0x0] |
Every attack of the owner will have -1 damage.
Right now, tostr(n) converts to decimal, and tostr(n,anything_except_nil_or_false) converts to hex.
Could it use the optional second arg as a base if it's a number? e.g.
>?tostr(255) 255 >?tostr(255,false) 255 >?tostr(255,true) 0x00ff.0000 >?tostr(255,16) 0x00ff.0000 >?tostr(255,10) 255 >?tostr(255,2) 0b0000000011111111.0000000000000000 |
For the sake of simplicity, you could limit it to the bases the parser can read. I think that's just decimal, hex, and binary.

This is the first game I made without a tutorial. Its pretty bad but I think it turned out fine.
Hi people, thanks for checking out my game.
Instructions:
This is a high score game; you need to get as many gold coins as possible.
Go to the red flag to progress to the next level.
Notes:
This is my second published game on pico-8.
I made this throughout the night and now I need sleep.

UPDATE: The dungeon generation logic has been revamped. Rooms are not always rectangular, and can often have a bit more cover (or hiding places for monsters). Also added a couple of new enemy types. Gold has been removed (I needed the extra tokens), but it didn't really do anything anyway.
Grab your magic staff and venture deep into the demon realm to defeat Bahmott and his evil servants!
Trial of the Sorcerer is a procedurally generated 3D first person shooter inspired by Wolfenstein 3D and Catacomb Abyss.
Shoot monsters, collect loot, find keys to unlock doors, and try to find the exit to the next level.
And don't forget to pickup the power crystals to level-up your magic staff along the way.
Input
Arrows = Move
X = Shoot
Z = Hold to strafe
Or use player 2 controls (E,S,D,F) to move/strafe and player 1 controls to turn.
Mouse input can be enabled via the pause menu (once in game), but only when playing via the Pico-8 application as mouse locking doesn't currently work in the browser version.
Tips
Doors with a small black keyhole require keys.
Each door requires a specific key, so if one won't open it means you don't have the right key yet.
A 0-4 player minimalist 4x strategy game
9 maps to choose from plus a random daily map
Capture bases, farmland, and factories to increase your income
Use science to improve your chance of winning battles
Capture all bases to win the game
Optional fog of war
Rounds last between 2 to 10 seconds based on settings
Tinymal Crossing
A very early start to what I guess could be called a "demake" of the first Animal Crossing on the N64/GameCube.
This started life last year as a modification of Oli414's "Pico Crossing", so while there have been a fair amount of changes to it, you can still see the blood of the original in places. Work on making it its own thing has been fairly on and off, so if someone sees the potential to build off of/improve it, then do what you want with it.
What the game has
-
A working real-time day-night cycle, similar to that of the GBC Pokémon games. To change the appearance to night, the colors are replaced with darker shades, usually from the hidden palette.
-
Seasonal changes to the appearance of the world, all using the original game's dates to determine when these changes happen. Cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, and snow are done by replacing colors on the map and world sprites with the appropriate ones for that time of year.
-
Procedurally placed trees, flowers, and rocks. At the moment, holes and weeds are also being placed.
- A random selection of animal villagers roam the "town". Current species are ducks, cats, goats, frogs, eagles, mice, ostriches/peacocks, and dogs. By replacing colors of markings on their heads, it is possible to make a fairly wide variety of villagers using only 3 sprites for each species.
-
Random greetings from the villagers, based on the time of day and that villager's personality. Many personalities have placeholder greetings currently, due to not yet having found a way to categorize the ripped dialogue.
-
An inventory...mostly. I don't remember if I ever got items to pick up properly, but there aren't any items to pick up at the moment, anyway. To pause/unpause, press both Z and X together.
- A decent amount of the visual/audio stuff a game like this would need. Many sprites are based on those from Animal Island and the GBA minigames.
What I'd like to add/see someone add
-
A system for loading the dialogue (and probably also the villagers) externally. I looked into this, but never found the time to actually implement it.
-
A system for generating the town using "acres" created from strings.
-
A flexible system for furniture items. To save on space, this might be best done by having a collection of generic sprites that are used to "build" a variety of furniture sprites.
- The ability to save/load your town - the placement of objects, the villagers living there, player stats, etc.
I'm not sure if there's anything someone might find useful from this - a lot of optimization is needed, and a great deal of things still need any sort of implementation. However, as stated earlier, feel free to do something with it for yourself if you see anything of use.

Embarrassing question but please be gentle. I'm very new to all this.
I have this code: (Lower down there). It's a bit mock up really for this question.
Lower down still in my code I'm working on a collision detection bit that needs, among other things, the value of x.
As you can see, it's all referencing 'self' and I have NO IDEA how to get the x value from this line:
spr(17,self.x,self.y,1,1,false)
Would someone please help a noob out.
Many thanks

function add_new_enemy()
add(enemy,{
x=80,
y=96,
w=8,
h=8,
dx=rnd(2)-1,
dy=rnd(2)-1,
life=20,
draw=function(self)
spr(17,self.x,self.y,1,1,false)
end,
update=function(self)
self.x+=self.dx
self.y+=self.dy
self.life-=1
if self.life<0 then
del(enemy,self)
end
end
})

I know we haven't seen a Celeste 2 mod in a while, but I present to you, Celeste 2 Flip!
(Inspired by VVVVVV by Terry Cavanagh and Gravity Guy)
In this mod for Celeste Classic 2, Lani has discovered the gravity suit, use it to flip your gravity (X/V) and traverse the mountain. Enjoy!
Changes:
- Replaced Lani's grappling hook with the ability to flip gravity!
- Controls: Left and right arrows to move, Z/C to jump, and X/V to flip Lani's gravity!
- Removed grapple points and carrying functionality.
- Going too far off of the top of the screen also kills you.
HARD MODE: Well, shortly after creating the mod, I received some suggestions from the EXOK Discord for a new version which I have implemented into a new form of the mod,
Celeste 2 Flip - Hard Mode: Gravity Laughs Back!
Hard Mode Changes:
- Can only flip gravity one time until you lose your flip charge!
- You can regain your flip charge by touching the ground, bouncing off of an object, collecting a berry, or doing a wall jump. You will need to combine these methods in order to win.
- These changes to gravity flipping make hard mode considerably more difficult, though not impossible or as close to as difficult as Vingals was... Good luck!
Feel free to post your best times or feedback in the comments!

Haha, gravity...
Hey guys! This is my first Pico8 submission. I'm hoping it will motivate me to work more on it. I'm trying to port the classic shmup Gradius to Pico8. I'll likely run out of room, but if I can get the first level in playable, I'll be happy.
I'm concentrating on accuracy. Currently there is no real gameplay. I worked on the ship animation, parallax scrolling, and spent far too much time on the music. Next thing to do is enemies so we can actually shoot some things.
Hope you enjoy this prototype and lemme know any feedback!
LCD Custom font
Recreation of the font used by some LCD screens.
Please credit Yolwoocle if you use it, feel free to use it anywhere, like your Idle MMORPG Metroidvania with LCD screen graphics!
(Jokes aside, I would be very curious to see what a game using this font as graphics would look like -- there's an LCD screen pixel art included in the cart.)
Some characters might not correspond to their usual pico-8 counterparts. This is because the character codes are copied directly from the lcd character sheet.
Copy these lines to use the font in your cart:
