You are Qent, elderly self-proclaimed warrior of glory and renown. Your morning routine has just been interrupted by the shouting of the Town Crier, who is calling for heroes to come to the aid of Kerth, a small nearby hamlet that has just come under attack. But unlike younger, more foolhardy would-be heroes, you know that a true hero does not rush into a situation before one is properly prepared and ready ...

This is my first PICO-8 cart, and marks the start of my foray into making graphical games. All my previous games have been text-based, so it's been a joy to try something new!

Hello, i've playing with pico-8 for quite a long time and is great, i really like this piece of software
the issue: when i try to play two sounds at the same time using the sfx command, despite specifying different channels in the parameter, one sound cuts the other, for example:
sfx(0, 0, 0, 1) --plays only the first note from the first sfx page on channel 0 sfx(0, 1, 2, 1) --plays only the third note from the first sfx page on channel 1 |
the first sfx page:
(result: the sounds overlaps eachother, instead of mixing them despite being on different channels)
but if the second sound i'm trying to play comes from a different sfx page, the sounds mixes without any problem
sfx(0, 0, 0, 1) --plays only the first note from the first sfx page on channel 0 sfx(1, 1, 0, 1) --plays only the first note from the second sfx page on channel 1 |
the second sfx page:

Hey!
I discovered PICO-8 about a month ago and am blown away with what everybody has created, so I got a RG351V device to play them better. I'm no tech wiz - I don't even know coding - so I had to teach myself a couple things in order to get the recommended firmware (351ELEC) running on the device.
I was having such a great time playing a few P8 games on my RG351V, and then I started up the game PICOWARE. I'd start the game's cutscene, and then after that...a command line popped up that essentially froze my system. So I had to hard restart. And then I tried playing the game again, but the command line came back up after the cutscene. Now PICO-8 won't boot up at all - not for Splore, and not for any cart file. Here are all the things I’ve tried in order to get PICO-8 working again:
-
remove the PICO-8 files from my SD card, then put them back in again.
-
delete any PICO-8 files that I didn’t initially add; files that the system had to create.
- re-flash 351ELEC on my smaller card and then re-install PICO-8 from there.
All of these things I have tried, yet I still get the red screen pictured below. I even took a screenshot of my mac with the failed bootup in text form. Again, I'm not a coder, which is why I'm bringing it here. Everything else about the system still works, thankfully, but I'd love to continue playing P8 games too! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

My submission for the O2A2 VN Jam (Only One of Any Asset), a short visual novel about Lilith meeting the tentacle monster Medusa.
This is prequel to my previous game Medusa a short SHMUP about protecting Medusa as you escape.
Many thanks to dragonsbutalsorabbits for drawing the character sprite at very short notice before the jam deadline.

A chilling survival horror experience awaits you in this game about keeping a ball up by bouncing it with a stick that spins as you move it.
Press Left/Right to move the stick AND spin it.
How long can you delay the inevitable?

After some tinkering around with the engine and it's programming language, I've decided to make a legitimate game, and what better to do than make a remake of one of my favorite card games: blackjack (no i am not a gambling addict).
Of course this is my first real project, and no real guide was followed so it's bound to be messy here and there. I just advise you to not look at the code and report bugs if you find any.

This is a suggestion, not a bug obviously.
The ability to toggle on a metronome tick/beep every 4 beats in the sfx editor would be quite helpful for composing tunes.

Hello all, again.
I'm trying to get my head around tables.
I thought it would be a good idea to store a table of the possible modes and enemy can be in, chase, pause, detect etc.
So the enemy could only be in one mode at a time without all the if statements.
I tried this:
function add_new_enemy(x,y,type)
add(enemy,{
mode={},
add(mode,{1,2,3}),
x=x,
y=y.... etc. |
Adding a table called 'mode' with values 1,2,3 (All in the name of experimentation.)
Similar to the last problem I asked about, I'm trying to just print the first value of 'mode'.
In the _draw I have this:
print(enemy[1].mode[1]) |
But that print NIL
What am I doing wrong? is my table all wrong are is my print statement wrong?
Many thanks

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

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...
