Hey all!
It's been awhile, hasn't it?
I have a new Pico-8 project brewing. Anyone care to guess what it could be? (Edit: people guessed quick! It's a Castlevania Demake)
I will update this post to keep everyone up to speed when I upload a new cart. Check out the spoiler below if you're interested!
Change Log:
Hi! First post here :>
I finished this during a gamejam just yesterday, and (no shit) it's made in pico8. So I just thought I would share it.
The code is licensed under the unlicense, assets under cc0. Basically, you can do whatever you want with it without having to credit me. I do appreciate being credited though. If you mod this or use something you learned / got from this then give me a headsup so I can check out what you've made <3
Oh and itch page is here for anyone interested.
The Treasures have been returned to their rightful depths!
Lavatower
The name is the game, its a tower, its full of lava. XD Nobody knows if it was an old ritual to climb the tower and gather your ancestors jewels or if it was a trap for adventurers from overseas.
Climb the tower!
Grab a friend (or foe) and see who can outclimb the other. Gather jewels and other treasures along the way and keep going because there is lava rising up and swallowing up the floors. You can´t jump in this game, but have a handy rope to throw with a press of the A-Button, while you can punch at the other player with the B-Button.
There is no escape!
The game has no real end, besides the deathstate and is much more fun together than alone. Maybe Ill add more stuff in the future but for now its plain simple fun to climb, And try and throw each other of the platforms.

Demonstrating how to have a quick and easy to code field of vision without using a bunch of CPU processing or even complex code.
VVhat's new ?
-
Added cpu meter to show how quickly the scans are made. Notice they are < 1% CPU total.
-
Allowed ability of being able to hide behind enemies.
-
Changed the color of passive enemies to dark blue.
-
Distance by default is disregarded. To enable distance check, press the ❎ key. Again to swap.
-
Made walls to be drawn more intelligently where there is always an opening.
-
Improved the engine efficiency by checking the distance to the target first only using a search when the distance has been met.
- Sped-up the player's movement slightly by adjusting the key repeat.
Use the arrow keys to navigate.
Press 🅾️ to swap between seeing the enemies only if they see you or not.
Press ❎ to enable distance, again to disregard which is the default.
You can travel freely through the walls.
Note that the enemies cannot see you through a wall even if it is very close to them. This is being done by tracking each enemy to the player to see if an obstacle is in the way. If it is like a wall then the enemy cannot see you.
What other simple methods can you use to have a player not be seen by an enemy if there is an obstacle in the way ?

My entry for the 15th Alakajam "books"
Due to external circumstances, I had around 12h of time instead of the full 48, but I'm very happy with this little concept (the difficulty might spike a bit too suddenly and then it's already done, but well...)
I've been drawing for 8 months every single day. and I really like Pico 8, so I thought I can mix two and two together . my profile drawing was made 4 months ago so my art skills have been going up from there. I'm not the best at pixel art but I can try. thx for reading. 
edit 1: topleft cards were incorrect (changed to 8-7 pair)
music is Startropics (NES) - Town Theme

Hello! I've been working on a pico-8 version of Tritris in my free time. If you don't know, Tritris is a web game developed by Goel based on Tetris but with a twist : the blocks are made up of triangles. (I recommend learning how to play on the official website.) I added a few features that make the gameplay a bit different from the original. It's kind of like the difference between modern Tetris and the classic NES version.
There are still a few bugs that I haven't been able to pin down, but I've been sitting on it for about a month now, and I think it's pretty playable. Today I finally uploaded it to itch.io. I decided I'd upload it here as well because after all, I've learned so much from the various Tetris remakes others have made here.
I hope you enjoy!
Hi everyone, I think this can't be a bug that only I just found out so I'm posting it here for some help instead of in the bugs forum.
I seem to be having the weirdest behaviour easing out a negative var towards 0: it never becomes zero again (either negative or positive), despite printing as such. Check the below reproducer code and gif, neither y==0 nor y==-0 conditions catch the zero, even though at first you can see true.
Please help?
Thanks!
function _init()
y=0
end
function _update()
y*=0.85
if btn(2) then
y-=0.65
end
end
function _draw()
cls()
print("time: "..time())
print("y="..y)
print("is y==0? "..(y==0 and 'true' or 'false'))
print("is y==-0? "..(y==-0 and 'true' or 'false'))

A segmented LCD-style clock. It's pretty simple, but figuring out an efficient way of storing the graphics and not using any spritesheet space was interesting. Entry for the Pico-8 512-Char Jam.
I'm trying to make a block-pushing puzzle game to help me understand lua more.
syntax error pls help
I am working on a program to both read and write lowercase letters to the clipboard, yet I don't think this is possible.
Try out this code by copying it and pasting it directly to source-code.
function _init()
printh("{text}","@clip")
end
|
Where it says {text} go to that area, remove the "text" then press CTRL+P to enter Puny Font Mode - then type in the editor some lowercase letters between the two quotes. "abc" if you like. Then press CTRL+P to exit out of Puny Font Mode.
Then run it.
Then ALT-TAB out of Pico-8 and press CTRL+V to something like Notepad.
You see the problem. Lowercase letters are not sent via the clipboard.
