DESCRIPTION

A.N.N.A. SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL.
PATIENT STATUS IS CRITICAL. MASSIVE INFECTION.
BEGIN PROCEDURE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
GODSPEED.

CONTROLS

Directional Keys control menu navigation and the A.N.N.A. CANNON. Press Z to fire and interact with menus. Enter to pause and reset / edit config.

NOTES

I was very lucky to be picked for the livestream of the game jam's submissions, and I had a great time working on what I would describe as 'Blood Peggle' - I hope you enjoy it as much as I liked making it. I do think we made it a bit too hard, but given that you can start on any level you like, I've opted to leave it as is.

Infestation (Unfinished Game)

Posting this because while it's not finished, I think what is there is worth showing.

This is a sort of tribute/love letter to Kero Blaster, I think. I planned it to be a 4 boss metroidvania where you fight bosses, get a new gun that opens new areas, repeat. Unfortunately I ran out of space and ideas shortly after the first boss. Everything up to that is complete and there's a bit more after that's semi-complete.

Let me know what you think. I probably will not finish this, but I would love to create something finished and similar to this someday. There may be some extra, unfinished or removed stuff you can play around with if you mess with the code a bit.

EDIT: Just realized this has the "Put a flip in it!" function added. I didn't make that and I can't recall who did...if you know, tell me and I will credit or remove it as needed.

Calculating Distance (Looking For Advice)

Sat, 30 Nov 2019 05:42:55 UTC

Hey, everyone! So I am NOT good at math. It's something that I usually figure out once through trial and error and try not to touch ever again. So I'm turning to the more mathematically capable among us to help me decide on something: should I use a new method of determining the distance between two x/y coordinates?

Here's what I've been using up to this point:

function dist(x,y,x2,y2)
 --gets the distance between
 --two points. faster than
 --the previous version.
 local dx, dy = x - x2, y - y2
 local res=(dx * dx + dy * dy)
 if res<0 then
  res=32767
 end
 return res
end

This is the best I could figure out, and I'm sure it can be improved. It overflows, despite my best efforts to prevent it, but it was passable as long as I worked within its limitations.

Here's what I'm thinking might work better:

function xdist(x,x2)
 --gets the distance between
 --two coordinates.
 return abs(x-x2)
end

In theory, this has no complicated math, and could be used to build another function with the same purpose as the original, even though this only works with two. But here's my question: is it faster? Is the math right?

I appreciate any advice and help given! This forum has been invaluable to me.

Faking A Game Crash?

Sat, 07 Sep 2019 19:08:34 UTC

Are there any examples in the BBS of a cart faking a game crash as part of the game? IE printing out a false error message? I was thinking about this and wondered if anybody had done it.

How To Introduce Someone To Pico-8?

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 23:59:00 UTC

How would you guys introduce someone to Pico-8? I guess I'm really asking two things here...how would you introduce someone to the playing side of Pico-8, or the making side of Pico-8? I've been thinking about it but it's kinda hard to explain the concept and appeal sometimes.

Description

A generator based on this cart by @johanp. It uses a similar idea to place rooms, but is much more simplistic (I prefer to try and figure things out on my own before I dig into other people's code.) This particular version continuously generates new dungeons while running. Feel free to reuse this if you like.

Changelog

5/18/19
+Added some statistics about generators.
+Fixed some issues with rooms becoming isolated (I think)
+Randomized the variables rooms are generated with every loop to better showcase the generator.

A dungeon generator that I cobbled together, loosely following the methods described here. Please forgive my trash code. It's somewhat variable, but has an issue with mazes not being entirely connected together. I was hoping I could get some advice on how to fix that by uploading here. Feel free to use this for your own projects, if you want.

This is a quick little experiment whipped up in about two hours. It's janky and the code is bad (I got lazy) but even though it didn't turn out like I wanted, I think it's still pretty fun to look at. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: This is a trash game made for the joy of making, much in the same vein as Bert: Get That Sports! So don't play it if you're looking for a real game, and also maybe don't play it if you have epilepsy problems. I dunno.

This is a work in progress randomly generated marble game. I have to shout out Eggnog, who made the excellent game PicoPutt. You should go play that, this game is only possible because of his excellent collision methods, and it's not nearly as good.

Well, I stand corrected. If you only process the necessary parts of the screen and fake the rest, you can get the effect to take up much less CPU.

I was reading the Dank Tombs articles by Krajzeg and decided to see how far I could get with what I know. I cheated and used a smaller screenspace at 30fps, but not even that could save me from CPU overload...I want to get this effect running well enough that a game could be played using it, but I think at some point to go any farther I'll need to delve into more complicated things than what I'm doing.
